Following Jane's confirmation of her daughter's death, Aaron's twin sister Angel took to Instagram on Sunday to pay tribute to Bobbie Jean.

"To my older sister Bobbie. You had a great sense of humor, and a lively spirit. Growing up, I was your baby, and you were my best friend," Angel began the heartfelt caption. "Life wasn’t fair to you, that I know. Sometimes, it feels like you didn’t have a shot, no matter what."

"Experiencing innocence instead of being burdened by trauma, pain, and suffering is incredibly important for children, particularly at such a young age. I know why Leslie, Aaron, and now you ended up in the circumstances that you did. I share that pain we experienced during our childhood and I’m sorry you didn’t have an opportunity for a better life."

"I love you BJ, you’re free now," Angel concluded the tribute post.
