The Memorial for Caylee Anthony was beautiful and moving. It was far more than my expectations. The music was brilliantly performed and the sermons fitting for the day. I was very impressed with George Anthony and his appearance. He seemed sure of himself, yet very solemn, as is to be expected.
Then there was Lee Anthony. He approached the podium with laptop in hand. More than caught my eye. For what Lee had to say, did not have to be written down. It could have been memorized. George did not seem to use notes, neither did Cindy, they spoke from their heart.
Lee, however, never mentioned Caylee's name. Not one time. All he kept repeating was "CMA". "CMA", then kissed a bracelet on his wrist. Lee spoke of how long it had been "since he last saw you"; and how "he wished he could hug you". Lee then added, "I will keep the promise I made to you". Lee said it was difficult for him to be the pillar of strength for the family. He repeated "CMA" a few more times and was finished. Not a very poignant speech in my opinion. Not touching, no memories of he and his little niece that he so cherished. He finished and placed his laptop on a table behind the podium while George began to speak.
To which "CMA" was Lee referring? Caylee Marie Anthony, or Casey Marie Anthony?
According to sources at the jail, Casey did not request to watch the memorial. Instead, she opted for a visit from good 'ol Jose Baez. A little defense strategy party? Or was she secretly watching the memorial via live stream from Baez's laptop? Speculation is already starting to fly.
