Posted on Tue Jul 7, 2009 12:30 PM PDT
LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - The life of Michael Jackson was celebrated with a two-hour long public memorial on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Jackson's body was driven to Staples Center following a private funeral at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in a procession that included several black Range Rovers and Roll Royces and a police escort.
Inside Staples Center, mourners including Smokey Robinson, Jennifer Hudson, Brooke Shields, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and John Mayer paid tribute to the King of Pop.
Jackson's children were seated in the front row. Jackson's daughter Paris clung tightly to Katherine Jackson throughout the ceremony before speaking.
"Daddy has been the best father you can ever imagine and I just want to say that I love him so much," Paris said before breaking down in tears.
The question of where Jackson will be buried has reportedly not yet been determined.

US. REST IN PEACE MICHAEL
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE BUT HIS MUSIC LIVE FOREVER. GOD BLESS YOU MICHAEL.
Those poor children. Who is the least weird that they can be with? I think Debbie Rowe may be. She's not in showbiz and they just might have a chance for a normal life with her.
michael jackson u will be miss by the world and i but i feel that God wanting u to come home to be with him (God )so i say good by my little brother and may God bless you i am your 67 yrs brother that u have not see but i have see u many time
I think Grandma Katherine is the best choice to care for the children as no one else is sane enough to do so... definitely not the high tempered Debbie Rowe. That woman needs anger management!
I bet MJ is rolling over in his grave! He worked very hard to keep his children out of the spotlight and the family has already thrust Paris onto center stage. Regardless of what she said and whether or she wanted to, MJ would have never allowed it. The family ought to be ashamed. Those poor children will suffer the same fate and lack of childhood that haunted their father.
i feel tat micheal baby mother should hav full control of her childfren because she carry tem for 9 MONTHS and she pushed tem children out so i say give her children to her.
may his soul and other departed rest in peace.
I think Grandma Katherine is good for the kids; she was always around them,
They know her and trust her. The kids love her. There is no bond between Mrs. Debbie Rowe and the kids and now they just lost their dad, they need a loving person, where stands behind them and not more pain. You have to build love and trust it just is not coming over night it takes years. My deepest sympathy to the Jackson
Family.
To the family of Micahel Jackson. My prayers are with you during this time of mourning. Michael was a light that was not hidden. Love!
Michael’s children mother may have carried them for 9 months but where was she after that? I believed that she should allow the children to remain with what they know, like their grandmother and workout some sought of amicable solution.
For those children to go from hiding behind masks and veils to now being thrust out into the spotlight must be quite a shock. I hope this is not too much too soon for them.
Yes, she (Ms. Rowe) pushed them out O’right, but she also pushed them away for money. Not everyone who carries a child for 9 months should automatically be entitled to raised the child.
One more thing, if she could use profanity on international TV, what do you think she would do behind closed doors? Just a thought…
um u forgot something "Keitron Bahamas" that Debbie Rowe sold those kids to Micheal Jackson and she is not even sure if she wants them back so why would you want the kids to go with someone they barely know them and doesnt even want them in the first place? I rather have them stay with the Jackson family. did you see how close those kids were to them...how Paris was clinging on Katherine and Janet? She has known them all her life,that would be just too much for those kids to have lossed their father and have to lose the only family they have ever known...

I hope Michael finds some peace, he was talented but dysfunctional. he leaves behind a family of no talent, leeching, publicity seekers who grieve because they have lost their meal ticket. His death has attracted con artists, has been stars and hypocrites, like Jesse Jackson and Sharpton. I am concerned about his children who probably be used as pawns by his family and hanger-ons. As the children grow up how confused they will be: a father who denied by his actions he was Black, who molested white (not black) boys, not knowing who their mother was and/or why she gave them up. The other weirdness will haunt them as well. Kind of hard to believe some look to him as a hero and role model and not the pathetic lost soul he was.
to the person that posted at 1:46pm, I dont think Debbie needs to have custody of the kids, she has lived her life without them and from my uderstanding is happy where they are...I think that Janet would be a good mother to them, the kids seems very comfortable with her.
Michael signifies an era in all our lives. His death serves as a reminder that we all have an appointment with the all Mighty Father. May there be good to come out from his untimely death. Like the rich man in hell he raised his eyes to Abraham and Lazarus begging for a prophet to share the love of God to his family. May we all experience the true love that awaits us only in the arms of our almighty Jesus Christ.
Michael will be missed and remembered. If there's a gift he wants to leave behind that is the hope of living a life forever in heaven.
i wouldn't give custody back to the birth mother...just because she had to get paid for carrying those children...what kind of a mother does that???
He sang, he danced. Get over it. How about the soldiers who die everyday.
Because of people like Edward Gein and alike, there is never going to be peace and love in this World.
Love to Michael Jackson, his children and Family.
I think we need to forget about Michael Jackson I mean he was such a freak, why is America glamorizing over this child molester? What about the troops that have died in your state? Did you bother to right a blog about him? I mean lets get real here the unemployment went up to 9.5% last week and we are sitting around crying about some looser stop acting all foolish!!!!
Worry about his mother getting them with his father being in the picture, look what the abuse from his father did to him?
There is a lot to be said about Michael.For the sake of his children there is also somethings that should not be said. Ask God to guide your tongues during this time of bereavement. Thanks
God has called his son home to B with him, There R no more worries, pain R hatied where he resides now,B at peace Michael. I hope that the childrens life B a Glorified One, and that things go right 4 them. The Jackson Familys has my family Blessing, stay son and Stay with God.
For starters, Paris ASKED if she could say something! And, no matter what anyone believes, he was their father and they have a RIGHT to express their grief in any manner that they feel! second, why would the children go back to a mother who WILLINGLY gave them up at birth, has no relationship with them, and traded motherhood for money! In the end, Ms. Rowe is going to be bought out again because she only wants them for the money. The family, public, and courts will see that and they will pay her off, for good this time, to allow them to be where they are comfortable. Lastly, Ms. Katherine and the Jackson family has been the only constant and normal part of these children's lives. Why take that away? Joe is NOT in the picture as some would like to assume; and their aunts and uncles live close enough to Ms. Katherine where they will be another constant factor of support, stability, and love that they will need once life calms down and they try to move on!!
why do so many people care that this man has died? He was wierd, liked to molest children, and dressed like he would have rather have been a woman. I mean, what man do you know that wears lipstick and fake eyelashes. Everyone was disgusted by Michael Jackson, and now that he's died, everyone is worshiping him. Give it up. The world and those children are better off with him gone! Those poor kids. They should not live with ANY of the Jacksons. They will probably come out in 10 years about their life with Michael anyways and we will all know the truth. I'm sick of it consuming the news and the magazines.
All of you please look at Anonymous 6:07 a.m. post. I couldn't have said it better. If you have nothing nice to say about MJ, don't say it all. How would you like your children to have to hear these things about you. You are judging a person you did not know personally. Shame on you all!
Jermaine is tryin 2 step n Michael's spotlite n joe jackson see's money. Bet joe throws the kids out so he can live a comfy life. N mrs jackson well she mite b sane but she's never been able 2 stand up 2 joe. Wut he says goes. Too bad michael left her set- and n long run joe's guna go thru all that michael worked hard 4. And poor kids. Even janet looked pretty fake up on stage ystrdy. Sorry i love michael and his children but he knew sumthin we didn't. Thats y he always kept himself & his kids from his family. the jacksons got wut michael always had his fortune n fame.
may his soul rest in peace michael.depest simpathy to michaels family.
