3 years ago today, pop superstar Michael Jackson passed away at the all-too-soon age of 50 while in the midst of preparing for his “This Is It” tour. Heartbroken fans, young and old united in their grief and love for the magical musician and his televised memorial was watched by millions.

And it looks like that love is still as active as it ever was: his fans gathered funds to have 10,000 roses sent to his final resting place at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. TMZ was told by a popular L.A. based “King of Pop” fan group that they used social media to obtain the money for the flowers to commemorate the anniversary of his death.

In an even sweeter gesture, half of the flowers will be “sent to senior centers and other places where they can be used to make people happy” after today. Considering they are for someone who truly promoted love above all else, I believe Michael would adore that.

Rest always, MJ. You are forever missed.
