This is a touching image of the original Jackson 5 members + Randy (on the far left), carrying their brother Michael’s golden casket to the stage at the Staples Center.

Michael’s sister Janet Jackson and the children Michael raised as his own, Prince I, Prince II and Paris

The public memorial was beautiful. My mom (who is almost 80) was most impressed with Usher whom she calls “Russia” no matter how many times I correct her.

MORE pics from the memorial after the break

Hopefully someone will put the contents of the program online in PDF form so we can download it
