"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's life may have been short-lived on this Earth, but her life will not have ended without a purpose. 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," Cindy Anthony said in the eulogy.
Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, is in the Orange County Jail, and so far has not asked for permission to watch her daughter's memorial service on television.
Corrections spokesman Allen Moore said there's nothing in its policy to prevent Casey Anthony from watching the memorial Tuesday, but she has to ask for that access. Moore said Casey Anthony also has access to a radio and could listen to a simulcast in her protective custody cell.
Doors will open at 8 a.m. and parking lots for media and the public will open at 4 a.m.
Those planning to attend the service should expect tight security.

A Kansas-based group is planning to protest Tuesday's service. The Web site for members of the Tokepa-based Westboro Baptist Church said they plan to picket outside Caylee's memorial from 9:15 a.m. to 10 a.m. The group gained national notoriety in 1998 when they picketed the funeral of hate crime victim Matthew Sheperd.
Members of the Orlando Police Department spent the afternoon meeting with church staff. A police spokeswoman confirmed officers will be outside the church and in the streets making sure traffic is properly managed.
An OPD spokeswoman said it's not illegal for Westboro group to protest the memorial service as long as they're on public property.
