The siblings – and Mackenzie‘s close friend Cayla – posed for a group photo to show off their tattoos.
Mackenzie, 26, opted for “Phil 4:13” and a cross on her ribcage, while Zeke got “You are my sonshine” on his arm.
Cayla and Kaylee had Angie’s trademark phrase “Always be kind” inked on their wrists and Whitney got “a runner that I think looks like mom” inscribed on her ankle with the words “I’ll see you later”.
“They are all in Mom’s handwriting,” Whitney explained, while sharing a snap of their designs on Instagram.
Angie died of brain cancer in December 2019 aged 50, almost two years after she was diagnosed with the disease.
Mackenzie – who has three kids with husband Josh – got “Always be kind” tattooed onto her wrist in February 2018, soon after Angie got the cancer diagnosis.
The MTV star wrote at the time: “This is my mom’s message to the world. It’s what she lives by. She wrote this on a paper and we took it to a tattoo artist.
“Remind you not one of us had a tat yet, and got her writing on our arm. Such a lovely reminder to look at everyday. #alwaysbekind.”
Angie was diagnosed with brain cancer in January 2018 and just a few months later, the disease had spread to her lungs and bones.
She began chemotherapy in June of that year and seemed to be doing better, but the cancer returned.
She stopped chemo in August 2019 and revealed she had 10 tumors in her brain and other “tiny” tumors in her lungs. Angie died four months later.
Earlier this month, Mackenzie marked what would have been Angie’s birthday and explained that she’s “learning to remain strong”.
“You are missed every second of everyday momma. Jaxie and I love to sit on the beach (your favorite place) and wear your hats that still smell like the frankincense oil you loved,” the Teen Mom star wrote.
“I’m slowly learning how to remain strong like you taught me. I’ll see you again one day @angiedouthit.”
Back in January, she told In Touch Weekly of grieving her mom: “I literally was so low in life that I needed a change.
“There was no getting lower, it was so bad, so dark, that I couldn’t physically and mentally even get out of bed most days.

“And then I realized like I will lose everything I have, I will lose my children, my business, my friends, obviously my marriage.
“I had to take a step forward and put my best foot forward and walk and get off the medication and stop numbing myself and just do something. And I had to make a drastic change.”
Mackenzie moved to Florida with her three kids – Gannon, Jaxie and Broncs – and Josh joined them later.
