Paris Jackson Reunites With Mom Debbie Rowe in Rare Family Photos
Grateful is the way Katherine Jackson makes her kids feel.
The mom to the late Michael Jackson made a rare appearance alongside her daughter La Toya Jackson, 69, weeks before her 96th birthday.
In a video shared to Instagram March 10, La Toya, dressed in an all-black Coach ensemble, stood alongside Katherine as the pair attended church and smiled at the camera.
“This lovely lady will be 96 on May 4th,” the “A Taste of You” singer wrote in the caption. “A kind soul that radiates love. An inspiration to us all!”
Though Katherine—also mom to Rebbie Jackson, 75, Jackie Jackson, 74, Jermaine Jackson, 71, Marlon Jackson, 68, Randy Jackson, 64, Janet Jackson, 59, and the late Tito Jackson with late husband Joe Jackson—has kept out of the spotlight in recent years, La Toya has been vocal about her love for the matriarch.
“Her expression of love and kindness is always deeply felt!” she wrote on Instagram for Katherine’s birthday last year. “We all love you Mother!”
Of course, La Toya’s admiration for her mom was matched by her brother Michael.
"Every child thinks their mother is the greatest mother in the world, but we Jacksons never lost that feeling," the “Thriller” singer wrote in his 1998 autobiography Moonwalk. "Because of Katherine's gentleness, warmth and attention, I can't imagine what it's like to grow up without a mother's love."

Michael continued, “The lessons she taught us were invaluable. Kindness, love, and consideration for other people headed her list.”
Following his death in 2009 at the age of 50, the Grammy winner left his kids Prince Jackson, 29, Paris Jackson, 27, and Bigi Jackson, 24, in Katherine’s custody.
“Out of all the people in Michael’s life, I think Michael adored his children more than anything else,” she told Dateline in 2010. “And they adored him.”
“There’s not a day go by that I don’t think about my son,” Katherine continued. “It really has been hard. But with the friends and loved ones and family around me, I’m doing ok, especially with prayer.”
