Doomed supermodel ANNA NICOLE SMITH’s mother is now on her deathbed – and spending her sad final days desperately dreaming of seeing her granddaughter before she passes!

Virgie Arthur is battling a rare form of cancer, with her condition worsening, The National ENQUIRER has exclusively learned.

Now the Playboy Playmate’s mother is using her remaining strength to make a deathbed plea to visit Dannielynn one last time!

But the bizarre legacy of Anna Nicole continues to haunt 63-year-old Virgie – with Dannielynn’s father, Larry Birkhead, still bitter over her attempt to win custody of her granddaughter in a courtroom battle after the reality star’s suspicious overdose death in 2007.

“Virgie has been sick for a very long time.  Larry occasionally sent her photos, but hasn’t allowed visitation because there is a lot of bad blood with her,” a source close to photographer Larry confirmed to The ENQUIRER.

Virgie has been estranged from Dannielynn’s father ever since Anna Nicole was found lifeless in a hotel room due to a lethal mix of prescription drugs.

The grandmother fought for custody of the then-infant, but lost her bid after a DNA test confirmed Larry was the girl’s biological father – and he swore he would never share custody with Anna Nicole’s family.

Sadly, Anna Nicole’s dad, Donald Hogan, died of lung cancer in 2009 and also was unable to see Dannielynn, now 8 years old.

A family friend told The ENQUIRER that Virgie is currently in the hospital and has been in and out of a doctor’s care since being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an incurable cancer that affects blood cells in the bone marrow.

“It’s day by day,” claimed the source. “The minute they release her, she goes back in.”

But despite the odds, the family of the blonde bombshell is still hoping Larry will have a change of heart – even as Virgie struggles to cling to life.

Said the insider: “It would be wonderful, but so far nothing has happened.

“Dannielynn’s growing up and will want to know about her her mama’s family – and if you just pray to God, it’ll all work out.”
