I am so deeply saddened by the news of Michael Jackson’s passing. I first met Michael at the Circle Star Theatre in San Carlos with my dad when I was 10 years old. Since then I have had the privilege to know Michael and the entire Jackson family. As so many of us are overcome with grief, I hope we can all remember the creative and trendsetting artist that Michael was. He was larger than life – the King of Pop – and influenced so many lives through his music and philanthropy.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Michael’s children and the Jackson family during this devastating time.

Michael you are truly loved and will be extremely missed.

God Bless,
