As strange as it is to admit now, I loved Anna Nicole Smith. A lot of shocking truth came out during that time following Anna Nicole's death, but she still made an impact on our generation.

One year ago Friday, Smith passed away in Hollywood, Florida of an accidental drug overdose. Ironically, that's why put gaysocialites.blog on the map!

Anna Nicole is survived by her estranged mother Virgie Arthur and lots of crazy rednecks in Texas. Shortly before Smith died, she gave birth to a little girl Dannielynn. Her son Daniel also died of an accidental overdose just days after Dannielynn was born.

Danielynn lives with her father Larry Birkhead who posted this message on his website in memory of Anna Nicole:

“I LOVE YOU AND HOPE YOU ARE PROUD OF OUR BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL. PLEASE WATCH OVER US AND GUIDE US ON OUR JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE. WE MISS YOU.

2-8-07

LOVE,

LARRY AND DANNIELYNN“
