How do you feel about the memorial service planned for Caylee?

[Brini]

how is it any different than the vigils they held ?

It isn't, Mom.

Has anyone watched CNN?

Has anyone watched CNN?

No, why?

 

[Brini]

...especially the searchers...they need to be able to come together to pray and find comfort. So if LP wants to give them this opportunity...good for him. (and I'm not a big LP fan but believe these folks especially need support)

Then, good on you!

 

[Brini]

If and when that happens will be the appropriate time for a memorial service, conducted by someone who has not repeatedly trashed the family publicly.

How about someone whom the As have not trashed, publicly?

 

[Pink Panther]

No, why?

Apparently LP was on and someone said that CA was accusing him of stealing clothing and beads???

 

[Brini]

LOL...I should have worded that better. I 'think' a murder conviction would be legal proof that Caylee is deceased - and therefore a death certificate will be issued by the court.

~Thank you, Dolce, and Happy Birthday to you too! Here, have some of this delicious cake.~

Here, folks! Have some champers!

That would exactly be......NOBODY.

you actually see some people who think since they have followed Caylee's case for 16 weeks that Caylee actually belongs more to them than to her own family or that they love Caylee more than the people who actually know her. It's really strange. I could certainly imagine searchers feeling the need to hold a prayer service, but it's a shame this turned into a memorial service. Caylee is missing. Her body has not been found. It isn't appropriate to memorialize her as if she is dead. Holding prayer vigils, absolutely, tying yellow ribbons to trees or her grandparents' mailbox hoping for her return, absolutely. But this wasn't just prayers, it was a wreath placed by a river, statements that they believe she is in the river dead, etc, not appropriate at this time. Very sad. It sounds like Mr.Grund had suggested they not call it a memorial but instead have a prayer vigil, which Mr. Padilla agreed to, but in the end unfortunately it somehow still turned into a memorial.

 

[Brini]

respectfully...... I don't think they were looking for their 15 minutes at the price of their grandaughter. But all these others were not asked to be involved, they put themselves in this case... for what reason? and who cares about KC ?? What her parents do should have no effect on justice being served, it would be a sad thing if that statement were true.

Well, SOME of these folks who the As now hate were invited by them, to begin with. Like TM. CA ASKED him to come. They also welcomed LP.. or at least, his bail money. NG is involved because covering cases on TV is her job.

Whom else shall we discuss?

What KCs parents do, if it's lying and obstructing, has QUITE an effect on justice being, served since they are closest to the situation.

LP is on Headline News Now

 

[Brini]

How do you know what they will "never" do?

Because lying and obstructing the investigation does not seem indicative of caring. MOO

Headline News is talking about the vigil now, with Leonard. I heard that too about the beads.

Getting together for a public prayer vigil, absolutely, power to them, tying yellow ribbons to trees or her grandparents' mailbox hoping for her return, absolutely. But this wasn't just prayers, it was flowers placed by a river, statements that they believe she is in the river dead, etc, not appropriate at this time. Very sad. It sounds like Leonard Padilla and Mr.Grund first thought about having a memorial, then Mr. Grund suggested they not call it a memorial but instead have a prayer vigil, which Mr. Padilla agreed to, but in the end unfortunately it somehow still turned into a memorial.

PattyG has posted on this issue and LP just stated again on Headline News, that this was a prayer service, not a memorial service. If you listen to the actual service, not once does Rev G call it a memorial service. It was beautiful.

 

[Brini]

The same can be said for LP... he couldn't have given a call to the A's beforehand regarding a funeral service for their granddaughter?


I totally agree with you that this would be far more appropriate at this time and under these circumstances. I can't help but notice that even here in this thread, in discussing things like prayer vigils and memorial services for little Caylee, the hatred and rage against the grandparents she loved has to be included.

What would you expect, when the grandparents constantly lie to OCSO, and will not cooperate with the FBI (after they AGREED to do). How about the attempts to obstruct the gathering of evidence? The changes of story, even on the witness stand, under oath (during the bond hearing)?

Their behaviors appear to be SOLELY geared to protecting the apparent killer of this child.

What's to like or respect?

Would the child not still be alive had they sued for custody? They KNEW KC could not be trusted with objects or vehicles, much less a child.

MOO

 

[Brini]

If anyone ever wants to hold a memorial service for me, I'd really appreciate if they'd wait until I was officially declared deceased, please.

DANG! Honey, we've already sent out the invites! ;-)

 

[seagull65]

Clearly Mr. Grund had genuine emotions behind this service and he had asked that it be a prayer vigil, not a memorial, no wreath by the river, etc.

 

[Balthazar]

Who would hold a memorial for someone else's child while that child is still missing and obviously the family are still hoping beyond hope (as any family would be) that she is alive? Not to mention the fact that a memorial should include the family in the planning and should follow their wishes. If somebody really felt the need to have a memorial now, it should have been a private one out of the public eye.

I really like Leonard Padilla but I hope he and the other organizers of this memorial do apologize to Caylee's family. I just can't imagine if my child were missing and someone did this.

What is the rush to have a service now? That sounds more like people wanting fast closure and an end to this for themselves.

I agree 100%, 1000%!!!

Guess I am not understanding.....was it a memorial or a vigil? Does it really matter? Wasn't the point that people who love and care about this precious baby came together and prayed for her? Had a moment in time that was just for Caylee?

 

[GenealogyKR]

Memorial, no. LP did not hold a memorial, he held a vigil. Some people have a heart. LP is one of them.
