Michael Jackson's Father: We Miss Him Endlessly
The family of Michael Jackson is speaking out about his sudden death on Thursday.
"In one of the darkest moments of our lives we find it hard to find the words appropriate to this sudden tragedy we all had to encounter," said a statement released by Michael's father Joe Jackson and family. "Our beloved son, brother and father of three children has gone so unexpectedly, in such a tragic way and much too soon. It leaves us, his family, speechless and devastated to a point, where communication with the outside world seems almost impossible at times.
"We miss Michael endlessly, our pain cannot be described in words. But Michael would not want us to give up now. So we want to thank all of his faithful supporters and loyal fans worldwide, you – who Michael loved so much. Please do not despair, because Michael will continue to live on in each and every one of you. Continue to spread his message, because that is what he would want you to do. Carry on, so his legacy will live forever.
At the end of the statement, Joe added a personal message, saying: "My grandchildren are deeply moved by all the love and support you have shown for them and their father, Michael Jackson."

The whole ordeal is very sad and depressing. This guy had everything and yet nothing at all. He was so personally damaged that it prohibited him from finding happiness and peace. The Dad and the brothers seem so money hungry and downright greedy. It sickens me. It almost seems like he was not meant for the human world the rest of us love in. maybe, just maybe, in death he can finally be at peace. This memorial thing should be another spectacal.

I for one Am sick of the ongoing finger pointing and attack on Joe Jackson. Granted he may have not always done everything right, but if it was not for Joe Jackson instilling the discipline
he did in those boys..There would have been No Jackson 5, and No Michael Jackson and no Janet Either. It was Joe's Vision that made all of this possible. Katherine Backed Joe on his vision. It was Joe who worked at the plant and bought those musical instruments and taught those boys how to play and made them rehearse. Not any one of us. He sacrificed, just like Matthew Knowles did for Beyonce, Like Mr williams did for Venus and Serena, and Like Tiger woods dad did for him. He deserves the same friggin respect. Every family goes through disagreements and problems sometimes, But who the hell are we to judge anyone? All of us have faults of some sort, so why dont we just focus on our own stuff, and let other folk deal with theirs. I for One Thank you Joseph and Katherine Jackson for sharing your Vision and your Children with us (the entire World) all these years!! GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU DURING THIS TIME OF BEREAVEMENT! -- I.B.HEYWARD
All Joe Jackson wants is his "free ride" again....if it weren't for his sons and daughters, he'd be homeless...cruel, cruel, arrogant man...he didn't deserve to be Michael Jackson's father, and I"M THRILLED he was left out of the will....what goes around comes around, Joe!

you should be ashamed of yourself for hurting your son when he needed you the most in life.why do you think this has happened..you have been so mean to him in a way he could not heal and then you have the nerve to miss him come on get with it man you should never of been such a bad father and l truely feel micheal would still be with us -- sue
I think the whole family is insensetive towards Debbie ,the mother of the children.Every child deserves to know their mother. children that are adopted are curious as to who their real parents are.Debbie Rowe is part of this family ,wheather the Jackson's like it or not,she is the MOTHER of theses children,that's what makes her family.God does not like ugly,and the Jackson's are being ugly about DEbbie Rowe
