“Anna’s a lady who worked with Gary for about eight years from about ’97 or 98 to about 2005 or 2006,” he said.

The couple became more than just friends, but when Coleman met Price things changed drastically.

“Shannon came on the picture and that just didn’t mix well and Anna didn’t want any part of it,” he added.
“She indicated to me she felt uncomfortable making Gary uncomfortable because Shannon was making Gary make a choice, make a decision and Anna just respectfully said "I don’t want to do this to you, Gary. I’ll always be your friend, but I’m going to move on.’"

Gray was named executor of a will signed in 2005 ‹ a will that Kester thinks will be determined as Coleman’s valid will.
Price has a handwritten codicil from 2007.
Coleman had told Gray that he put her in his will, but she had never seen it until he died.
“Anna was surprised when she found out that Gary had named her as the executor and as a partial beneficiary in that will,” Kester said.
“When she first found out about it she was emotionally overwhelmed. I think it struck her right in her heart and she had a hard time reacting to it.

“I really truly believe that the 2005 will that Gary signed appointing Anna as the executor and a partial beneficiary giving his railroads to other people, I think that will is going to prevail.
“I think Shannon is going to have a really hard time of proving her case of common law marriage.”
Although the couple divorced in 2008, Coleman and Price were living together and they were planning to re-marry.

John Branca and John McClain have been named special administrators of Michael Jackson's estate. The ruling by a judge on Monday lasts until August 3. Katherine Jackson's lawyer contended a conflict of interest exists with Branca, who he says has business interests entwined with Jackson. But the judge ruled that Branca, and McClain, who are executors of Jackson's estate, should also be special administrators and a bond was set at $1 million to protect the estate from mismanagement of assets.
Jackson's will was dated 2002 and no other will has surfaced so far.

Howard Weitzman, attorney for Branca and McClain said: "We believe Judge(Mitchell) Beckloff made the correct decision. We intend to carry out the wishes Michael Jackson set forth. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jackson family this week in remembering Michael as a beloved father, son and brother, and as the world honors his remarkable legacy as an artist."
