But I am pleased {and relived} that the memorial was a fitting tribute to an extremely talented artist. I had predicted that it would turn into a circus and I'm happy to eat my words. Despite any or all of MJ's faults {the man was human and he like everyone else had his failings}, his life and his many accomplishments deserved to be honoured, celebrated and remembered in a dignified way. I only pray that in the coming months as his family deals with the extremely difficult task of settling his estate - that they will continue to conduct themselves in the same dignified, gracious manner that they did today. His children and his legacy deserve nothing less. I didn’t watch the Memorial as I live overseas and it took place during the early AM of the morning.
