Jane was also referring to the deaths of Aaron, who passed away at the age of 34 in November 2022, and Leslie Carter, who died at the age of 25 in January 2012.
"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," the grieving mother continued. "[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."
According to sources close to the Carters, the family believes that Bobbie Jean died after going into cardiac arrest. However, further details regarding the events leading up to her death remain unclear.
