There, the 23-year-old shared several photos of Anna, including one from one of the final days of the beloved reality star.
In the snap, Anna flashed a wide smile, while sticking her tongue out to the camera.
She showed off her pair of too-long white pants and a green hoodie.
Anna flashed peace signs with her fingers while standing inside a room.
Her hair was noticeably shorter, though there was no clear indication when the photo was taken.

TRAGIC PASSING
Anna was diagnosed with Stage 4 adrenal carcinoma in January.
On December 9, June revealed the news that Anna had lost her cancer battle.
In July, June, 44, shared that her daughter's diagnosis was terminal.
Upon her death, June's husband Justin Stroud posted a photo on his Instagram to announce the death of his step-daughter.
The picture showed the whole family sitting on what appeared to be the set of the TLC show.
He captioned the post: "Please keep our family in your prayers as we lost one of our angels last night. She passed away last night in our home peacefully with the people that was important to her.
"Please be respectful and we will keep y’all updated with everything. We love you Anna Banana."
June used the same photo for her memorial post which read: "With the breaking heart, we are announcing that [Anna] is no longer with us. She passed away in my home last night peacefully at 11:12 PM.
"She gave one hell of a fight for 10 months she passed away with her family around her like she won’t and we will be updating y’all with more information as we get it today."
"We love y’all and continue prayers and thoughts for our family during this difficult time," she concluded.
BELOVED WIFE
Anna died surrounded by those she loved - including her new husband.
Before her tragic death, Anna secretly got married to her boyfriend Eldridge Toney.
Sources told TMZ that she expressed her desire to marry her partner back in January.
They also claimed that she wanted to have the wedding while she was "still feeling well enough to go through a ceremony."
According to an official marriage certificate obtained by TMZ, Anna and Eldridge said "I do" on March 4 in Wilkinson County, Georgia.
Anna was undergoing chemotherapy at the time of her wedding as she previously opened up about the process in the spring.
Sources revealed that the wedding included "close family and a camera crew recording footage" for the family's WeTV reality show.
