(Newser) – TV psychologist Dr. Phil made a $600,000 donation to a charity set up by Casey Anthony's parents in return for an interview with them last year—and some of that money went to support her, according to an upcoming report in People. The full report, titled "The Strange Lonely Life of Casey Anthony," will be released Thursday to mark the anniversary of Anthony's acquittal on charges of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. And it also includes a detail about Caylee's ashes that might sound morbid to, well, most.

Anthony and her mother, Cindy, have reconciled, and now wear matching necklaces containing Caylee's ashes, the report says. "Casey told me it was the way the Anthony women would be together forever," a friend tells the magazine. Anthony has moved around Florida since her acquittal, and has now settled in West Palm Beach, where she spends most of her days online and has put on about 20 pounds, according to the People report. Anthony's parents' lawyer says the Caylee's Fund charity was dissolved last week, and the $100,000 left in it was distributed to three other foundations.

  Murderer or not we all need to heal. I think it was a very thoughtful gesture of her mom to gift her the necklace. Family is family you only have one. It took a long time for her mom to give it, the healing will not erase the scared life Casey lives. What strange is that the media acts like the cremation jewelry is some strange family creation. Cremation Jewelry is purchased and worn by thousands of Americans every year and is widely available at places like http://www.cremationsolutions.com/Cremation-Jewelry-for-Ashes-c4.html for people that are not comfortable wearing the ashes  of their loved one's close to their heart, fingerprint jewelry is also very popular. http://www.cremationsolutions.com/Fingerprint-Jewelry-c38.html

There is nothing wrong in wearing ashes in a necklace!  I have a necklace with some of Mom and Dad's ashes in it.  I had one made for each of my girls.  Not creepy at all.  Leave it to Newser to make something out of nothing.
