I thank all the officials and I appreciate them.” She said about Michael’s death: “This event has been very heavy for us. We try to stay together as a family and endure it. I’m trying to think positively. But aside from these things, Michael’s children are doing okay.” She also talked about the guardianship of Michael’s children, Katherine Jackson, saying that her mother: “enjoys spending time with her grandchildren very much, and what she loves most is for everyone to gather together and play.
