Dear Mrs Jackson:

Words can not express what Michael meant to not only us but people from around the world but I will try.  Janet didn't quite cover some of us when she said "Icon to you and family to us".   No he was not my flesh and blood but it hurts none the less.

I first saw Mike on the Ed Sullivan Show when I was about 15 yrs old.  For me he will forever be that cute as a button little boy in the purple superfly hat, dimpled and perfect afro........ somebody's child.  And oh what a wonderful addition to your family (your baby).  I followed him and watched and was thrilled at his accomplishments and I hurt when people hurt him.  No I didn't know him but I felt his humanity, his drive, his kindness, his innocence.   I understood him.

God bless you for lending him to us.  May  Jehovah give him the peace the world never did.  He gave the world so much.

For Micheal's Mom,

I've loved you since I've known of you, and the kind of woman you are.  You reminded me of the women in my family.  You have done something extraordinary...you had an angel.  People with the kind of heart Michael had do not come along everyday.  You know them when you see them.  Loosing a child is the most painful thing parents can go through.  So I pray that your pain can be eased, and you can have peace.

All My Love,
Mimi Neiro

My deepest  condolences to the  family.....

We have not only lost a pop icon, a star, or a dancer, we have lost a house hold name, a loved one, a family member.
Micheal will never be forgotten and will for ever live in our hearts and souls.  I am very thankful to enjoy him for the 28 years I have seen him perform and mezmorize  audiences abroad.  You have done a wonderful job raising such a fine King.

Dear Mrs. Jackson,

Your son Michael was literally the soundtrack of my life. I grew up on his music, and each era of his recording career marked a special time in my life for as long as I can remember. To me, losing the King of Pop was like losing a family member. We have had two tributes to Michael at my club....but it would take a month to play every song he has ever sang on. That plethora of music he has left behind will allow him to always live in our hearts. He was and is truly one of a kind. God bless you and the entire Jackson Family.

Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Jackson:

There is no greater loss than for a mother to lose a child. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers for this time to be one of reflection on all the good times, proud times, quiet times, and loving times you spent with your son. He will live forever in your heart and mind. May you find peace in all the wonderful things Michael has left behind.
