Why is this site so late to report info? Doesn't really make sense being Michael Jackson's official website... :-/

Michael so proud of you for all, and I mean all of your accomplishments. Proud of your strength and Character. Love you more each day and miss you more each day. Only wish you would have received the awards while you were still with us. Such a remarkable loving person. My tears still flow for the loss of you.

Thanks to Irene for posting the info to call the LAPD lead detective - yes, we should call to let them know we haven't forgotten and we should make sure we are very respectful but determined and insistent. Irene gave a very good example.

It's all for love - L.O.V.E.
