By Therese Lisieux on July 1st, 2009Updated July 10 2009 – Inside Neverland Ranch, the rooms were crammed with Michael Jackson’s stuff. Neverland had wall to wall possessions of all sorts.

Thomas J Barrack Jr, a business partner of Michael Jackson, wrote an open letter to Santa Barbara residents. Barrack wanted to warn them about the crowds that would converge in Santa Barbara as they flock to Neverland Ranch for the public viewing of Michael Jackson’s body on Friday, July 3.
Barrack wrote that the public and Santa Barbara residents should try to accommodate the wishes of the Jackson family during this difficult time.
Besides Barrack, the CHP is also gearing up to prepare for security as Jackson’s motorcade is expected to travel on the road as it drives slowly from LA or the temporary holding place to Neverland Ranch.
Barrack, or the parties responsible for getting Neverland Ranch ready for Friday’s large crowds, has ordered contractors to do up Neverland Ranch. Reports said large quantities of concrete were delievered to Neverland Ranch.

My thoughts and feelings on Neverland are as follows.. I am sure like everyhting else neverland is in the Michael jackson family trust with Barrack.
However, although many have gone to he land of Peter Pan. Michael himself said he would never return there, it had no longer been a place that brought him joy, love, peace and happiness, instead it became his prison and a place that caused his heart to break and his soul to be scarred. Neverland would never be what it once was when the KING OF POP helped so many children and carried s all into a world of love and fantasy. His family of couse would love tomake it a shrine or a GRACELAND like Elvis but that wasn’t Michael’s wish, he no longer felt what he once felt for this magical place too much had happened and so much hurt. His family would want to make it a GRACELAND because they would all benefit from the proceeds collected, however if Michael did not include them in his will or his trust then why would he want them to have Neverland, please stop with the love thing they used him and abused him the oly other Jackson that’s worth anything is Janet and that was Michael’s love along with his mother and his three children the rest notas they profess…
