In a People interview published July 4, 2024, June “Mama June” Shannon and her daughters spoke about their family bond after Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell’s death. Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird described the family as “dysfunctional” but said they had long relied on one another: “we are all we have left.” Yahoo published its syndicated report on July 5, 2024, so this is a 2024 interview, not a new statement.
What Pumpkin meant by “we are all we have left”
In the interview as reproduced by Yahoo, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird said: “We are dysfunctional. But we were saying earlier too though, it is always kind of just been us. So regardless of all the hardships and the arguing and all that stuff, we are all we have left.” The line presents the family’s connection as hard-won: Pumpkin acknowledged conflict while describing the support they continue to find in one another.

How the family described remembering Anna
The report says June spoke about family members staying connected through relationship changes and about jewelry and other keepsakes as ways of carrying Anna’s memory. Those details reflect what June said in that interview, rather than a claim about the family’s current routines.
June also recounted a saying from her husband, Justin Stroud: “This is Justin’s favorite saying, ‘I’ve never seen a family like this.’” In the report, June is the speaker and attributes the inner quotation to Justin.

Anna’s daughters and the wider family story
Anna Cardwell, June’s eldest daughter, died in December 2023 at age 29 following a cancer battle, according to entertainment reporting. The 2024 interview discussed Anna’s daughters, Kaitlyn and Kylee, and their adjustment after her death. Any descriptions of custody or living arrangements in that story are specific to its publication date and should not be read as an account of their present legal or household circumstances.
The family’s television story has also included Anna’s memory and a custody storyline involving Kaitlyn. WeTV’s official season-seven listings describe episodes featuring June’s custody case and Alana’s tribute to Anna; those are the network’s promotional episode summaries, not independent confirmation of private family or legal details.
