She wrote on Instagram: "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! (sic)"

"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! (sic)"
June, 44, wrote on Instagram alongside a family photo: "With the breaking heart, we are announcing that @annamarie35 is no longer with us. She passed away in my home last night peacefully at 11:12 PM.
"She gave one hell of a fight for 10 months she passed away with her family around her like she won’t and we will will be updating y’all with more information as we get it today."
The news came just two days after June asked fans for "thoughts and prayers".
