Photo Gallery: Residents Hold Candlelight Vigil For Skyler

A mass showing of love and support crowded the scene where 9-year-old Skyler Kauffman was tragically murdered gathered tonight along Chestnut Street in Souderton.

Hundreds of residents packed the intersection of Second Street and Chestnut Street in Souderton, in an effort to show condolences and support to the family of 9-year-old murder victim Skyler Rae Kauffman.

Family members, including her mother, father and grandparents were in attendance, as well as local soldiers, Bikers Against Child Abuse, and many other organizations.

A volunteer walked through the crowd with a large jug to collect donations to help the family cover funeral costs.
