Debbie Rowe Attempts To Reach Out To Jackson Family

Several reports have been circulating about Debbie Rowe, mother to the two eldest children of Michael Jackson. The most recent suggests that Debbie has tried desperately to speak with the Jackson family, but as of yet, nothing has come of her efforts.
A close personal friend & business associate of Debbie and the late singer, Marc Schaffel, has been attempting to get Debbie in contact with the family to express her condolences as well as suggest "a venue where they could have a public memorial".
Schaffel tells People: "Debbie was absolutely devastated by Michael's death. They had an incredible bond and friendship even prior to the marriage…Debbie was a very good friend to Michael during all those years."
As for the children, he admits that Debbie understands the difficult position the entire Jackson family is in and does not feel it proper to disrupt the children's lives further at the present time. Says Schaffel: "Debbie understands it's a very difficult time for everybody involved, including the children. I think everybody involved would say they want to see the children have no more disruption in their life until their father has been put to rest."
Leaving the door open for a custody fight!
Greedy!
For now, the children have been put in the care of their grandmother, Katherine Jackson.
We hope the welfare of these poor kids remains on the forefront of everyone's concern during this difficult time.
