Hometown Memorial Planned For Michael Jackson
Posted on Wed Jul 1, 2009 09:05 AM PDT
Michael Jackson's hometown of Gary, Indiana, is asking the family to send him there, according to a spokesperson for the mayor. CNN reports that Mayor Rudy Clay has been in contact with the Jackson family, and he told the Chicago radio station WGN that he expects that Jackson's body will be taken to Gary for a memorial service he is planning next week.
"I believe that his body will lie in state in Gary, Indiana," Clay said yesterday. "Now, it may not happen, but I believe it will." It would be "a memorial that's fit for the prince of peace and a memorial that's fit for Gary, Indiana's favorite son, the greatest entertainer that ever lived," Clay added.
The Jackson memorial service is set for July 10 at U.S. Steel Works ballpark in Gary, and if any of this actually goes through, a burial site for the singer could be near a proposed Jackson family museum and a performing arts center.
Spokeswoman Lalosa Burns said, "The mayor had spoken with a contact of the Jackson family and expressed our interest in having that to be a part of the history of this great family. We have not received confirmation on that." Jackson's father, Joe, visited the city last year and talked with Clay about a Jackson museum, Burns said.
Think the Jackson family will actually agree to this?
Or is this not likely to happen?

Just another dead junkie. Enough with the coverage already.
Sooo...... The World Tour is back on, only with a dead body instead of a live one?
I HOPE YOU INSENSITIVE JERKS BURN IN HELL!
Long live MJ! The KING OF POP will reign forever...
What's the matter guys, you jealous because even in death this man has more women throwing themselves at him then you'll have in your pathetic lifetime. People like you make me sick. Your comments show a total lack of respect for your fellow man and people like you are the reason that our world is at war and our nation is falling apart. It also shows that you couldn't have had much home training or you would respect the dead and the family as they mourn. That's ok though. You go right ahead and stand in judgement of this fallen man because you too will be judged someday. God Bless the Jackson family and R.I.P Michael you were a true human being.
What are you doing on this page if you don't like all the coverage? Get the hell off of it! I would not be throwing stones either, they may come back to jack you in the face, what goes around comes around, remember that.

You two people are the most ignorant people, you don't ever know when its your time, and yes he was the king of pop when he was living and he will still be the KING while in heaven. So if you don't like the attention he is getting then that is to damn bad. I see you are a bunch of low lifes that does not have anything going for yourselves so go to !!!!!!!!
