    This is so sad. I'm so sorry to hear all that she went through. So many women were raped without ever getting the help they needed and resulted in a life of difficult situations. Prayers for her peace in the afterlife

    I would never forget her rendition of "back in the high life again" she dedicated that song to her late brother that had passed earlier, it was such an emotional dedication she was a terrific artist may God bless her soul.

    Its heart breaking that she went through so much hardship and that she wasn't given the real support she would have needed, Nell Carter was a talented actress I use to love watching her on the hit show Gimme A Break, had she still been around I felt she would have been on to so many great things because she sort help for her problems, Nell your presence made an impact you can smile because your name is a household word God bless you, you are missed.
