Anna Nicole Smith — One Year Later

By Gerry W. Beyer

Smith6Last Friday (February 8, 2008) was the first anniversary of the death of Anna Nicole Smith. 

According to Tosheena Robinson-Blair, Bahamas Remembers Anna Nicole Smith, AP, Feb. 9, 2008:

Anna Nicole Smith’s lawyer-turned-companion recalled her in worshipful terms Friday at a memorial in the Bahamas * * *.

Howard K. Stern, speaking to dozens of people gathered at the cemetery where Smith and her son are buried, said there was “nobody stronger, nobody smarter, nobody more compassionate, nobody funnier and certainly nobody more beautiful” than the former model and actress. * * *

Birkhead and Dannielynn attended the memorial service at the pink-walled Lakeview Memorial Gardens along with dozens of Smith’s friends from the United States and the Bahamas. * * *

An inquest to establish the formal cause of death has proceeded fitfully since it began last month because of efforts to bring witnesses from outside the Bahamas. It is scheduled to resume next month.
