Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jon Bon Jovi and his family for their tragic loss

Days before her birthday, Jon Bon Jovi’s mother Carol Bongiovi passed away.

She was dubbed a “force to be reckoned with” by the singer.

JON Three days prior to being eighty-three, Bon Jovi’s mother, Carol Bongiovi, passed away.

Jon, 62, spoke empathetically about Carol following her death on Tuesday at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, New Jersey.

Jon told PEOPLE, “Our mother was a force to be reckoned with; her spirit and can-do attitude shaped this family.”

“We will miss her terribly.”

Carol, a former Playboy bunny, founded the fan club for her son’s band.

She met her future husband, John Bongiovi, Sr., after she enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1959.

After relocating, they reared their children in Sayreville, New Jersey.

Following that, they relocated to Holmdel, New Jersey, where she lived until her passing.

It was reported that Holmdel Funeral Home will oversee Carol’s private funeral.

Her three children, Jon, Anthony, and Matthew, as well as her 63-year-old husband, will miss her.

Jon has previously stated that when he was a child and desired to be a musician, his parents provided him with “incredible support.”

In November 2020, he said, “Even if you weren’t good at your craft, you could work on it if you thought you were,” to The Big Issue.

“As I grew older, I realized how wonderful my parents’ gift to me was.

“They genuinely believed John F. Kennedy was directing them to travel to the moon.” “You can go to the moon, of course.” Just go, John. I visited that place.

The performer told about how his parents used to take him to concerts when he was seventeen.

When Jon was seventeen, his parents allowed him to perform at events, which allowed him to pursue his aspirations.

“They were always there for me, which was amazing looking back,” he remarked.

“Because I could have to be at school at eight o’clock and get home at one or two in the morning.”

“They just told me to go to school on time, you know that’s my responsibility, but follow your dreams.”

The girl Jon fell in love with in high school, Dorothea Hurley, is the wife he married.

Together, they are parents to three sons, Jesse, Jake, and Romeo, and a thirty-one-year-old daughter, Stephanie.

Model Jake wed Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown in a tiny, private ceremony in May 2024, according to the first story from The Sun.

The parents of Millie and Jon attended the little wedding.

He expressed his excitement for the wedding to The Sun the week prior.

“My grandchildren will have more English ancestry than Italian or any other heritage I may have” That must be absurd, right? The musician screamed.

“Your kids are married and talking to you about having grandchildren all of a sudden? Wow!” In my book, this is the longest chapter.

The mom who stabbed her baby to death is found dead in prison

Six years into her 17-year-long sentence for stabbing her baby with a pair of scissors, Rachel Tunstill dies in prison.

Back in 2017, she stabbed her baby girl, Mia Kelly, more than 15 times in the bathroom of their Burnley home and threw her lifeless body in a bin.

Tunstill was initially convicted of murder and handed a life sentence with minimum term of 20 years, but a re-trial proved the jury in the case should have been offered a verdict of infanticide to consider. During the re-trial she was once again convicted of murder and put behind bars for a minimum of 17 years.

At the time she gave birth, her boyfriend was playing video games in the next room. She then told him she had a miscarriage and asked for the scissors after which she remorselessly stabbed the baby to death.

At the time of sentencing, the judge, Mr Justice King, said: “This must have been a sustained and frenzied attack on a victim who because of her age was particularly vulnerable. Her duty to her newborn baby was to cradle and comfort her – not to stab her to death.

“There was here in my judgement concealment of the body, albeit short-lived and in addition there was undoubtedly the indignity which was wrought upon the body by disposing of it in the way she did.”

Tunstill was a university master’s graduate in forensic psychology.

“She showed no emotion or remorse for stabbing her baby to death,” said Mr Justice King.
