Al
Roker
and
his
family
are
mourning
a
devastating
loss.
Alice
Bell,
the
Today
show
anchor’s
first
wife
with
whom
he
shared
daughter
Courtney
Roker
Laga,
has
died,
Courtney
confirmed
on
social
media.
Alice
was
77.
“She
was
my
mother,
my
heart,”
Courtney—who
is
mom
to
daughter
Sky,
19
months,
with
husband
Wesley
Laga—wrote
on
Instagram
Feb.
10.
“And
the
most
loving
grandmother
to
Sky.
I
was
with
her
for
her
last
breath,
and
I
will
carry
her
love
with
me
always.”
Her
post
was
accompanied
by
a
series
of
images
of
her
mother,
including
two
framed
images
of
a
young
Courtney
with
Alice,
followed
by
two
of
Alice
holding
Sky.
In
the
latter
two
images,
Alice
appeared
to
be
hooked
up
to
oxygen.
Among
those
sharing
well
wishes
in
Courtney’s
comment
section
was
former
Today
cohost
Tamron
Hall,
who
wrote,
“Sending
our
love.”
Alice’s
family
have
not
shared
any
details
about
her
cause
of
death
and
Al
was
absent
from
the
Feb.
11
Today
broadcast.
