just wanted her to Know. She was the best and will be missed and every rude person that had something to say now regrets it. she was all of us, she was the best of us and shes was loved and always will be by all of us.
Anna Nicole waht a woman and what a life. people are right she was just like us the best and the worst she is human and now gone. I am grieving for her as well as for her son and her mother and Larry Birkhead even, Howrad on some level I believed he loved her but did not ge t the love he wanted back. Sorry Howard she Loved Larry and made Dannielynn with him they may of had a disagreement but there is no reason for custody to still be with Howard Dannielynn needs to go home to Larry Birkhead her real father. All these other men need to be quiet and stay out of it Larry is the father and we dont need to hear how many people she let into her world. Let her rest in peace now.
