		<description> First I pay my respect to God,I send my condolences to the Jackson family, especially his parents and the children. Michael&#039;s talent is a one and only,may your soul rest in peace,God took you home;your work here is done;you loved you gave happiness and songs with deep deep thought,we all are blessed by your talents and your gifts to the unfortunate. I know what it is to have a child that is not naturally yours,it makes no difference a child&#039;s heart is &quot;pure&quot; and the love you feel for them is unconditional and rewarding,no one can take that away from them....no one.I too suffer from LUPUS and it&#039;s a very debilitating condition ,you&#039;re constantly in pain,rashes appear and your hair falls out,I just wish you had better gate keepers to have your back.God will take care of all your pain and sorrow.....I love you,you gave us all joy in your wonderful talents.God will also take care of the children, we are weak but He is very strong. Rest my gentle brother, I will pray for your family constantly, that&#039;s my word,love &amp; peace to the family...joy comes in the morning, you&#039;ve earned your wings continue to soar. </description>

		<description> I am very sorry that this had to happen to a sweet and dear sole like Michael  Jackson. I fell in love with the whole family. Especially with Michael  with the song &quot;Ben&quot; and also the movie &quot;Ben&quot;. I grew up with the family. I am the same age as his brother Jermaine. All of his recordings  are so touching and the love songs are heart felt you could just melt just by listening to them. I love you dearly Michael, may your soul rest in peace. I pray that your Mother, brother, sisters, and children will see and read my condolences.         Love always  Mrs. Brighton, Tennessee. </description>

		<description> I was 19 when Elvis died and I can not help but see the similarities. I have listened to all the talk about final resting places and I can&#039;t help but think it would be such a fitting tribute to turn Neverland into a museum and living memorial to MJ. Reopen it as a fun park again for under privelaged children. Make it what MJ wanted it to be as well as a place for fans to go and share in his life. My heart aches for thte family and the children. Such talent can be a curse because you belong to so many and are controled by so many outside forces. He seemed so tender hearted and so misunderstood. As far as a resting place maybe not in Neverland .Let it be about Life! God Bless to MJ&#039;s family and their decsion. </description>

		<description> I haven&#039;t been able to shed one physical tear yet. But man my heart is crying out for you. I will remember you forever Mike. Hopefully you made it to heaven and are no longer the best act in the room. R.I.P </description>

		<description> The sound of feet in shoes walking toward the light, the glint of something shiny. sudenly the image of a young man wearing a fadora and short pants, one white glove and a glitter jacket, white glitter socks and black loafers is now standing in the spotlight. the music starts to play, he begins to move to the beat of the song playing.. suddenly he starts to sing while moving on beat... thrilling everyone in the room watching, before you know it he is spinning and moving as if he is floating on air, then he does something no one has ever seen before.. he walks forward but is being pulled backword all at the same time... The moonwalk... the crowd goes wild at the sight of this youngman moving as if gravity and time do not matter. He spins again glides then comes to a full stop, one gloved hand raised in the air, the glitter of the glove catched your attention... he slowly bows and then smoothely walks off stage as if nothing ever happened... 
They  call him the Gloved One, The moonwalker, The king of Pop... but we all call him Michael... because to us that is who he is... 

A man catapolted on stage with pyrotechnics shooting off behind him, he is wearing a white dress shirt opened, with a white V-neck Tshirt and black pants with a white stripe down the side, he lands and starts to dance... moving in a way that has everyone captivated. Every song out does the last one no one can deny that he is still the THRILLER.

A man whose form is very much the same, walks on stage, his face and coloring are not the same. He  has changed. the press calls him Wacko for many reasons none that are an excuse for name calling... none the less he is pegged Wacko. The name hurts him.. the press doesnt care.

A man stands accused of a heinous crime.. the evidence is strong against him. He refutes the claimes and says to &quot;please give him his day in court.&quot; That day comes but it takes two years to end with him being found NOT GUILTY by a joury of 12 on all 14 counts... Still the press and the heartless call him a childmolester... Even though he is found innocent.... 
He fades away into darkness... moves away from his beloved home and stays on forgen soil... When he goes out he is in disguises just so no one can get a picture of his face, he even hides his childrens faces to protect their identity. 

A man comes back to the U.S.A announces he will be going on tour once again, he calls this tour the THIS IS IT tour. He practices every night and is in fine form, Dancing and singing as if he were 20 or 30 again. But with in 24 hours of his last practice where he was in fine health,,, he drops to the ground and dies infront of one of his sons. His heart stops... they cant recessitate him. They get him to Ceders in L.A... but all the work the doctors and staff do only goes to waist as his body is already dead... 

The world mourns......... ( Fade To Black )

The Funeral... The private family funeral is dignified all family members in black. No spectators just helecopters. The public memorial... dignified as everyone present behaves in a monor not seen at any public gathering involving celebrity. The family walks in... the crown politely claps, the singers start to sing as a gold casket with beautiful red roses is wheeled in... the crowd stands up in respect... they move the casket infront of centerstage... every singer every presenter has either a wonderful story to tell or just a little thank you to give.... The mourning mother in the audience is given respect from every performer and one goes over and tenderly kisses her on the hand... as he knows she has lost her gifted son.

Presentations are done and video montages are played not a dry eye in the house, even the press is crying... then the family assembols on stage, one brother give us a story of how he recognized this youngman in a store even though he was in a disguise.. what gave him away he asked his brother... THOSE SHOES!!! 

A little girl asks to speak.. she moves up to the ??? and says &quot; Daddy was the best Father EVER, I love you.....&quot; Not a dry eye in the house everyone is broken to tears that wont stop...

Michael J. Jackson, The King Of Pop... passed away June 25th 2009.. and was memorialized on July 7th 2009... with very loving memories and  loving tributes... We will all miss the King of Pop and we will never see the likes of him ever again... The stage has grown dark and everyone has left... but there is one spotlight shining on center stage,,,, one Microphone stands alone.... but there is no sound.... all is now silent as the music has died away.... </description>
