July 7, 2009 was a very sad day for us all, as thousands of people gathered at the Staples Center Los Angeles to bid their final farewell for Michael Jackson, the King of Pop who died of cardiac arrest on June 25th, 2009.  The sudden death of the world’s biggest pop star affected millions of fans around the world. Among the people who paid her respect was Daddy’s Girls Star Vanessa Simmons, who blogs at GlobalGrind.com, a website owned by her uncle, Russell Simmons.

Vanessa kept it short, but touching as she wrote:
