“She said, ‘Okay, I’m just not coming back and I want to do home health hospice,’ and they finally signed off,” June explained. “We tried to for a long time before that.”
In January, June and her husband Justin Stroud were granted temporary custody of Kaitlyn, who she said moved in with her a month before Anna died and that she’s been caring for her since.
“I tell Kaitlyn all the time, ‘I’ll never replace your mother,'” she told E! News. “I say this all the time, but Kylee shouldn’t have to be raised by Kylee’s dad. I shouldn’t be raising Kaitlyn. Anna should be here raising her children. It’s not fair for any of us that Anna’s gone, especially for her children.”
