I am Michael's youngest daughter Mary Jane. Even though through the years there was times of distance between me and my father there was always love in my heart for him. He will be missed but not forgotten and will always be a peice of me to carry around. I love you dad and I am glad I was gifted to be able to see him one last time in July of this year before his passing.
