She revealed that they were grateful for her, and everybody’s prayers and thoughts. The Today correspondent added that she knew the world was better because Bush was in it.

Former President George H.W. Bush was said to be by her side, along with other members of the family. Hager said that the fact that her grandparents were together in this and that he still said, ‘I love you Barbie’ every night was remarkable.

The two have been together for 73 years. Both have been struggling from ill-health for the past couple of years but have always managed to pull through.

Guthrie called Hager "remarkable" for sharing her feelings despite the tough time she and her family was going through. Kotb posted on Twitter after the news broke that she was praying for the Bush family.

The two grandparents have been husband and wife since 1945.
