ORANGE PARK, Fla. -- Friends and family of Somer Thompson came together to remember the little girl two years after her death.

Somer Thompson's twin brother is still struggling with losing his other half. His mom and sister are having a hard time too. They sang You Are My Sunshine. The song has special meaning to the community. It was sung every night while the little girl was missing.

"Two years ago tonight we were looking for Somer. Some of the same people here tonight were out looking. I'm eternally grateful," said Diena Thompson.

But two years later its still a song to remember Somer. Purple is still the color of Somer. Friends still can't forget.

"Have fun dancing. I'll be there soon. I love u and miss you. RIP Somer," said a friend.

While there were tears and hugs to comfort, this was also a celebration... with laughter, dancing and singing by Somer's sister, Abby.

The man charged with Somer's death, Jarred Harrell, is set to stand trial the end of next year.
