Jennifer Garner and her mom, Pat Garner, brought the laughs and tears during a ‘Today’ show segment with Hoda Kotb
Hoda Kotb became visibly emotional when Jennifer Garner’s mom, Pat Garner, shared her perspective on grief after the death of her husband, William John Garner.
That’s not to say it’s been an easy journey. After 59 years of marriage, Pat said she can’t help but “miss” her husband. “I so wanted to tell him I was gonna be on the Today show,” she said with a laugh as Kotb, 59, wiped away tears. Jennifer, 52, replied, “He loved how much people love you. So he would be right there smiling.”
“We were with him, singing ‘Amazing Grace’ as he left us ,” she wrote via Instagram. “While there is no tragedy in the death of an 85 year old man who lived a healthy, wonderful life, I know grief is unavoidable, waiting around unexpected corners. Today is for gratitude. We are grateful for Dad’s gentle demeanor and quiet strength. … We are grateful for his work ethic, leadership and faith.
