This shrine was erected on what would have been Mr. Jackson's 32nd birthday by his mother, Hilda Jackson, his sons, and his partner, and other family members. Ms. Jackson has kept her son's memory alive, and has spoken of her son's death as a pain beyond what any mother should have to bear.

I wish her and this family every strength, comfort, peace, and blessing.
