The Forest Lawn Christmas Tree ! Peace, Love & Merry Michael-Mas 2014 !

This week we put up two Christmas trees for Michael at Forest Lawn. One is outside in the area the fans have claimed as Michael’s for flowers, cards, etc. The other one was placed inside Holly Terrace as close to him as possible.

Both trees are very special and hold so much love for Michael. All the love that was put in to decorating the trees, physically and spiritually combined to make them magic! The trees were decorated by ornaments from fans from all over the world.

Over the past 5+ years that Michael has been gone, there is a small group of us that visit weekly and we have come to know some of the visitors that come to visit their own loved ones who are buried in Holly Terrace.


From the beginning, as we do with all who come to visit their loved ones, we say hello. All will respond back, some warmer than others. There is one particular couple who come every week to visit their child. They are older and the husband has always been more receptive to us than his wife. The husband will make small talk but the wife rarely if ever says anything. She is not as standoffish as she originally was. This past Sunday as we were finishing up the outside tree and putting up the star, the couple came out from Holly Terrace. Another fan and I were talking and she was attempting to put up the star but it was too high up. They slowed down to see what we were doing and the wife looks at the situation and she walks right over to the tree and pulls it close to Mone, who was standing on the bench with the star in her hand, looking at the tree and holds it so she can place the star. Her husband and I just stood there and smiled. We thanked them both and wished them a good day.


This year is the first time in the 3 years that we have been doing a Christmas tree for Michael that we were allowed to decorate the tree ourselves. Rhonda and I worked the whole entire day decorating that tree. The day was perfect. The weather was perfect. We worked on the terrace area of the tree. Not many visitors were going in to Holly Terrace this Christmas Eve. A few in particular stood out to me. All of them were older, probably in their 70’s or more.

The first one was an elderly man who had a little trouble getting up the stairs. As he approached, I said “hello”. I could see he struggled a bit and I held my hand out for him to assist him up and he smiled. I watched him as he walked to the second set of steps and was close by to see if he needed my hand again, but he was okay. He went inside and when he came out I was walking to get more ornaments. He said to me, “that’s a lot of work”, I smiled at him, and said “Yes, these trees and ornaments are from his fans from all over the world”. He continued to walk and said, “that’s a good thing that you are doing and it’s important”. I agreed with him and we wished each other a good day and a happy holiday.


Shortly after an elderly couple came up holding hands and went inside. When they came out the wife said to me , “Everything looks beautiful, Michael would love it!” That also put a smile on my face as I thanked her and wished them a happy holiday.

Michael’s love continues to grow and spread among and around us. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and A Happy Holiday.

Loving this article, Michael is always remembered.

Every time I see these displays at Forest Lawn, whether it be One Rose, or Christmas, or a birthday-or even Happy Father's Day, I am just so touched that he is so loved by so many. The homemade cards and ornaments from all over the world are just so moving to me.
