On Monday, hundreds gathered for a candlelight vigil in Evesham Township, New Jersey, in remembrance of Grimmie. At the vigil, two of the singer’s childhood friends, Lauren and Sarah, spoke of Grimmie’s kindness and faith.

“She really isn’t dead,” Sarah said of her late friend. “She’s alive, and she’s more alive now than she was here. Mr. Grimmie said the other night to us, ‘She’s fully alive. She’s better now than she ever was before.’”
