"God has all the faith, has all the cards, but Anna is still with us," June shared, adding: "But as we are going through this transition, we are asking, still, for continued prayers for Anna, continued prayer for the family, for your thoughts, your appreciation – and we see all your messages even though we're not responding back to y'all."
Mom-of-four June then said this would be her "last message", concluding: "When that time does come, we will also, as a family, come to y'all on social media because Anna would not have it any [expletive] other way, but we love you guys and continue to pray… We're spending this time as a family and enjoying our moments and making memories."
