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

[yankeesbelle04]

Just curious Geek and Vickie - what would it take or how would it come about that you would finally believe your grandchild wasn't ever coming home and that your child was responsible for the death?

This is an honest question - no bashing intended. You want us to understand the Anthonys, the answer to this will help us. And if you say find a body, just remember that is what we were doing all weekend and today - partially to help the Anthonys get the desperately needed closure...

You said it..a body..that is my honest answer..I'm sorry if you don't like it..

I never said that having the search shouldn't happen.. I think that LP having a "memorial" for her, well, that's just inappropriate.. This man has defamed this family so much.. When I think of all of the hurt this family has felt from his lies, how could they not be angry about this??

If Caylee could choose, the Anthony's are the people she loved most in the whole world. Actually Casey was too.

Yes they were. They were also the ones who failed her. All of them!:furious:

The picture was taken in August. Beads were found at the base of the tree this weekend but the cross is no longer there. OMG people.

The picture is obviously taken within a day of the cross being hung. It is pristinely clean and the leaves attached to it are still alive. If the photo is taken in August and Casey was arrested July 16th clearly this cross in this photo has nothing to do with Casey.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

I really believe that photo is of the wrong cross and not the one in question. I think this is the one left for NG instead. There is a mix up, imo.

If you are planning a memorial service for me and if I have disappeared and there is evidence of human decomposition in the main suspect's vehicle and you have a hair that could be mine with a death band on it (or that hair could also belong to certain people who are not missing but either incarcerated or disrupting your search for me) then:

By all means please proceed with the service.:blowkiss:

I won't care if you call it a memorial or a vigil or a day at the beach. Observant prayer by any other name is just that...It's observant prayer. If there is some God up there who is rejecting messages from services because the label on the name of the services is incorrect, that's big news in my opinion. rayer:

Add me to that list...have a memorial, say a prayer, and hopefully wonderful memories.

What is so hard to understand here ? The family doesn't believe she is dead...Caylee's family is NOT writing her off YET...who's business is it for anyone else to do so????

The protesters were wrong to harrass this family and so is LP and anyone else that attends this ridiculous "event" it is not appropriate at this time

Why now? Was LP made a fool of again when his "divers" couldn't find her body?.... You bet he was......

The Anthonys are the ONLY ones being made a fool of that I have seen, and they are doing it to themselves.

I admire LP for his endless pursuit in this and I will tell you I personally would NOT want that man after ME..............

They better look around every corner, because I will guarantee he has someone watching every move.

My man Leonard! He's out there giving his all to find Caylee. Cindy should hide in shame at how much more effort this man is putting towards it than her. She showed her true colors once again today, and I'm sure again tomorrow as well.

GO LEONARD!!

From what I read yesterday, the cross left for Natalie was not found in a tree...and it was found during the search yesterday. Surely it wasn't spotlessly clean.

Where did this photo come from?

Good point. There is NO WAY DCF would ever let any child reside in that household after this. There is potential for harm from all of those people with their random acts of violence all documented. I believe that was a violent household before this occurred. Cindy choking KC in front of Caylee would be enough to keep a child out of that household, much less all the violence on protesters.

How long would it take most people to crack in the face of constant emotional harm? How long would it take, hearing people standing across from your house screaming "Caylee is dead!!", hour after hour, day after day, before losing it? And we mustn't forget the protesters that tried to drag GA down his driveway and shoved CA when she tried to stop them, or things being thrown at their house.

The A's have been the victims of extreme provocation at the hands of the protesters, and I'm not saying that I condone anyone's behavior when it comes to violent actions, but I can understand the A's striking back. Provocation is sometimes used as grounds for the defense in a criminal trial for a reason.

It is a strong social custom in America to have a memorial service of some kind for the recently deceased. It is the community's way of bringing closure and saying goodbye. The benefit of a memorial service goes to the community, the public. The family can choose to be or not to be part of that public.

:blowkiss: ITA. I just hope if they decide to be part of the public they do it with some respect toward the child they claim they loved.

A fool because he was out searching for a precious child..and you call this man a fool simply because he didn't find her where he thought she might have been?

Ridiculous Event to give tribute to a child that the Grandparents will not even look for, the mother refuses to tell LE where she is and the father is awol, the only loving Family at this point it seems is America and if America wants to memorialize this precious child because her family refuses to do so then I say for LP to go for it. LP has shown more love, respect and concern for Caylee than her own family, ridicule is not in order.
What do you call KC she know where this baby is and wont tell.

Where did this photo come from?

Did Jay Blanchard park flood this summer?

That is what this is all about........CAYLEE and the wonderful memories of her very short life..............

It is not about the Anthonys, or even their psychopath of a daughter -

it is about CAYLEE !!

 

[butwhatif?]

With respect, we dont need a public memorial to say our goodbyes, celebrate her short life, or anything else.
I light a candle for her each day, send up my prayers and remember her by watching all the videos of her infectious giggle, how safe she felt with her family, and how much she loved them....All the good stuff to counter the bad that we hear and read about everyday.
Anyone who has fallen in love with Caylee, should know that the last thing this beautiful little girl would have wanted is all this ugliness.
Justice needs to be served. But anything beyond that, imo, is what would keep Caylee from resting peacefully...And that is all that I can wish for her now.

I love that Caylee is teaching me so much....definately patience (i'm struggling with that one a bit though...lol)And forgiveness....because being angry and placing blame achieves nothing but more negativity, more pain, more ugliness.
She reminds me everyday that I'm never too busy to give my girls a cuddle or to watch their new dance moves 50 times over.(they are great moves too. )
She reminds me that there are no guarantees in this life, that every moment counts. That one moment can change the lives of so many people.
She's taught me that I dont care about being 'right', i just wanna be happy.
And I think thats the best kind of memorial for Caylee. Even though she's gone, she's making a diffence in peoples lives, for the better....
Ok, time for me to sign off...Emily is saying right now "mummy, watch this!!" More of those new dance moves to see......
Thanks Caylee:blowkiss:

PS- IIRC he planned on the sevice before today's search, but I'm old so who knows.

Yes across all the roads.

You said it..a body..that is my honest answer..I'm sorry if you don't like it..

I never said that having the search shouldn't happen.. I think that LP having a "memorial" for her, well, that's just inappropriate.. This man has defamed this family so much.. When I think of all of the hurt this family has felt from his lies, how could they not be angry about this??

Thanks for your honest answer Vickiev...I just guess that if I was Cindy, I might have tearfully asked him to consider postponing it because to me it would symbolize giving up hope that Caylee might be alive and that I am just not ready to do that yet. That it would be terrbly difficult for my family and me.

I would NOT stomp up to the man with my overbearing screaming banshee ways and demand anything! You may be right about the feelings but once again she has proven to have no "appropriateness" herself. You can't muscle people into doing what you want in life and consider yourself successful. She would have had a better chance of success in her endeavor by using a little couth and ASKING for some sympathy and compassion! IMO LP is human ya know -

Something about this memorial doesn't sit right with me. I wish LP would just let it be and stop interfering. I think when the A's are ready to admit that Caylee is gone, they will have a memorial for her and this will be done in their time.

I really believe that the A's are suffering and are in denial/mourning. This is really getting out of hand and like TM said, "it's turning into a circus".

I think LP should leave there never come back to Orlando. And never do another NG. He is using Caylee just as the A's are doing. He butted in and messed up the whole search for Caylee, trying to come in and take over.What he did at the search and today is wrong, wrong, wrong.I believe the beads just happen to be put
there "as in set up by LP". He is keeping the wheels spinning any way he can in his directions. Caylee is lost again in this LP & NG madness. I am through with NG & LP and the A's, its not about a little girl anymore. But as they say, the show must go on.You didn't hear much from NG tonight, that should tell us all something there!
Tim is right, LP is taking over with NG and Caylee again pays. So, so sad. I am so sick about this,I am mad about all this, I have cried, talked to God, prayed, searched & now I just want to put it in Gods hands and say to little Caylee I am so sorry this has happened.And no I do not think there should be a memorial, what right does LP have to decide that this is the time & place where the little baby died, what right does LP have to say this is the time & place to have a memorial for a baby girl that has not been found ? He makes things up as he goes, he doesn't know any more than we do, he just wants people to think he does.
Now that I have got a little off my chest, I am going to go to bed, say my prayers and put all my worries in Gods hands, He's gona be up all night anyway.
