Lisa Marie Presley logged onto Myspace today for the first time in like a year, not since Michael Jackson’s death. Her and her daughter Riley just visited his tomb at Forest Lawn, and she said that Michael doesn’t have enough flowers on and around his tomb. Lisa said that Michael loved sunflowers, so she is requesting that all Michael fans all send one silk sunflower to his tomb to fill up the empty space.
It’s empty there because it’s a private area that his fans can’t get to!!! Fans want to visit his tomb but we can’t get in! Lisa wants us to mail the flower to Forest Lawn, but never get to see the flower on the tomb. The fans wish that Michael’s burial site would be public. The fans think he would have wanted it that way. If it were public, trust me there would be mountains of flowers!

Lisa, You’ve got to take a picture or film some video of the flowers and then people will feel the connection with Michael. Sending flowers to an address, and the fans knowing they won’t get a response isn’t exactly fair. Maybe try to arrange some ‘open to the public’ visitation days or weekends while you’re at it! Think of a way to build the bridge better with the fans and Michael. Work that part out Lisa, and then your plan will work out better.
Here is Lisa’s full blog from MySpace:
Greetings MJ Fans….
While visiting him a few days ago at Forest Lawn , Riley and I couldn’t help but notice that , while there are a few bouquets , candles and gifts there is a very large empty space around him and in front of him that could use a whole lot more.
While , I am sure that the staff at The Holly Terrace do their very best to place what is sent and what is placed at the door at his tomb , I thought you might like to know that he would want and deserves more than what is there and I had an idea…….
Some may or may not know this but his favorite flower was the Sunflower.
They made him happy because they looked happy to him , Thus, he called them “The Happy Flower”.
When we were married , I would try and fill up rooms with them wherever he was.
I wanted to bring something to place near him that he liked and that wouldn’t die so I brought a large vase of silk sunflowers and placed them near him.
This barely made any kind of dent in the atmosphere so I thought of maybe letting those who care know what the situation is and how we can solve it.
I know how much he loved and appreciated being showered with Gifts and flowers by his fans , I thought if whoever wants to bought just one silk sunflower each and sent it , the whole area around him and in front of him (As well as the two large empty vases that sit on either side of him) could be filled up in no time , which would be much more appropriate than what the current status is right now.
We can all cause a “Sun shower” if you will………..
He deserves to be flooded and surrounded , LETS SURROUND HIM!
Lots of Love,
~LMPThere are two Forest Lawns in LA which is confusing,
Below is the correct address to send them to:The Holly Terrace At Forest Lawn

Glendale Calif, 91205
