DEATH OF A HUMAN BEING

Anna Nicole Smith, the human being, has died. Her gaudy public behavior, or the cause of her death, “natural” or otherwise, doesn‘t negate the fact that she was a mother’s daughter and a baby’s mother, and her death at such a young age was a tragic loss. The media circus and rumor frenzy is about TV ratings and selling tabloids, not someone’s humanity.

No, I do not approve of what I know of Smith’s lifestyle. But I do approve Anna Nicole giving birth to her child, when so many would have done otherwise. May she rest in peace.
