  • A great talent taken too soon...I know you are praying for son, Redmond. I, too, will pray for his recovery. I will pray for Ryan as well....he was devoted to you and you are the love of his life. You left your "mark"....you shan't be forgotten !

  • I just wanted to say I am so tired of Diane Dimond's reports
    on Michael Jackson. I think it is disrespectful and bordering
    on sensationalism. I don't believe she has heard the
    expression "don't speak ill of the dead". I for one, am tired
    of her...
