Honey Boo Boo & Sisters Pay Tribute To Late Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell: ‘Fly High Sweet Angel’

Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson is remembering her late sister.

The 18-year-old took to Instagram on Sunday to share a poignant message about her sister, Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell, after Mama June Shannon revealed she passed away from stage 4 adrenal carcinoma on Saturday night. She started off her tribute:

“This is one post I wish I didn’t have to make Last night we all surrounded Anna with love & let her know it was okay to go. Unfortunately around 11pm Anna took her last breathe [sic]. Anna was in so much pain last night but now as a family we all know she is at peace now.”

She continued:

“I really don’t know what to say as my heart is completely broken. Watching my 29 year old sister this last year battle this horrible disease hasn’t been easy. Anna was a fighter & still is. Lord please wrap your arms around her 2 babies & our family as the next couple of days will make this all a reality”

Anna shared 11-year-old Kaitlyn Elizabeth with ex Caleb Clark, and Kylee Madison, 8, with Michael Cardwell. This must be so incredibly difficult for them.

The reality star added:

“I’m so glad that you waited til i was home to take your last breath! I would’ve loved for you to get to see me graduate college but i know you will forever cheer me on in heaven! We will all make sure your legacy lives on forever. And i promise to always make sure to celebrate our birthday like you never left! The sky looks a little bit different today. We will always love you Anna You hit me hard with his one Anna but i know your in a better place now and pain free forever!”
