Personal Memorial for Zahra (Please share your ideas)

I wonder now 2018( learned of Zarah) a few weeks ago,so all raw for me,lots of thought and wonders,which probably I'll never know,as no forums since 2013 mentioning Zara god bless her,I expect they close forums after court case and things calm down,but it would be lovely to have an update,( how the family are holding up,was the house done up or bulldozed etc,as I know people would never forget Zarah,I know I won't,I'll light a candle and say a prayer for her on her 19th Birthday this year,that's all I can do..x
 
KCsmom--

I, too, have some social anxiety, but I was just thinking what about something at the racetrack where Zahra got her hearing aids? I'll bet there are LOTS of people who would like a more formal goodbye, and I'll bet that if someone asked Jennifer Moxley, the reporter who covered the hearing aid event and has been following Zahra's case, she would be willing to do the 'putting together' of an event like that! She'd have the contacts to do so. That way, you could be doing something for a lot of others to participate, but could do it more from behind the scenes...
 
I would love to know,if you all got something done,and if you got any pics to share..x
 
I have been thinking about just what I could do. I've been doing a lot of yardwork lately - clearing beds, seeding grass, etc. I have one area near my front door - nothing there - would love to plant many different colored impatiens (sp?), I will now do that for Zahra. I have a small paito out front with two square concrete corners. I plan on putting two poinsettias in pots (one on each) for Xmas. Those I will do those for Haleigh and Kyron. I'm also going to put in a gardenia bush in the back - for Caylee. Just my way of showing my love for these children that were taken to soon and wish them a very Merry Christmas in heaven with the angels.
 
That's another fantastic idea,I'm going to put in plants that will flower for November December ,for Zarah and all the children I've learned about on here,I've already got a white Rosebush in our garden,and I will light a candle for them all on Christmas time,as I do for everyone else I've loved or known of,as way too many unfortunately.. X
 
I've got a really pretty scroll-work planter on my deck I've been trying to decide how to use. I think I'll plant some purple pansies in it this fall, replace with my favorite, purple lisianthus, in the spring, and continue to do this each year in remembrance of Zahra.

If those who have moved on can feel what we left behind try to express for them, then Zahra surely knows how truly and dearly loved she is. :)
 
I bet that's so beautiful when it flowers, and the fragrance divine,I love purple myself,and I read purple and pink was Zarah's favourite colours....x
 
I started to go to her "living Hell", I mean house, last night but there were so many reporters and others there that I decided against it.

I heard there is going to be a public memorial for her on Tuesday, her birthday, but I know there will be hundreds of people there not to mention I have school all day that day. I am also a little bit socially backwards so I would of been uncomfortable. But I really feel the need to do something for her instead of just praying.

I keep having this thought of releasing a bunch of purple balloons as if personally releasing Zahra and all the emotions this case has brought me to the heavens. I have thought of going to the place on Christie Road to do it, but I just can't bring myself to go to those places where her bones were found. I think it would too hard to try and "let go" in such a place as that.

I wish I knew of park or place that Zahra loved to go and run so I could go there and do this personal memorial for her. Does anyone have any ideas?
 
Reading through your comments I also wonder did any of you websleuths,get to visit her park,its looks so beautiful in the pictures,and very apt for Zarah as well,I'm sure she was there in spirit at the opening ..x

Such a lovely thing to do for all the children,I had to have a little cry,I hope Emily gets to read these forums,it will be a big comfort to see how kind people are,I lost the forum for a while,but I've found it now so I'm liking and leaving comments,I hope I'm not offending anyone by leaving my comment,if I do I apologize,and I will delete if I can,or I will ask admin to delete for me,please let me know if this is ever the case..x

I can tell you that Police officers work long and hard. Most people only hear about the bad stuff, and get upset when they get a speeding ticket and such. Police never get that pat on the back and they should. They have handled this so far with grace and determination, not only because that was their job but because NOT ONE person cared for this Child, and they took it upon themselves to CARE, which in turn made all of us take notice. If I had money maybe mouse pads with Zahra's picture on it saying Thank you for finding me. Would be a nice thing too.

We've heard many investigators working on cases involving children keep a picture of that child in their office years and years after the case was solved. Zahra's death brought so many together, and gave the police department much deserved respect. It is a shame that it had to be her death to do that.

The locals of the area should thank their lucky stars for having an outstanding police department. Knowing they are out there watching over you, seeing the down trodden day after day, without a Thank you but instead an angry face when someone gets a speeding ticket. Can you imagine? Yes, be very lucky locals to have such a great police dept.

Sorry for the rant, and it wasn't directed at anyone. Partly my frustration, my profound gratitude knowing that in this UGLY world that there are decent people that care is what Zahra gave me.
 
A big big Thank you to all the Police Officers.
The Investigator's
The Community
The searchers
The public
And everyone who left memorials cards etc for Zarah....x
 
And thank you Websleuths, you do an amazing job also...x
 
My deck is surrounded by gardenias, and the scent is so beautifully fragrant. I'd highly recommend planting where a breeze will carry it in an open window or near a deck, patio, or somewhere you'll often sit or pass by. The blooms are so prolific that I can cut fresh bouquets for every room in the house, every other day, from June through October.

Tip -- if you want more than one, you can easily root gardenias in rooting medium or just by sticking a de-leafed sprig in a jar of water til it roots, then planting.

I love your ideas for remembering these children this way! :hug:
 
I agree Sherbee,the ideas are Amazing.. X
 
Further thought on A_News' idea of the christmas tree, although I don't dare put it up this early, I love the sun ornament to honor Caylee idea. I am a multiple tree person. We do the big one and then I do little ones all about the house. (you know, those potted little trees with the dainty little ornaments)

Maybe this year there will be a new little tree with tiny little ornaments signifying all my little angels . . .

Yeah, I like that.
