In the public memorial service for Michael Jackson,
his daughter, Paris, broke down into tears as she
spoke of how great her father was.
The eleven-year old Paris said: "Ever since I was born,
daddy has been the greatest father you could ever imagine,
and I just want to say I love him..so much."

After the service Michael's brother Jermaine, thank the
people who attended on behalf of the Jackson family and
said: "On behalf of my family and friends I'd like to thank
everyone for coming out. We thank you, that's all I can
say, we thank you very much."
Lots of big names in the entertainment world were at the
service to honor the 'King of Pop' including Stevie Wonder,
Smokey Robinson, Brooke Shields and many others, but the
words of family friend Rev. Al Sharpton somehow brought
a deeper meaning. He said: "It was Michael Jackson that
brought blacks and whites and Asians and Latinos together.
Michael Jackson kept going, he created a comfort level,
where people that felt they were separate became
interconnected with his music. Later, it wasn't strange to
watch Oprah on television. It wasn't strange to watch Tiger
Woods golf. He made people comfortable to vote for a
person of color for president. I want his children to know,
there wasn't nothing strange about your daddy. It was
strange what your daddy had to deal with."
