I'm like you...I take these things very hard. I have been in a sad funk since I heard the news. Been watching, reading, and listening to all I can but I think I'll stop now because I am getting too depressed. Those who loved his music and remember all the good he did, will feel the void more than others...
This man has done so much for humanity. He was involved in 39 charities...more than any other celebrity. All proceeds from "Man in the Mirror" also went to charity. His money made from the Victory tour...to charity. And let's not forget "We are the World," which he co-wrote...again, charity. That is just the tip of the iceberg, as far as his humanitarian involvement. Even when his finances began to suffer he still thought of others. No one is mentioning these wonderful things. His music, talent, and genius speaks for itself but what about the other gifts he left. He so wanted to make the world a better place and all some wanted to do was persecute him...how sad!
As for the jokes, one word - "disgusting." It's so horrible to think that there are people in this world who would find the loss of someone, superstar or not, as a fodder for jokes. How disgusting that their minds and warped sense of humor works in such a way...such cruelty.
I will remember him with fondness and love, and pray that he knew his Savior and is now with God...no more pain, saddness, or despair at the hands of others! Rest now Sweet Man...your job here is done! God bless!
