Michael Jackson's memorial ceremony might be over, but that doesn't mean you have to forget the star. If you're a big fan of the King of Pop, you can join others on Facebook who have created groups to remember him.

Remembering Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson -- If you're trying to find answers to the singer's death, the Michael Jackson group is the place to be. Although it has just over 3,000 members, they're all trying to determine the events surrounding his death. In fact, the group's description starts out with a discussion on his doctors.

If you're looking for something other than that, the group also offers some pictures and videos of Jackson performing. It's not the most active group, it might be worth checking out.

MICHAEL JACKSON -- The MICHAEL JACKSON group offers all kinds of content from the pop star. The group provides over 1,000 pictures of Jackson, as well as dozens of videos taken from YouTube. Some of those videos play his songs, while others show him battling media hordes whenever he made a public appearance.

Because the group has over 80,000 members, the group's discussion pages are extremely active. Much of the recent discussion has been on the events surrounding his death, but you'll also find heated debates over many facets of Jackson's life. It's a great place to share your opinions of the pop star.

Michael Jackson* -- Michael Jackson* is a relatively small group. But its 9,000 members have done a fine job providing a host of great Michael Jackson content.

When you get to Michael Jackson*, you'll find an in-depth biography of the pop star from his birth all the way to his death. But the best feature of Michael Jackson* is its links section, which points you to sites where you can buy Michael Jackson merchandise, watch dedications, and more. It's a great place to find all kinds of content.

Michael Jackson RIP -- This one is currently Facebook's largest Michael Jackson memorial group, with over 180,000 members.

The Michael Jackson RIP group features an extremely active community that discusses topics ranging from his death to his career. You can also find a huge photo album of the pop star that was created through the collaborative effort of the group members. If you want to check out his greatest hits, you can also watch some of the 192 videos posted on the group's page. Michael Jackson RIP is a great group to join.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson -- Here's a group for the Michael Jackson fan who wants to remember his music accomplishments. R.I.P. Michael Jackson is filled with photos from his performances. The videos section of the page features his many music videos and other clips that use his music to augment the action on-screen.

The group's 74,000 members are extremely active. Most posts on the discussion board are debated by the users. But once again, the board tries to stick to his music accomplishments, instead of his personal life. It doesn't always succeed, but R.I.P. Michael Jackson is still worth checking out.

In memorial Michael Jackson God rest your soul in heaven,
Loved you as black because you are a start
Loved you as a white that was just a blast
Loved you as singer you the one move my soul
Loved you as dancer you move my body whole
Somehow you are legend and number one icon
I was counting days to see you in London
But I heard a bad news that I thought a joke
Times said ?you are dead? while CNN
Takes time to confirm,
But unbelievable and unquestionable you are really gone
No one was aware your mission is done
You were good you were bad and some said a king!
I just lost a word to unfold my feeling
My sorrow my sadness that makes me cry
I was over the moon to see you in July
But you are not coming or never say well by
Just without a sound hurriedly you fly
That makes me cry

Such a kind, gentle, talented, and family-oriented man...but where was his blanket? I feel like we all let you down. I hope you can hear and feel the love that's being sent your way. You were...and still are...amazing. We'll all miss you, but we'll all remember your message. <3

Ill say it over and over again......I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!!!! REST IN PEACE I still cant beleive he is gone!! I will miss him so much. He was an awesome man, musician and father. I dont care what anyone has to say (if its negative) I cry for him everyday and my heart goes out to his family. They are going through so so much right now. The memorial was the most beautiful memorial I had ever seen. Michael you are so loved by the whole world. I cried the whole time. my prayers go out to his entire family. I was not fortunate enough to meet the "GREATEST ENTERTAINER THAT EVER LIVED" but I know we will meet one day in heaven. I have two songs that I dedicate to Michael (one being his own) 1: YOU ARE NOT ALONE 2: MISSING YOU (by puff daddy) May God bless you and your family Forever and ever!!!! Love you always....................Sarah

How sad that He cannot hear so many nice ,love words that people say now... and His family,,,
So sad that " hungre for money people" was accusing him and lie a lot to get His money... And in that so difficult situation He was along, His family do not support Him.His own sister said( cannot be fire with out smoke),,, So so sad,,, why He was life no one do anything..Everyone do everything to kill Him ...Only His own kids give to Him company.
Now He cannot hear, now cannot change anything,, He is gone.. So sad for lost brilliant star,,And asking God give support and safe for Michal children.

...ok, question.

I understand that Michael Jackson had some good music in his career, no one can deny that. But even the day before he died people were still mocking him for all the crazy things that he did. He was basically the posterboy for everything that can go horribly wrong in a celebrity's life. Then, they day he died, he was an angel, the king of pop, etc., etc. What, does him being dead absolve him of everything he did?
