Losing one sibling is heart-wrenching enough. Angel Carter Conrad is now burying her third. Not long after the news of Bobbie Jean Carter’s death went public, Conrad wrote a touching tribute on Instagram, featuring childhood photos of her older sister. “You had a great sense of humor, and a lively spirit. Growing up, I was your baby, and you were my best friend. Life wasn’t fair to you, that I know. Sometimes, it feels like you didn’t have a shot, no matter what.”
Conrad went on to explain that children who are exposed to trauma at a young age are at risk for issues such as drug abuse. “I know why Leslie, Aaron, and now you ended up in the circumstances that you did,” she said. “I share that pain we experienced during our childhood and I’m sorry you didn’t have an opportunity for a better life.” After urging fans to break the silence surrounding mental health, Carter concluded, “I love you BJ, you’re free now.”

Thousands of fans offered their condolences. “The saddest part is that you and Nick were left with no choice but to distance yourselves from her and were not in contact for a few years prior to her sudden passing,” one said. “I just wish you had a chance to hug her, kiss her, and tell her how much you love her before she passed!”
