Afterwards, Elfird said that with Stroud’s help, Mama June Shannon was able to focus on being a mother and spending time with Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell during her final days. “Because she’s not blood, it was a lot more surprising how she actually stepped up,” Efird explained. “AND [showed us] What a good person he is.”
Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson agreed with her sister and said Stroud was a great help. “I mean, it’s not even blood, but he was doing everything,” she declared.
