Catherine Caused the Jackson Family’s Delay

Apparently, Catherine was the reason for the Jackson family’s delay at yesterday’s ceremony. The ceremony was supposed to start at 7:00 PM at Forest Lawn, but because the family didn’t arrive on time, it began at around 8:30 PM. A source close to the family said that Catherine Jackson didn’t want to attend the ceremony and wasn’t ready to take part until 6:45 PM: "It’s like she suddenly realized the ceremony isn’t that private after all." Michael’s burial—more than two months after his death—was comforting for his family, and especially for his mother, Catherine. Al Sharpton, one of the family’s friends, says: "Everyone told her (Catherine) how strong she was, but she said, ‘Being strong isn’t always easy.’" Source: eMJey / msnbc
