He told the US Sun that Alison was a “highly intelligent, warm and sensitive person” despite her “tough exterior.”

He also told the Times Union that he “knew [the end] was coming” since “there were signs that she couldn’t go any further.”

The “Obsessed” singer, 55, confirmed their deaths Monday, saying her “heart [was] broken” by the tragedies.
“I’ve lost my mother this past weekend,” the Grammy winner said in a statement. “Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day.
“I feel blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed,” Mariah added. “I appreciate everyone’s love and support and respect for my privacy during this impossible time.”

Mariah detailed her relationship with Patricia, who was also the mother of 64-year-old son Morgan Carey, in her 2020 memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey.”
Although their connection was “a prickly rope of pride, pain, shame, gratitude, jealousy, admiration and disappointment,” the songwriter dedicated the book to her mother.
“I will love you the best I can, always,” she wrote to the former opera singer after telling readers that Patricia “did the best she could.”

While it is unclear whether Alison’s case was resolved, Morgan’s remains active, according to “Today.”
Their dad, Alfred Roy Carey, died from cancer in 2002 at age 72.
Mariah honored him on Father’s Day in 2023 via Instagram, also telling her followers the previous year that she had “lovingly restored” his old car.
