Anna would DEFINITELY want you to be clean for this occassion.
I heard yesterday that they will all be given red and pink roses to place on the coffin...red for Daniel, pink for Anna...
I think I'll put make-up on to for the occasion....
Just reported that Virgie WAS holding back...didn't proceed to the church....was waiting for the judgement. They denied it, so funeral will proceed. Wheeling coffin into church. Looks pretty. Pale pink delicate looking cover over coffin.
Stop it making laugh so hard old incisions are hurting.
I got get a nap ya'll shift 2 is coming up I will check in this afternoon.
Keep the humor going.
Lord let Anna hit dirt today.
Prayers up.
But we knew he would..

They already said Howard would be giving out a red rose and a pink rose to each at the gravesite to put them on the coffin. Red for Daniel and pink for Anna.
It's what she wanted.
....but shaving my legs is going just too far!
Really. Everybody keeps referring to it as PROOF of her wishes! Unreal!
Especially since she used her mom as a babysitter for 6 years after that, lol.
Very very good catch!
I can speak for Anna that that would be ok with her. She was a woman after all.
I can't believe Millstein has allowed cameras in the church...unless all agreed to it, Virgie, Stern, Birkhead.
Guess I need to go back to work now. With all this reporting, I feel a little like the shameful media...
Was the original intent of that throw a streight jacket?
ET did - they already said that themselves - also paid to be under the Big Top - the tent, that is.
Lucky customer 20,000 on the most pointless thread in FR history. Congraduations, I suppose.
Anna's funeral today
By INDERIA SAUNDERS, Guardian Staff Reporter
An invitation-only funeral service for Anna Nicole Smith will be held today at the Mount Horeb Baptist Cathedral (MHBC) in Sandyport around 10.30 am for around 300 guests, The Guardian has learned.
Reverend Lloyd Smith from MHBC will officiate at the service that will include performances by the creme de la creme of Bahamian entertainment like King Eric and his Knights including Jay Mitchell and US country singer Joe Nichols, sources preparing for the funeral said.
Although 300 people will attend the church service, 100 guests of her companion, Howard K Stern, 100 guests of her mother, Virgie Arthur, and 100 guests of the man who claims to be her baby's father, Larry Birkhead, the source said only 30 people will be allowed at the graveside at Lakeview Memorial Gardens & Mausoleums, ten from each group.
The body of the late former Playboy playmate was flown in from Florida early this morning for burial and will be prepared by the East Sunrise Mortuary on Rosetta Street, a funeral home employee told The Nassau Guardian yesterday. However, up to yesterday the funeral home had not received any directions on what needed to be done once they received the body.
The church will be heavily guarded by the International Body Guards Security Company, a private body guard service that has guarded other top celebrities like Michael Bolton, Pattie Labelle and Boys II Men. However, the Royal Bahamas Police Force (RBPF) is also expected to be out in full force, implementing some security measures at the church and at the graveside and will be conducting a press conference at 9.00 am today. Persons attending the service will not be allowed to enter the church with any electronic items like a camera or recorder as bodyguards in regulated searches will confiscate the items until after the ceremony, an inside source explained.
The informant also said that it was highly unlikely that the body will be at the church service and that her body will probably be brought straight to the graveside, but the Guardian was unable to confirm that with another source up to press time last night.
The funeral service will not be "a traditional one" in that there will not be a choir singing, but instead there will be artists performing, said the source. The band is set to play six old funeral favorites like "Precious Lord" and "Amazing Grace" at the church that, according to media reports, will be decorated in pink flowers.
At the graveside yesterday, a street sweeper was observed cleaning the normally dusty roads and a green tent was draped over where some suspect the body will be buried, in a plot that was dug up days in advance.
Ms. Smith's burial comes nearly three weeks to the day since the her death while on a brief trip to Florida. Since then, a legal wrangle ensued in the courts over where she should be buried. Her mother Ms Arthur wanted her buried in Texas, while Mr Stern wanted to bury her at the Lakeview cemetery, next to her son Daniel, who died in the capital September 10, 2006.
When asked if the Lynden Pindling International Airport was experiencing an influx of persons arriving in Nassau, the Airport General Manager, Mervin Hutchinson, said yesterday that he had not noticed a significant increase in the number of arrivals who may have been coming for the funeral, and that there were no additional flights needed so far.
