20. Michael Jackson, to quote a lyric from one of your songs...I want you to know, “You are not alone.” Not anymore. I believe you are now, the angel in heaven you sought so hard to be here on earth. You were so misunderstood, vilified, and beat upon. There was so much mockery and hatred of you, for only one reason. You’re goodness; your luminosity into the beautiful heart you believed could be in every man. You had such generosity, and tried so hard to teach others, to look into the soul; and to not judge based on color, creed or class.
But darkness, doesn’t like beauty to shine. It detracts so much from what it is trying to do. Create dark humanless souls of us all. To replace the radiance that was born within all of us, by God. You spoke of nothing, but love and peace. Your light through your words, and music shone so bright. You’ve brought so much too so many, but only sought pure love for yourself. Your sensitivity brought ridicule. When all you wished most of all was to be embraced and understood. You had such a creative, gentle, kind spirit.
I think what personally stood out to me most of all; was your tender nature. Envy in other people mistook that for weakness, when in reality it is strength. The force of who you were was so strong. Many people wish to have that, but could never achieve it. So they became jealous and spiteful towards your achievements.
We are all afforded different opportunities in life. Instead of being envious, they should have rejoiced with you, in your success and in your life.

23. I am still doing a happy dance Joe does not get anything. I have a feeling that Katherine is not going to share much with Joe. That dude should go back to Vegas and stay there!

Hmmm, funny that Jerry Brown is getting in on the charity end of it since it was just announced that CA is broke and paying some debts with IOUs. Does he think that maybe the Michael Jackson Family Trust will consider the state of California (who were really CRAPPY to MJ) a charity????

BTW, when Katherine passes away (which I hope is many many many years from now)-- her 40% reverts to MJ's children. Wow. WTG John Branca! You did a great job in protecting MJ. Let's hope you both are assigned executors of the estate on Monday (or was that hearing too rescheduled to July 13th?)

Anyone else think it's eery that the new hearin gis the same day This Is It was to start in London?

24. Each minor child gets about 13% of the estate. Mom, who is already both wealthy and old, gets 40%. Something's wrong with that. Those kids' lifelong psychotherapy bills alone are going to cost more than 13% of that estate. What a way of taking care of those kids' needs.

25. Please just bury this man/child. He has suffered enough
Watching Jermaine today was painful.
Let him be laid to rest somewhere! Any where and stop all this crazy Jackson promotion.
What a discrace this family is.
Why put him through this in death too.
Like Liza M said "all hell will break loose". So true.

26. think about this ...this is one problem he has that he can;t buy his way out of ......lol

27. 13% of his income is still quite a bit for each kid and the 40% that went to his mother is probablly to help for the care of his children since she was listed as their guardian. as for the 20% for charities.. this is what Michael devoted himself to and what he was about.. helping children! He didn't molest anyone. He was aquitted of all charges. I'm sorry if he really did it then the parents NEVER would have settled with him they would have gone after him till he were to rot in jail so let it go people, HE DIDN'T DO IT! God you people are stupid.

28. Please put the man/boy to rest
Like I have said before and to quote Liza M
"all hell is gonna break loose"
Show the person some respect Jacksons and please allow him some dignity now.
Joe=You have done enough self promotion. Please shut up! NOW!
