I am a newbie to FR but read the blogs daily.
I have been exchanging emails, etc. w/ Larry & his family via MySpace.
I have spoken to Judy Birkhead via telephone as well.
Due to the overwhelming response of the media & internet of the Anna saga they are no longer answering individual emails from the public but do post blogs for public viewing.
One of which I wanted to share w/ Freepers.
The Birkhead’s are a really nice & loving family & ask for people to keep them in their prayers.
Here is a NEW blog from Larry’s sister Angela:

Subject FROM LARRYS SISTER THIS IS A MUST READ!!!!
Body: HERE IS A MESSAGE FROM LARRYS SISTER................
I would like to thank all of the people who have supported my brother and our family. I am amazed by the support and love that has been sent to our family. It is so heart felt and appreciated in every way. However, for every good loving person out there, there is one greedy, unethical person waiting to make a name for themselves. I am very disturbed by some of the headlines and statements that have been published. I wish that the people who are creating these lies about my brother would stop and think about the things they say and how they hurt those involved. As adults, we brush this off because we undertand that there are sick people inthis world. But we have children, children that love their uncle Larry. These children go thru the check out line in the grocery store and can read these hideous rumors and lies that swarm the headlines of trash magazines. It is hard to explain to small children that these statements are false and have no merit. The tabloids that print this nonsense are as responsible as the person(s) who choose to sell the lies. I would like to take the time to ask you as supporters not to purchase these magazines even out of curiosity for what they have to say. Eventually if they can not sell the trash - they will stop printing it. They only print what sells.
I appreciate your help in supporting me on this matter.
Sincerely,
Angela Birkhead Johnson
Wow..how were you able to speak with Judy Birkhead?!?!?
Hi there, and welcome to Free Republic :)
Your input is very much appreciated. Angela brings up a good point about the trash tabloids, one that I’ve held for years. Those lurid headlines do hurt people.
