WATERVILLE, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- It has been more than two months since Ayla Reynolds was reported missing. People in the community continue to help get the word out about the toddler's disappearance.
People gathered outside Waterville City Hall Saturday for a vigil to honor Ayla. Organizers asked people to bring teddy bears to symbolize hope that Ayla will be found. Ayla's parents, Trista Reynolds and Justin Dipietro did not attend the vigil. But Ayla's grandmother, Phoebe Dipietro, the lying grandmother, was there to bring a teddy bear and thank the many supporters.
Organizers say it's difficult to keep up hope that Ayla will come home safe, but they have to keep the faith.
"This little baby is still missing, two and a half months now, and we are all here to show people that everybody cares and we are all looking for Ayla" vigil organizer Karen Francis said.
Organizers of the vigil plan to donate the teddy bears they collected to various charities.
