Following the shocking news of her daughter's death, Jane Carter released a statement noting how heartbroken she was by her daughter's passing. She also referenced the tragic loss of her other kids, Leslie and Aaron.
"I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean; and I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time. When I am able to think clearly, I'll release a fuller statement; but until then I would request to be left to grieve in private," Jane told TMZ at the time.
She added, "[H]owever deeply a parent feels the loss of a child, the suffering of a young child at the loss of a parent must be much greater. So, I would ask the sympathetic to say a prayer for my precious eight-year-old granddaughter Bella, who previously lost her father and is now also left without her mother."
Jane has now reportedly assumed the role of primary caretaker of her granddaughter, Bella.
Rest in peace, Bobbi Jean Carter.
