Remember the Time: Protecting Michael Jackson in His Final Days (41 page)

To Cousin Jeff, this book would not have been possible without you having faith in me. Much respect, King!

To Cousin Tay, I’m proud of the dad and man you have become. Thanks for having your big cuzzo’s back through the good and bad.

To Peter McGuigan and the staff at Foundry Media, thanks for shopping our project around and believing in us and not forcing us to compromise our integrity.

To Tanner Colby, thanks for listening to us and bringing our vision to life.

Thanks to all my family and friends for your love and support: Auntie Carol, Uncle Ed, Aunt Gwen, JJ, Desi, Krystal, Darren, Cousin Trina, Dimawi, Lil E, Virgil, Cousin Jason, Sonic, Tafari, Susie, Angela, Marlon, Buck, Sed, Ron, Pastor Carey, Trineka, Calvin, Jamori, Delaney, Seabraum, Jason. Rest in peace Sonny, Auntie Paula, the Gibson Family, Melody, Danthony. I wish I could list you all. . . .

And last but not least, Aisha, my best friend in the world. You stood by me at my lowest point and never treated me different. You have a friend for life. I love you always.
