47. Hey Fabi I'm sure looks were the last thing on your mind being that you're ugly!!

48. My prayers go out to the Jackson family at this time, especially to Mrs. Jackson and Michael's children. Why you people want to comment negatively on her getting her nails done is beyond me! Who cares, get real and get a life.

I am sure she has had the past almost week and a half to mourn the loss of her beloved son Michael and what an entertainer he was! My heart is broken and the world has lost a wonderful man, son, father and entertainer.

Funny how some people STILL want to comment on passed accusations of "child molestation", WHAT ABOUT THE PARENTS OF THESE KIDS????? I blame the parents of these kids, not Michael, nor do I believe any of the accusations about Michael! As a parent, it was THEIR responsibility to ensure the safety of their kids, shows a great deal about their parenting skills! Please!

Michael was too good for this world and hopefully now he can get the peace he so much deserves. Shame on all the negative people and their negative comments....

To the Jackson family, I think you are all wonderful and caring people. My condolensces to you. I loved Michael and am heartbroken over his loss and what he gave the world, I will never forget!

Respectfully,
Sherry Schroeder

52. I send out my condolences to the Jackson family especially to his three young children. There are no words to descirbe Michael's legacy, he was more than an icon and a legend. Many generations grew up with Michael's music and he will be sadly missed.

For those who are writing negative comments about Michael and his family, I beg you to show some respect. All his life Michael was tormented by the media and by the public with all their negative views, now people need to leave him alone and allow him to rest in peace. Let's celebrate his music, his unique style of dancing and everything else he bought to the entertainment industry. Let's rememeber the fact that Michael, the King of Pop, changed the face of contemporary music forever and inspired musicians and dancers of today. Let's forget about all the negativity in his life. I feel that people may remember Michael for all the negatives rather than the positives.

As for his family, it doesn't matter if his mother went to a nail saloon to have her nails done. For her this may have been an escape from all that is happening in her world, it is an escape from reality, and for her going about her daily rituals, may help her to begin the healing process and allow her for just a few minutes take her mind off the fact that she has to bury her own child, this I can imagine to be a very hard thing and this will provide her with some closure. We should remember that everyone grieves differently and we should not judge how they decide to do this.

Finally, I would just like to say that I really feel for Michael's three young children. I was in tears after watching his daughter Paris speak at the memorial service. I think now everyone just needs to back off and allow the children to grieve privately. As children they do not need to see media reports that reflect their father in a negative light. They need to remember him for the good times they shared with him, because those memories are precious.

Michael, may you rest in peace and may your legacy forever live on in our hearts.

53. With Katherine and Joe Jackson's looks...Michael Jackson didn't have a chance....looks-wise.

Katherine is not a Saint...she stayed with an abusive husband...let him damage ALL their 9 kids. How does that make her Great?...not in my world...maybe in "Your World".

55. I dont know how most of you were raised but my parents raised me that when attending a memorial/funeral service it is only proper to dress accordingly ie..best clothes, best appearence and if she felt her nails needed attention, so be it. No different than if she were getting her hair done.

Being that this poor woman and family not only have to deal with the loss of a loved one people attack her for having her nails done.
PEOPLE REMEMBER SHE IS SOMEONES MOTHER, WITH THAT, THINK OF YOURS AND WOULD YOU WANT HER TO BE HASSLED AND RIDICULED THE SAME WAY DURING PROBABLY THE THIRD MOST DIFFICULT TIME IN HER LIFE, THE LOSS OF TWO CHILDREN AND HAVING JOE JACKSON FOR A HUSBAND.

56. Katherine and Joe Jackson don't give a damn about Michael. Money is the only thing that matters...
Not a single tear! Her nails must be more important than her unburried son. Poor Mike!
Katherine kept silent when Joe abused his children, she KNEW everything but never even tried to protect her son.
And what about Joe's behaviour, the very day of Mike's death, smiling at paparazzis, having fun next to the dead's house????
Too sad! RIP Mike!
