It’s NO to Neverland

12/07/2009

GRIEVING La Toya has vowed her brother's body will NOT be buried in Neverland.

And she slammed reports that he was to be cremated and his ashes dropped by helicoper over his old home.

"He will absolutely not go back there - he made it clear he never wanted to," said his sister who has sole control over where he goes.

"Once his trial was over he said, 'This place helped destroy me'. He will be buried - and I've suggested to the family something Michael told me he wanted."

Brain

La Toya confirmed that his brain, removed in the autopsy, is back in his body. "So is his liver," she said. "Stories that his heart was removed are not true."

Meanwhile she said the family was surprised by his 2002 will stating Diana Ross should be back-up to Katherine Jackson as mum.

La Toya said: "Michael always wanted his eldest sister Rebbie to look after the children. He updated his will every five years - so we expect another one to emerge from 2007."

LaToya not only was Micheal proud of you, but what you're doing for your brother now makes me feel very proud of you. It's truly that unconditional sisterly love. My heart is still hurting from this. Lately I find myself listening to all of his music and watching videos over and over again. My household is Michael INN. I want to do a tribute (talent show) to Michael here in DC. (A DC's Love for your brother) because millions grew up watching the Jacksons on TV therefore a dance, song , or look alike may somewhat ease the pain, but no one on earth will ever be "The Greatest Entertainer" like Michael. He was AWESOME. My mother once said, money is the root of all evil. May God continue to be with you and your family. I'm so glad your mother has the three children. I was praying for that outcome. My prayers are with all of you, God bless.

Much Love,
M.Powell-Bowie

I loved MJ for several reasons
1. He gave his children REASONS why he must cover their faces, because he wanted his children to unite with other children, share unretrievable lovely moments together with their age group. If they were known by all, paparazzi would have being in their school,church, in museums,shopping centres
2. He became white(wrong decision) REASON was that he wanted to be accepted by both white, black, asians.
Surely MJ's fame was something a-day-old child had already learnt from conception and will start dancing from birth. My promise is that i must download all MJ's songs for my children-children. Rest in peace MJ.

Drug addiction is a strange phenomenon. It makes you gullible and easily duped. MJ had all the classic signs of drug dependency. He isolated himself from his family and friends. If foul play was involved, it was because of his involvement with drugs. He was smart enough to know this. My heart goes out to his family and children during their time of grief. LaToya, you are experiencing a very traumatic situation. But, the idea of foul play is always a occupational hazzard for someone as famous as your brother, Michael Jackson.

I love michael like anything. There r many things of his life that i can relate to mine n thats what takes me closer to him. I wish n pray that La toya gets hold of his murderers n they r hanged to death.I wish it happenes as soon as possible.They hav no right to live after killing a person who was son, brother, father,godfather n above all the king of pop n a gem of a person likeMICHEAL JACKSON. Michaels' soul will finally rest to peace once his killers r caught n punished. Long live the king. Our love will bring u back one day. Till then rest in PEACE. All the best to La Toya.

THere is nothing normal about the Jackson family, only Michael was normal, he gave his children a life of play of safety not beatings and work from a young age, he was a good farther and let his children have a good childhood, they wore masks so noone would recognise them they would go to places like MacDonalds like any other child but if people knew what they looked like their life would have been hell, with people chasing them with camera's, rest in peace Michael, god bless you and your children.

When life becomes too complicated and your heart gets broken the way Michaels did. God steps up and take you home. All those responsible for his destruction will have their day of reckoning. I can relate to Michaels feelings because of his kind nature he was a target for all those heartless unforgiving and gruel people. He is at rest now they can't hurt him anymore. I am very sorry for your loss and you will always be in my prayers.God felt that it was time for him to have a rest. As hard as it is for those who are left behind we must console ourselves knowing that what we feel now may have been tenfold harder for the departed. However God has given and left Paris on this earth to make people realise that he was a living human being and he was a father who loved his children very much and so did they him. I salute you Paris for standing up for what you believed. I think you were the only one who really understood your father well. God Bless you and your brother and keep you safe from harm.

Thank you LaToya for honoring your brother's
wishes. Surely, you and your mother would
know best what he would have wanted.
We all keep hearing that your dad, joe, wants
to make $$$$ on Neverland..and that is the only
reason they would bury him there.
Also, please take excellent care of the children
and see that they have a normal life..they deserve
it after all of this.
They will be in good hands with you, Janet, and
your mom.
Please know that we are with you in this time
of sorrow.
