Sorry I'm late to this--I tivoed the service and just got around to watching it but my first reaction was he's referring to Casey and not Caylee
I rewound and wrote down verbatim what he said
LEES SPEECH
If I could ask something from anybody that was willing to hear it,it would be this: For those of us that are frightened or angry or mourneful or that just don't understand,
I ask that you fill your heart w/ patience and grace and that you allow yourself to yield any judgements you may already have. He is asking those passing judgement on his family to try to be patient and understanding.
For those of us who may never be the same again I ask that you fill your heart with hope and forgiveness,you allow yourself to cope and heal. He is telling his father to forgive himself for incriminating KC and CA to forgive GA, and that his wish is that GA allows himself to cope and heal.
Finally for those of us who have knowledge and the means to facilitate the answers that my family deserves[/B] This is intended for KC and I have a feeling others who know (We all suspect who knows what, I don't want to get banned so I will not mention the names),I ask that you fill your heart with compassion and truth and I ask that you allow your conscience to speak for you[/B] (He's asking again for KC and others to search their souls and put an end to this easily by what they know, in other words end the games and the charade)when your mind cannot comprehend the right words to say. (KC stop lying)
He appeared infuriated at the get go, he looked like he was ready and gunning as I watched him squirm in his chair before he spoke. He was intensely awaiting his turn and looked troubled and deep in thought. When he did speak you could hear him angrily tapping on the microphone. He was getting his message across while still trying to maintain the dignity of the service. I think KC pushed him way too far (that's an understatement, but maybe it was her ungrateful, spiteful statement last night. Or all that he's been holding in.
He can't bear to watch any more devastation or discord. I said to my dh, first thing I saw him today is "Oh, looks like he's next to go the GA route. "
I sincerely hope that this day allows those affected by it to take from it whatever it is that you need to take---if it's closure you seek here today I certainly hope that you're able to find it. He hopes that everyone will come [away with some peace from this service if that's what they needed and to end the insanity that has surrounded them by A haters and A supporters alike.
Today is the day to remember,Today is the day to pay tribute,Today is the dy for this family unite and display their solidarity and strength. Today is the first day of the rest of their lives to end the fighting and competition in their family. The dysfunction.
I've gotta tell you it is hard to stand up here and be the pillar of strength. This family is united (bangs fingers on pulpit) but this family is incomplete...I'm incomplete...I'm broken The price has been too high to pay, I can't take anymore !!
CMA CMA (His heart is so broken, he repeats her initials over and [COLOR over, he may have always playfully called her CMA to tease her, or he was too broken to utter her name.[/COLOR]) each day you continue to teach me about life and about the way it should be lived.Each day you give me the ability to be strong or to be weak.. (Her spirit lives on in him, it gives him strength)It's been so long since I've been able to see you or to hug you or to tell you how much you mean to me CMA I miss you,I love you CMA I am so proud of you (He is her proud uncle, she was a beautiful baby.) I hope you're proud of me too I need you to know that I will never forget the promise that I made to you I will never forget
