Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson is remembering her late sister, Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell.

On Monday, the reality star, 18, shared a heartbreaking TikTok video that featured photos of Cardwell and their family as a rendition of Benson Boone's "In The Stars" played in the background.

Before the photos appeared, a black screen shared a line from the song's lyrics: "I don't wanna say goodbye 'cause this one means forever." Thompson added in the caption, "How am I even going to celebrate our birthday now 🥺🥺🥺💔."

Fans of the Toddlers & Tiaras and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo stars first learned of Cardwell's death at age 29 through an Instagram post from their mom, Mama June Shannon, on Sunday.

"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," Shannon, 44, wrote next to a family photograph. The family matriarch noted that Cardwell "passed away with her family around her" and thanked fans for their "continued prayers and thoughts."

Apart from Cardwell and Thompson, Shannon is a mom to Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon, 27, and Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efrid, 23. Cardwell was also a mom to two daughters — Kaitlyn Elizabeth, 11, and Kylee Madison, 8. Her death comes months after she was diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal carcinoma.

In an Instagram post on Friday, Shannon asked her followers to keep her family in their thoughts and included the hashtag #cancersucks. Efrid shared the heartfelt plea on her Instagram Story, adding, "Say a prayer for our family."
