Caylee Marie Anthony #104 2/07/09 - 2/10/09

Oh and this paragraph of it...

"The family is requesting that those with only the purest of hearts and truly honorable intentions attend the service for their beloved child. This service will be a tribute to her life and a time for her family and friends to finally be together to openly express and share their love for her."

does this mean the family can't attend?? And they say "finally be together to openly express and share their love for her" well didnt the public, friends and family do that while that little girl was missing and after she was found and the anthony's basically threw it at everyone's face?? They even had outbursts on film throwing things that were to show the mourning of people and their sympathies. I feel they ALREADY had their PUBLIC memorial..and they tossed it back...had their chance, may as well make this private, too many disgusted people im sure remember having all their love thrown back at them by this hateful family.

To them it stopped being about Caylee a long time ago...it then became all about THEM.

BRAVO!  AMEN!  SING IT AGAIN! 

LOL oh i knew it would get me ugly if i said anything about this article...and there it is lol

Good Morning Monks........old and new, Dolce and  little Dolces! This entire Memorial has turned into a cin-cin money making scheme IMO! I think her 'grieving' period is over and once again cin-cin has to be in the spotlight!  What a disgrace she is to all grieving families past, present and future. For her to even think about denying entrance to ANYONE is a disgrace to her, her family and to Caylee's memory!  I hope does show up and I hope it is all caught by the media. I hope people will not go to cin-cin's show and congregate at the crime scene and honor Caylee there.....a place where all would be welcome.

Good morning Sunny lovely to see you here today.  You have a great idea, bypass the Anthony Circus all together and congregate at the crime scene in honor of Caylee!  Everyone bring a candle and share in the presence of others who are grieving over the loss of innocence at the hands of evil.  Allow the Anthonys to grieve in peace, after all thats "all they have ever asked for".

There are IMO going to be many there who are going to try to get that special photo to sell to the tabloids. They can have all the metal detectors they want.....someone(s) IS going to get a teeny camera in and get that one special picture!  IMO that's what cin-cin is really worried about! Someone getting a picture and selling it and SHE not getting the money. As well as her need to be in control and being in the spotlight!! It is NOT about Caylee..................it's about money!

Clipped from the eulogy:

Because of this outpouring of compassion, the family will continue to honor Caylee's memory by establishing the Caylee Marie Anthony Foundation. The foundation's purpose will be to continue to generate awareness for missing children and to establish programs to assist in the well-being of those children in need of comfort and support during difficult and stressful times.


In this case what was needed is for someone to STOP this narcissist girl Casey from having children.  This case has nothing to do with awareness about missing children and everything to do with a mother killing her own child.  Caylee was never actually missing.

Good Morning everyone, I totally agree with what you just wrote. Now Cindy is going to speak at the memorial, I hope she does this proper and only speaks about Caylee's life and doesn't mention Casey, will be interesting to watch.

Good morning!! I wonder if  brother Rick will be allowed in? He was very vocal. Will cin-cin turn her own brother away should he show up?

Good Morning everyone, I totally agree with what you just wrote. Now Cindy is going to speak at the memorial, I hope she does this proper and only speaks about Caylee's life and doesn't mention Casey, will be interesting to watch.

Oh no, I would place a bet on this if I could, Cindy is going to mention what a crime it is that Casey can not attend her own daughters funeral and how she is a victim in all of this too.  I would bet huge Benji's on that.

This is what is making me nervous, you can bet that if Cindy goes that route and talks about Casey, there will be people outraged in that church, and I'm afraid there will be trouble. And then if you have that group from the Westboro Baptist Church on the outside causing trouble, this is not going to turn out good. This high security alone, they must be expecting trouble. I am hoping sometime today that I read that this is going to be cancelled.

[SunnyinTX]

Please don't feel that I am bashing your posts here.  Replying to your post that I noted in red.  Yes, Cindy definitely did LOVE CAYLEE and did everything for her when she was alive.  I just wish she would CONTINUE TO LOVE CAYLEE...and do what is right when it comes to this investigation.  PUT CAYLEE FIRST...Let Justice Be Served.

I think  this is what has so many of us in disbelief and up in arms........ it is no longer about Caylee in the A's mind...but about casey.......and $$$$'s

  I am too sad for words today perhaps you should all ignore me but with what is happening in Victoria and the outpouring of grief and support evident amongst all Australians I see societies ability to put hatred and misunderstandings aside and to unite to assist those in need. Most of all I see us here united for little Caylee above all else and I know and I think everyone else knows that Cindy was probably the best thing in her life and she would want people to stop hating her nanny, she didn't kill her.

Sharlock I saw your post yesterday and wrote you a really long response. I didn't get a response from you, or any one else for that matter. I took a long time writing it, so I decided I will repost it again this morning because I don't know how many actually read it yesterday. I just wanted to explain why I feel that most feel the way they do about CA & GA too. Of course I'm only speaking for myself in this post, so maybe no one else feels this way but I'll post it again anyhow.

QM from yesterday (2/8/09)
Sharlock I understand what you are saying. I do have some empathy for C&G, as I think many do, but you can only let that empathy go so far before anger & especially frustration come into play. I don't doubt for one second the G&C loved Caylee with all their heart & they did take very good care of her for her very short life. I could see CA's heartbreak in that lost jail tape. I know they tried to get the "truth" from KC, GA tried to be "truthful" when he spoke w/LE. But it seemed everytime that they got in front of the media, they were not the same people we see "behind the scenes". It seemed, to me atleast, in front of a news camera it was all about saving KC & that Caylee was still alive and out there to be found. I am sure, atleast deep down, they knew Caylee was no longer alive, but they seemed to put that aside to save KC instead. It seemed to be more important to let the public believe Caylee were alive and that KC didn't & wouldn't harm her. They had the opportunity, IMO, to look for Caylee even in a way they didn't want to, but they threw that opportunity away and went on the alive/KC is a wonderful mom campaign. That is where I believe many's anger & frustration towards CA comes from. G&C knew there was a decomposing body in KC's trunk & they knew their granddaughter was missing for over a month, yet they refused to look for a dead child. I can understand some denial, because who wants to believe their grandchild is dead? But, that denial should not have stopped them from looking for Caylee and the most likely possibility she would not be found alive. I don't think anyone would tell the A's to not stand by KC (regardless of what she's done) or that they shouldn't still love her. But, I hope they are not going to go on a new campaign stating KC is innocent and wouldn't have done that to Caylee. We know the evidence (and probably not even all of it) & it all leads back to KC & to their home. So if they do start a new campaign, it will only further people's frustration about them. If they had tons of evidence that showed otherwise, that would be different, but we know they don't because if they did we'd have heard about it long ago. I do still have some empathy/sympathy for C&G, but as I said it only goes so far. I know they didn't ask for what happened to Caylee/them, but it's everything that has happened after all they knew that makes this so hard to have alot of sympathy. I just wish, for their sake, they could do right by Caylee. Put their differences with others aside, & surround themselves with good people who truly want to help them. I wish them all the luck in the world with their endeavours. I just wish they'd do things for the right reasons, that's all.

Thankyou QM and I am sorry I missed the post earlier I am a little sleep deprived at the moment. I understand I truly do and I felt the same way. I am not okay with this part of what she did but I remember everyone saying that if Cindy got out of the spotlight and stopped asking for public scrutiny she wouldn't get any and now she has done that so I feel like it is our turn to do our part. She deserves a right to grieve in peace. I hated what she did with Caylee's case but I feel it is what she did for Caylee while she was alive that matters more and when the hate gets so strong that people can no longer bring themselves to admit that she ever loved Caylee and instead say she probably wanted this to happen I think we all have to admit it has gone too far.
The one thing I feel most of all though and what made me feel so guilty about the way I gained a bit of joy and satisfaction from dumping on Cindy happened when I was listening to a memorial song for Caylee. I really am not trying to defend everything Cindy has done I don't even feel some of it is defendable but Caylee! Caylee was cared for by her grandmother, noone else went out and worked to raise her and then devoted holidays to spending time with her. Cindy loved that child while she was alive and Caylee must have loved her back with all of the unconditional love of a child and I feel like I made Caylee cry, I feel like I let her down because she never wanted anyone to hurt her grandma no matter what she did. So I do understand what you hav said and I am greatful for your response and maybe when it comes down to it I wasn't really concerned about what others were saying but what I had said.

sharlock, I completely agree with you. I know Cindy hasn't done a lot of the right things, but I think the hate has gone way too far. JMO.

Thanks Fuzzball!

For what it's worth and I know that isn't much,I don't think Padilla should be at the ceremony right along with a few others.He and them had their memorial service already and said their goodbye's to Caylee.If I lived in Orlando,I would go but I would quietly sit outside and pray.I can't help to wonder if their is really going to be the turn out that they expect.I doubt seriously people will be taking a day off from work to attend..Jmo of course..

While I agree with you that LP probably should refrain from attending, I must say that Cindy could have gone about letting him know she does not wish for him to be there in a much better way.  Why the need to proclaim it in the news?  Why the need for her attorney to say it in a presser?  "Those who are not alloud to attend, you know who you are", what purpose does that serve other than to stir up more controversy cause more chaos and push Caylee to the backseat yet again.

I think Dolce,the shame is that anyone would even have to be told period..This whole thing will be nothing but a spectacle and utter chaos." "Those who are not alloud to attend, you know who you are""..
I myself can think of a few that should know not go,can you? I never saw any reason at all to have a public ceremony because of this very reason.Caylee was,isn't,and should not receive celebrity status.She was an innocent little girl slaughtered by her mother like so many before her.I think of Susan Smith's children and that service and breaking down when I saw the Father of those children exiting the church.I don't expect those same emotions tomorrow will flood my soul.I myself said goodbye to Caylee long ago and did my crying and grieving already.For me,it's only about seeing justice for her..jmo

Good Morning Monkeys...Just need to add my 2 cents to the conversation....I have buried so many in my family....3 grandparents in 10 months....2 aunts and my Dad in a 10 month period....my only brother just a few short years ago....my son-in-law ...and to this day I can't tell you WHO was at any of the funerals.If you are truly grieving the loss of a loved one, WHO is there is not of importance. I was just thankful for everyone who cared enough to attend.

I read his blog not long ago(maybe and hour) and there was no response to the memorial the last blog was from the 6th Feb but he has changed his login comment as of today and he is angry. He said that they should never have stirred him up and he has put his lamb back in its cage and brought out the lion. There is no other explanation about why he was angry or maybe frustrated I forget which mood he put but the words seem full of anger and my first reaction is that he has been told he is not invited, That was only my guess though.

Thank-you I could not have said that better, I also was very thankful for all the people who attended my families funerals.

You're so right. Unless something major happened with those people, you might not even remember much about who was there. At my dad's memorial, my sister tells me that I hugged one of his ex-girlfriends. Honestly, I don't recall hugging anybody I didn't know, much less seeing people I didn't know (outside of my dad's co-workers).  But knowing those people were there to honor my dad's memory.. that was wonderful, whether I remembered meeting them or not.

I might have missed this, but was Rev Grund told he was not allowed to attend?

And that right there if the Grunds aren't invited is dead wrong, Caylee would have wanted them there, she loved them.

Remember though,wherever Westboro Baptist Church followers go,there is another group that also goes to silently protest them.A huge group of bikers.I know a missionary woman that has gone to several of their so-called protest.She piles on the backs of one of their bikes and hits the road... If the memorial happens,I feel certain some will be there...

I wonder if he's been disinvited as well

Grandma: Caylee "now has her angel wings"

February 9, 2009 - 7:51 AM
CNN
As the family of Caylee Anthony prepares to finally lay her to rest, her grandmother announced plans to establish a charitable foundation to honor the memory of the slain Florida toddler.

In a moving eulogy published in Sunday's editions of the Orlando Sentinel, Cindy Anthony wrote that the charity will be called the Caylee Marie Anthony Foundation. Its mission will be to draw attention to cases involving missing children.

"Caylee's life may have been short-lived on this earth, but her life will not have ended without a purpose," Cindy Anthony wrote. "She will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Caylee Marie Anthony now has her angel wings and will be watching over so many other children."

In the eulogy, Cindy Anthony also requested that only people with "the purest of hearts" and "truly honorable intentions" attend the public memorial service Tuesday morning at First Baptist Church of Orlando, Florida.

Cindy Anthony and her husband, George, plan to attend the service at the 5,000-seat mega-church. Their 22-year-old daughter, Casey, who was Caylee's mother, will not be present. Casey Anthony, who is charged with Caylee's murder, is being held at the Orange County Jail.  Watch what Casey Anthony's defense lawyers say »

Cindy Anthony listed Casey Anthony first among Caylee's survivors in her eulogy.

Cindy Anthony explained in her published eulogy that although donations already have been made in Caylee's name to organizations that help children, the family decided to establish a charitable foundation in Caylee's name.

"For those who fell in love with Caylee Marie on national TV, their grief is only temporary, their hearts will soon mend, and their memory of her may eventually fade," she wrote. "But for those who actually had the honor to meet Caylee Marie, it will be much more difficult for them to say goodbye, and their hearts may never heal."

Caylee was 2 when she disappeared last summer. Her remains were found on December 11 in woods less than a mile from the Anthonys' home.

Caylee's remains have been released to Bryant Funeral and Cremation Chapel in Orlando, family attorney Brad Conway said. The remains will not be at Tuesday's public service, he added. The family plans a private funeral and burial, but is not disclosing details, Conway said.

The pubic memorial, service is expected to draw a large crowd, and security will be tight. Officers will be provided by private firms and the Orange County Sheriff's office, and private donors will pay for them, officials said. Mourners will be required to pass through metal detectors, and will not be permitted to carry bags into the church.

Conway said the family will block some people from attending the service. "They know who they are. They will be respectively turned away,"   he said.

A large makeshift memorial, with teddy bears, candles and balloons, continues to draw the curious to the site where a meter reader found the remains.

Good Morning darla....I agree...but we have to keep in mind this is not a funeral.....Caylee hasn't to our knowledge been buried or cremated yet.....this is a money making venture IMO and although I hate to even think it...it may also be some kind of plea to the general public(aka jury pool) that casey is innocent and Caylee' killer is 'still out there'
