Many shared about Michael in word and song, Brooke Shields, actress, was no exception.  She gave a touching recollection of her memories she has and cherishes from knowing Michael, in her mind and heart, The Little Prince.

Brooke Shields shares at Michael Jackson's funeral:

What we shared the most was laughter.  Michael was mischievous too.

And when he decided to wear one glove, I asked him, 'What's up with the glove?" 

She also shared about her experience with Michael at Elizabeth Taylor's wedding, a funny story that ended up with a joke turning around on to them - Brooke and Michael. 

Such things like this may have appeared odd on the outside, but we had fun."

Brooke met Michael when was 13.  She once told him that he was a slacker, as she began in the business at 11 months, and he only began at 5 years old.

She said that he loved to be teased.  Seeing him smile made everything seem alright.

He had an unchallenged ability, and to those lucky enough  to know him, knew that he was caring, honest, pure, funny, lover of life, cared so deeply for his family and friends and fans.

He was often referred to as the king, but he reminded me more of the Little Prince."

She shared a passage from The Little Prince... 

His loyalty to a flower...

lamps must be protected, as even a gust of wind can blow them out.  Eyes are blind, you have to look with the heart, what is most important is invisible.

Brooke,

Michael saw everything with his heart.  To all, my prayers are with you.

His favorite song was by Charlie Chaplin, for a movie of modern times, 'Smile.'

To all Brooke concludes:

Smile though you're heart is aching, although ours are, we need to look up where he is undoubtedly perched on a crescent moon smiling so know that we need to smile too."
