We knew Michael from Oct 1984 until March 1988 He was good to us. The last we met him was at a reception for Bad concert tour. My photo with him was taken then March 1988 at the Helmsley Palace Hotel. The girl in front of Michael is our daughter Andrea to whom he dedicated the single The Way You Make Me Feel. The single came out in Nov 87 when she was 7. We met him in Toronto when he came to perform at the Victory Tour concert and he called us in response to a fan letter I had written to him. He invited us to be his VIP guests at the concert and then he would call quite often from the U.S and would always speak well of other celebrities. After he fired his manager in April 1988 we never heard from him. And then he got in with his own personal problems and a life has now ended because of the people he was surrounded by. And when he had the means to get doctors who would readily prescribe pain killers an overdoes can lead to death as it happend in his case. It is sad. One must always be careful and stay away from drinks and drugs. PS. Our son is in the white sequined thriller jacket that Michael let him wear prior to the concert love nazir patel canada
