Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell<\/strong>‘s husband is opening up about her final moments.<\/p>\n Eldridge Toney<\/strong> privately tied the knot with Mama June Shannon<\/strong>‘s 29-year-old daughter in March, just months after she was diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal carcinoma in January. He was by her side throughout her entire cancer journey — including holding her hand when she took her last breath.<\/p>\n Recalling the painful memory in a candid interview with People<\/em> out on Friday, Eldrige said Anna’s whole family showed up to support her as her condition declined on Saturday. He explained:<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone was crying and freaking out, because we all knew what was happening. I did my best to be calm for her. I rubbed my hands through her hair, held her hand and told her it was going to be OK.\u201d<\/p>\n Remember, Anna had also allowed film cameras to be present so this gut-wrenching farewell could be captured for the upcoming season of Mama June: From Not to Hot<\/em>. We’re sure that made it even more difficult for those present.<\/p>\n Regardless of the cameras, her hubby stayed focused on her until the very end, he heartbreakingly added:<\/p>\n \u201cI was holding her hand when she took her final breath.\u201d<\/p>\n Oof. So sad!<\/p>\n We hope, at the very least, everyone being together and getting to say goodby offered the whole family some comfort in the deeply emotional moment.<\/p>\n As for how the widower plans to move on, he revealed he has made a commitment to Anna and her girls. Chickadee was mom to Kaitlyn<\/strong>, 11,\u00a0and Kylee<\/strong>, 8, from two previous relationships — and they’re set to be split apart as they go live with other guardians following her death. But Eldridge intends to stay in their lives, sharing:<\/p>\n \u201cThe day before she passed, we had our talk and said our goodbyes. Her dying wish was for her girls to grow up knowing who their mother was. And I promised I would do right by the girls always. I will spend my life doing right by Anna and the girls.\u201d<\/p>\n We’re so glad he’s going to keep his final promise — and that those little girls will have so many family members looking out for them. What an absolute tragedy to lose their momma at such a young age. We continue to send our thoughts and prayers to this entire family as they mourn.<\/p>\n
