Though filled with tears and laughter, the most touching moment of the Michael Jackson Memorial Service held at the Staples Center, came from his 11-year-old daughter. As family members gathered around the stage to address the crowd, Paris Katherine bravely grabbed the microphone to pay honor to her father.  
  
"I just want to say ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you can ever imagine," she said through tears. "And I just want to say I love him so much," Paris said as she broke into tears.  
  
After speaking, she looked to her aunt, Janet Jackson, who took her into her arms and embraced her as the Jackson family left the stage.  
  
Michael's children, Prince Michael, 12, and Prince Michael II (Blanket), 7, were also on stage with the family, but did not speak.  
  
The memorial service for the King of Pop, who passed away on June 25, lasted over two hours.
