I am popping in really quick to input some info (I hardly have any, to be honest.)
However, the memorial pages were not attacked by AL, or anyone familiar with AL, IMO. It was another site that I really don't want to name here per Google. But, they have been called the "bullies of the internet" or "where the internet goes to die", etc. etc. They make news quite a bit, recently they helped find the lady that stuck the cat in the trash can. So, it's not the church attacking her memorial pages (well, not that MUCH), it's another site with equal/more trolls .. if you can believe that or not.
Also, I believe the GF's name starts with a M, IIRC.
