I think it is the perfect time and place to hold a Memorial for Caylee. With the searches being called off and the real possibility that she will never be recovered, it is fitting that people who have poured their hearts and souls into finding her have a moment to say goodbye to her wherever she may be. They are invested and need to have an emotional release before they relinquish to the reality of her remains not being found especially after this weekend. It is the right thing to do for the right reasons. Caylee deserves to be remembered, loved, and mourned. She deserves rites to be observed to mark her death. It is the last thing people can do for Caylee now. The rest is up to the legal system.
The Anthony family will never acknowledge sweet Caylee in this way. People have to understand that Caylee deserves to be remembered. She may not ever have a proper burial. There won't be thousands of flowers or a pretty casket where she has been cast aside. There won't be music in her honor with her family standing by her side at her grave to weep for her. Caylee will be forever alone while her family forsakes her in an effort to save the very person who left her behind.
Regardless of whether the family ever attends, when she is pronounced dead why can't all of these things happen? Why not have it in a church on a weekend when all of the searchers and protesters might actually be able to attend? Why do it on a Tuesday with no real announcement and public invite and the appropriate people to speak? Music, flowers, photos, and tributes all present. After the trial maybe some of the people who have actually had their real lives impacted might be able to attend? With a death certificate issued a real memorial could be erected to her somewhere whether it is in a cemetery or elsewhere. Doing it now just caters to the the media circus and grandstanding by Cindy. At least wait until the gag order is issued so they can't hold a press conference or announce a siting at the same time.
My personal hope is that she gets a true memorial service that is not a show down between the bountyhunter and the crazy grandmother with live satelite feeds in three locations the park, the Anthony's driveway and Baez's parking lot for maximum coverage. That is my only point. A memorial service is needed for Caylee and for the people who have been touched by her, but what is going to happen tomorrow is not the best that could be done for her regardless of the Anthony's intentions now or in the future.
