I too grew up with Michael and Janet i’m 42 yr old mom of three boys. So the pain I felt the past 2 days was so strong and surprising to me. I have never cried over the loss of a celebrity. I felt the pain for Katherine, his children and what his siblings are feeling. Then I thought of you Quincy Jones and others who were a major part of Michaels life for years. Please know Quincy we know how hard you tried and long you were there for him. He was like your brother a son a friend. I will continue to play my cds of michael and purchase dvd’s of his life. Thank you Michael you have always been loved
