Rest in Peace

Today marks the death of a woman born in Houston, Texas named Vickie Lynn Hogan, otherwise known as Anna Nicole Smith.

The guys I went to school with lusted after her, the girls wanted to look like her in their Guess jeans. Anna Nicole, a girl who had looks to kill for and a child-like disposition... she had money, fame and beauty, yet with all of these resources she remained a child forever lost. Tragedy was an overwhelming component in her life and it finally stole that from her as well. She leaves behind her infant daughter, who will grow up without her mother or brother, as a cash prize to be fought over (I'm talking to you, Stern and Birkhead).

Are there lessons to be learned? Certainly. Be careful what you wish for. Always surround yourself with the support of people who genuinely love and care for you. And there's no shame in seeking help. Rest in Peace Vickie Lynn Hogan.
