As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother."

Together, they had two children, True and Lillie Parker.

After the pair called it quits, Alley never married again.

“You will be missed.

With love, Parker.”

“Both of us were married,” she gushed.

“We did not have an affair.

But again, I think what I did was worse.

It’s doubly bad.”

Alley chose to stay with Parker, but the pair eventually called it quits in the late 90s.

Many of Kirstie Alley’s celebrity colleagues shared personal messages after learning of her sudden death (viaPeople).

Her “Cheers” co-stars were the first to extend sweet statements.

Ted Danson shared, “I was on a plane today and did something I rarely do.

I watched an old episode of ‘Cheers.’

He continued, “Kirstie was truly brilliant in it.

Her ability to play a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown was both moving and hysterically funny.

As I got off the plane, I heard that Kirstie had died.

I am so sad and so grateful for all the times she made me laugh.

I send my love to her children.

As they well know, their mother had a heart of gold.

I will miss her.”
