Michael Jackson Fan Club President and Friend    “This tribute is a way for fans to feel like they’re part of something that’s going to be timeless. The portrait will be around forever, and they can always be a part of that. Each fan is one dot for eternity. The one thing that Michael loved more than anything else besides his children was his fans, and he was always very, very appreciative of his fans. For there to be a portrait that’s going to be done with each dot representing a fan, oh he would love it! He would absolutely just be over the top with that.”

Author/Speaker | Daughter of Muhammad Ali    "Because of my parents, I have had the opportunity to meet many people; but Michael was great.  He adored my mother and we loved him.  Although Michael was a great showman and I loved him as a showman, I loved him more for the great human being that he was and the great father that he was and the great humanitarian that he was.  God blessed Michael with his abilities; but Michael did exactly what he was supposed to do with his gifts - he gave his energy, time, money and power to humanity."
