You were always there for me and my brothers. Teaching and showing us how to be the best person we could. Thank you Uncle Michael for being such an amazing uncle and for all the wonderful memories and experiences you gave me in my life. I will always love you and miss you. – Meho

12 years ago Michael Jackson passed away, I remember the pain in my Dad’s voice when he told me. Michael was The King of Pop! But he was also an amazing friend, a wonderful father to his kids, so kind and funny! That was the Michael my family knew and loved, he is missed! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/lMcxpLIejb
