Florida Circuit Court Judge Larry Seidlin ruled Thursday that Richard Milstein, the court-appointed guardian of Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter Dannielynn, will get custody of Smith’s remains.
Judge Seidlin also said that he’d like Anna Nicole Smith to be buried in the Bahamas next to her son, Daniel Smith, who died last year.
“I want her buried with her son,” a tearful Seidlin said when announcing his ruling. “I want her buried with her son in the Bahamas. I want them to be together.”
All three parties: Anna’s companion, Howard Stern, ex boyfriend, Larry Birkhead & Anna’s mother Virgie Arthur had been fighting to determine where Smith’s body should be buried. Stern said he wanted to carry out Smith’s wish to be laid to rest next to her son in the Bahamas. Arthur claimed next-of-kin status and wanted the body to be put in a family plot in Texas. Birkhead, who aligned himself with Arthur, testified that Smith wanted to buried in California near Marilyn Monroe.
Judge Seidlin also encouraged all the participants to resolve the ongoing paternity battle. “Submit to DNA (testing),” he urged. “Enough baloney.”
I totally think it’s a great ruling. Anna Nicole should be buried next to her son, Daniel. May them both rest in peace!
