Al Roker's oldest daughter, Courtney Roker Laga, has shared the news of her mom's death.
Taking to Instagram, the mom-of-one posted an emotional post revealing her beloved mother, Alice Bell, had passed away.
Alongside family snapshots of herself and Alice — Al's first wife — she wrote: "She was my mother, my heart, and the most loving grandmother to Sky. I was with her for her last breath, and I will carry her love with me always."
Courtney was inundated with prayers and condolences during this difficult time.
She didn't reveal Alice's cause of death but many of the images showed her mom with a breathing tube as she played with her granddaughter, Sky.
