Ricardo - Awesome tribute to Michael! He was a fantastic entertainer and performer! The world has lost several icons over the last several weeks and including a dear friend of mine whom I worked with. In Michael's case fortunately we still have his music and the thousands of photographs and news clips of his life. He will be missed by his fans, friends, family and the music world as a whole. Good-bye Michael! May you find peace in the hereafter! - Pat
