“We wanted to end their night with support from the neighborhood to have a candlelight vigil for them to let them know that we support them," Smith said. "There’s no judgment, and that we love them and we’re here for them. It’s going to be a long haul." Another neighbor said their role is not to understand the situation but to let the family know they're not alone.
“In this situation too, what I found is, I can’t understand. I can’t explain the situation, and the neighbors and their friends are here to support and love, and that’s our role,” the neighbor said.
