Cindy's eulogy for Caylee

[OneLostGrl]

It was OK but for all her time in church lately, Cindy does not know her bible.

Innocent Caylee is most certainly in Heaven but she is not an angel and therefore does not have wings.

Angels are messengers of God and are not, and have not, been human.

Pehaps, like her denial, thinking this way helps to "keep her going" when she may otherwise not be able to? It's strange sometimes the things we humans grab onto...

Must we all be experts when it comes to the bible? She's lucky to be standing up! Ya know she has shut up, stopped lying to us and LE, stopped seeking out the camera, like we all wanted her to yet here we still are expecting more more more more from her.

It is a slap in the face to Tim Miller and that is wrong. He did more to find Caylee than any of the Anthony family or Kid Finders combined. It's about doing the right thing instead of being petty, which, I think Cindy is.

Okay, this is your opinion. IMO, they can decide who they want to mention, it's not my place to say who they should mention in their grandaughter eulogy. Again, no one is stopping anyone from donating to EOS or any other place. I don't know what transpired in private between them and it's none of my business. This is between them.

I am getting frustrated

Most Parents , Grandparents refer to Children who have died as Angels in Heaven

Look on the internet at the memorial pages for children who have died and you will see many of them with wings and halos photoshopped on to them.
Poems written about the child being an angel in heaven

It is used figuratively speaking.

Caylee is an Angel in Heaven, Just like My Mum is ....

 

[Who_What_When]

Yes, true, but unless it was an immaculate conception, a father IS out there. Maybe he doesn't even know who he is, was never told and and was never given the opportunity to be a part of Caylee's life. Maybe if he had, things might have turned out a lot differently. Poor, little fatherless child.

There are millions of children out there who never knew their father. I don't feel that makes them a poor little fatherless child. We don't know the situation or what kind of person he was. Not everyone has two parents.

okay peeps..let's stay on topic .

??? Everyone I know that has ever lost someone close to them has reference them as angels... whether or not it's in the bible, it's pretty custom to do so.

I feel sorry for any child that does not have the opportunity to experience life in a happy home with a married mother and father who love each other. They have such a harder road ahead of them (imo). I sure hope your statistic of "millions of children" that are fatherless is an exaggeration, otherwise it would be a travesty (imo).

:blowkiss: I was playin'- just joking. I'm a felon.. no biggie. I saw the nature and negativity of the thread (not implying you were the one being negative :blowkiss and thought I'd make a joke, perhaps lighten the mood a bit.

I'm aware of the Milsteads and their combined nastiness. :sick:

Thanks, sometimes it's hard to read what someone is really saying,
if you know what I mean. This thread has more ups and downs than Wall St and I shouldn't have let it put me in a rotten mood:blowkiss:

 

[Gracenote]

okay peeps..let's stay on topic .

This thread is like a car wreck. I can't stop coming back to look, even though it is awful to look at. I am amazed at your patience.

According to Families and Living Arrangements: 2006, there were 12.9 million one-parent families in 2006 — 10.4 million single-mother families and 2.5 million single-father families.

On a side note, not all two parent families have a happy loving home. Who knows what kind of guy he was, maybe a one night stand who wanted nothing to do with the baby, maybe he didn't know, maybe he didn't care. There is no law stating that a father must be named on a birth certificate.

 

[TxLady2]

He's not on the Birth Certificate and wasn't in her life, so their is no reason why he would be mentioned. Normally in an eulogy the people mentioned are the immediate family members who were a part of their life.

I agree with you 100%! Why mention him, if he is known, if he was never a part of her life. CAYLEE never knew him in life, so why should he get a mention because of her death? It won't matter to Caylee at all, and should not matter to anyone else.
I've known several kids who went through their whole life without ever knowing their fathers, and it didn't affect how they turned out. They might have been curious, and wondered where he was, but they turned out just fine anyway. In fact, one young man said he was probably better off not knowing him, because he could have been a lot worse because of him.

 

[FightTheOstrich]

Because the people who run KFN are criminals. There's a few threads around here you can search for that will get you up to speed on Kidfinders.

We should all send lots and lots of flowers. Actually, I think I will send a donation this week to TES in memory of Caylee.

 

[FightTheOstrich]

I wonder why there is no mention of Caylee's father or his family??? Shouldn't it say she was pre-deceased by her father "......" and mention his parents' names?

they probably used his more socially acceptable..., oh I'm not going to even say it.

ITA- It is often the case that there is no father involved for all the right reasons.

Also, I am not sure I understand your stats. You stated earlier that millions of children are "fatherless." That means without a father (like Caylee). It seems as if your stats are about single parent homes, not fatherless children. Two completely different things. Kids can live with their moms and still very much have their father in their lives.

 

[FightTheOstrich]

I think it's important we all remember that in real life we frequently can disagree with people that we really like and we think are intelligent, and that our opinions may change as more is revealed.

I hate to say it, but I think that if C & G went into LE and said, "we don't care what happens to us (eg forget about immunity), we want to assist you in your investigation", that life would be much different for the As, even if they continued to love Casey. I think until they do that, the idea of them being able to appear in public without "disruption" is highly unlikely. There's a reason KC is in protective custody, because these sorts of crimes make many people angry.

Hopefully those angry people will stay a long way away from the memorial. I hope it is wonderful, all about Caylee, and that Cindy gives a beautiful eulogy all about Caylee!

Until they hold KC responsible for Caylee's murder then they have no right helping other missing children. This is the last family I would call for help if my child was missing. Instant integrity issues. I would have better luck calling Ghost Busters.

Nicely said. They are trying to bring something, somehow good out of this nightmare. My sister donated her body to medical research because she appreciated how much they did for her when she was dying of cancer. Some of our relatives gave me he** about abiding by her wishes, (how could I let them cut her to pieces? How could I deprive them of a funeral with a real body? How could I let her be cremated afterwards?) but it was her way of trying to make something positive out of a horrible, brutal, unfair death. So I let people rage as they desired and did what I thought was best. In the end, that's what everyone has to do.

First, I'm sorry for your loss, you must have loved your sister very much.

You could have explained to your relatives that you had no choice, it was a done deal. If they are an adult, the family can do nothing about it, once they sign those papers. I am sorry they gave you such a hard time about it, but they should have respected her wishes and not blamed you.

Mine either.....rather sad to see so many 'bashing' prolly what is only a small part of what Cindy will actully say.......the memorial is to be two hours long, is GA speaking, LA, other family members/friends ???

I doubt Cindy's brief eulogy written 'for the press' is going to be all that's said.

I wasn't giving exact statistics when I said millions. When you asked I looked and this is what I found. A lot of single parent homes are fatherless homes. It doesn't mean that they were never in their child's life or that they were in their child's life. All I'm saying is that there are a lot of people who never knew thier father and it doesn't mean they are "poor fatherless children". I'm sure they wouldn't want the pity as I've known quite a few people who never knew their father and they are perfectly happy. I've also known people who wished they never knew their father. It doesn't always take two parents to make a good home.
