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

[Brini]

I seriously hope that no-ones family member gets ill and some "friends" want to hold a memorial for them before they are pronounced dead. Just wondering if you would attend?

Caylee is dead, not ill.

I wish she was ill. There would at least still be hope.

What was that about LP going to the Anthony's?

And where is Murt going?

 

[Brini]

Hmmm ratings perhaps ???? I guess he's there doing it just from the goodness of his heart ??

Did I not hear something about getting back at Casey???

Well, here's my take.

LP has LOST money. He already HAD the fame and the ratings, so there's not much to gain, there.

My guess is that, like he said, Caylee reminds him of his grandkids.

Also, he's a law school grad. Which means that he respects, or is at least conscious of the law.

You may notice that he's choked up over Caylee a few times, in public. Which is more grief than that family have ever expressed.

MOO

For those of you who disagree, think of it this way:
There should only be 1 memorial or funeral for a single person.

That is incorrect. Many times there are several memorial services for people. Famous people have had multiple memorial services for them, many by people who never met them but only knew them through the various media. Think the Queen Mother, Princess Diana, John Lennon, George Harrison, Andy Gibb, Elvis, the people killed during the Sept. 11th attacks, those killed in the Oklahoma City bombing, college and school students killed on their own campuses, Memorial Day and Veterans Day (today) when services are held in many, many locations in memory of those who fought for our country and our right to free speech, freedom of religion (not freedom FROM religion, freedom of the press, the right to vote, etc.

There is no law that says a person is allowed only one memorial service held only by family members.

 

[Brini]

They aren't Caylee's family or friends for that matter ! The memorial should have their blessing or not have it at all. Spiteful if you ask me ! No good intentions at all....

I'm sorry you feel that way. Sorry for YOU.

 

[Brini]

Sorry, Vickiev! I was referencing this part of your post. I should have been clearer.

Regarding them not concerned enough to find her before 31 days.. Umm, they spoke with Casey all the time, didnt think anything was wrong..

I dunno. CA has told two different stories, about that: 1) she couldn't get hold of KC for days, and 2) they spoke every day.

I wish the sound was better............I had my volume up all the way, as well as the volume set on the video, and still had trouble hearing it.

 

[Brini]

Thank you.. but I still don't see where I ever said that there weren't problems at home.. I said, from what you have quoted me on, "umm, they spoke with Casey all the time, they didnt think anything was wrong"..Maybe I should have been clearer though..They didn't think Casey harmed her child..That's what I meant by wrong (if that's what you are referring to)..

Well, CA was concerned enough about KC's irresponsibility to have consulted a counselor. CA was about to throw her out of the house. They knew KC lies every time she opens her mouth, and steals frequently. CA often told KC that she was an unfit mother.

Why in the name of heaven would a person of sense assume that everything is OK, if their irresponsible and felonious daughter has the child, and they have had no contact, for weeks?

If I was KC's mom, she would have had to walk over my dead body to take the baby away for a month And, I would have called out the cavalry the FIRST time she couldn't put the baby on the phone.

MOO

Tony Padilla was the Bail Bondsman on the Bond - I didn't mean that he put up the Money (500k) what I meant was he made the (50k) as a commision for writing the Bond - I asked Tony this & he did not deny it

I

LP said he personally put up the money, on NG.

 

[Chilly Willy]

The cross was found in August. The pointy green stuff was stiil under the wet brown stuff, honey.

According to LP, the picture was TAKEN when the cross was found, in August. I don't see any wet brown stuff.

 

[Brini]

LP didn't even bother to research the case before becoming involved and he admits that himself. He saw the media attention and came running in waving his $50k around trying to buy into it. He's gotten way more than his money's worth. People talk about how sly and smart LP is - I believe it, the man is brilliant, and it's all in his own self interest.

I agree with the FBI dude who said whatever LP says can be taken to the bank - LP is definitely taking it to the bank.

Really? What profits as he made? It looks like he has SPENT money, on this case.

 

[Brini]

Those words never came out of my mouth..I never said they didn't have problems at home..

Casey was Caylee's mother.. Some might think CA was controlling, but obviously Casey is a tough cookie, and I think that when it came to Caylee, Casey probably called most of the shots, which she should have, because she is the child's mother! CA didn't have any control over that fact.. So she did the best she could! I think she was a great grandmother, and think it's horrible that they are being treated the way they are..

Sociopaths are often bad parents. That's WHY grandparents often sue for custody.

Having given birth does not make one a mother.

MOO.

I can't stand to listen to him talk anymore. Can't he at least take that toothpick out if his mouth while being interviewed?

 

[Brini]

Done in a respectful manner there is nothing wrong with people having a memorial for Caylee. That being said, we all know this will provide the A's another moment of high drama, threats and ramblings.

IMHO, the A's would have shown up and pitched a hissy if there had been a marshmallow roast for Caylee.

 

[yosande]

I read about the memorial service on the daily updates, then voted that it's ok to have a memorial without the family's blessing. It sounded like a nice tribute to Caylee. It did help just reading about to bring peace to me concerning Caylee.
When asked why LP was doing this, he said, "Because no one else is doing it? Do you want to do it?" This makes sense to me, and is a good response. So though I questioned LP's motives, it still ended up being a nice thing to do for Caylee.
So, my hats off to ya LP.

Let me see here, the title of this thread is about the memorial NOW prayer service. Let's keep it on the prayer service, so members who have not viewed the thread today can read the "what happened" rather then the "LP" stuff on the negative side.

LP did what he thought was a good thing and let's just keep it that way.

 

[Brini]

Yeah we wouldn't want them getting upset at people holding a memorial for a child they believe is alive, run by some cowboy getting the last of his 15 minutes (hopefully)!
They love the drama !!

LP is one of the two or three MOST famous bounty hunters in the country. He was famous before this case, and he'll be famous after. The case is not doing much, for him, IMHO.

His habidashery aside, however, Sacto is not known for cowboys. I doubt that LP really IS one. ;-)

 

[Brini]

Maybe he's selling Caylee purses when nobody is looking???? lol

Oh, no! You just gave me an HILARIOUS visual of GA in a trench coat, with purses hanging inside!

Respectfully, I disagree with you. I also feel you have as much right to state your opinion as any one else

Thank you for allowing me my opinion. Sadly so many posters on this site and others dont allow for opinions that aren't of their own. Thats why I stayed offline for a while. Everyone needs to understand that while other peoples opinions may not be their own, it is their right to form their own opinions.... and again, I sincerely thank you for allowing me to form my own.

I agree with you that LP has been taken advantage of - which I might guess doesnt happen that often with him. Yes, he truly wants to find Caylee and bring her home to rest. We all want that. I just thought that having a memorial was in bad taste. In watching the video I do now see that it was a prayer vigil - which is perfectly fine and perfectly acceptable.

Yes RG is an eloquent speaker, but I still stand by my opinion that he wants
something more from all the attention he is getting. Way back in July when I was first told about WS's I know he was very unhappy with what was being said about his son. While I truly believe that JG really does love Caylee in his heart, I have to wonder about RG's motives. Do I think he doesnt care about Caylee and what happened to her - absolutely not. I am sure he still has love in his heart for her. But we need to remember - he did turn away from both Casey and Caylee after they broke up. He wanted nothing to do with any of them. Do I wonder if his feelings would be different if this tragedy didnt unfold - nope. He probably would still resent KC very much as what she did to his son. And sorry - I have been reading RG's blog for a long while (much longer than Caylee has been missing). There is something about his motives that I will question. I do hope I am wrong and will admit it in the long run, but a former actor still has some acting in him.

I agree that LP may have said something that were hurtful, but don't feel a lick sorry for her after she called Tim a drunk who feels guilty about his own daughters death.When you do and say bad things, it comes back to you a hundred fold, just maybe CA's own hands slapped her back.

Bold mine. OMG, she said that? When? Not that I disbelieve, but that has got to be one of the most hateful things I have ever heard in my entire life. I am gobsmacked that anyone could say such a thing.
