Jackson's mom hoping bouquets send message of love

CALABASAS, Calif. (AP) -April 28, 2011

The mother of Michael Jackson says the floral outpouring by fans after the singer's death nearly two years ago consoled her and let her know she wasn't alone in her grief.

The feeling of receiving flowers is one of the reasons Jackson says she agreed to allow her name to be attached to six bouquets being sold by the website sendherflowers.com.

While flowers help lift her spirits, Katherine Jackson says she has "mixed emotions" about the upcoming trial of the doctor charged in her son's death. She says she doesn't believe the four years in prison the physician faces is punishment enough.
