BAKERSFIELD, CA - Loved ones are mourning the loss of a six-year-old girl and her mother, both killed in a car crash on Highway 99 in Bakersfield Friday night. A 10-year-old girl who survived remains in critical condition.

Those who knew Jamie Robertson say she was a loving mother and a woman of God. As they come to grips with the loss of a dear friend, loved ones gathered to raise money to lay her and her daughter to rest.

"We came south on the 99 and that's when I saw our car underneath the diesel, my daughter and Jamie," said Jonathan Robertson.

It's been three days since Jonathan Robertson lost his wife, Jaime, and her six-year-old daughter in a fatal car crash on Highway 99.

CHP officers say Robertson was with her daughters, Paisley Myall and Callie Grover, Friday night when she entered southbound Highway 99 from Rosedale Highway, lost control and swerved into the path of a big rig. Officers say the driver of the big rig tried to avoid the car but couldn't, killing Robertson and Myall.

Grover remains at Children's Hospital in Madera, fighting for her life.

"Neither one of them should've been taken. You never expect that to happen to your children. There's comfort that she and Paisley are in heaven," Robertson's stepmother Gayle Rogers said.

"I couldn't ask for a better sister. She was my best friend. She was a loving mother. Her kids were her whole world. That's all she ever wanted to do was be a mom," Robertson's brother John Rogers said.

Robertson's family says they're hoping for a miracle that little Callie overcomes her injuries.

A car wash was held Monday to raise money for funeral expenses, but it was also a time to remember the loving mother of eight and a child gone too soon.

"She loved. She loved hard. She loved strong. She loved passionately, and she was one of the best women I've ever had the honor of being a part of her life," said close friend Michelle Stansbury.

There is an account set up to collect donations for funeral expenses for Robertson and her daughter Paisley.
