Canaan, Vermont - August 8, 2011
A community gathered to remember a young life cut short Monday night.
The body of 11 year-old Celina Cass was found in the Connecticut River a week ago after a massive search.
Her death is suspicious and a criminal investigation continues. Monday night hundreds of people gathered at the Canaan School on the Vermont-New Hampshire border where Celina played basketball. They honored her memory in words, song, and poetry.
"A word of caution about using the word closure - as in closing the book and put the book on the shelf and that's a part of your life you don't look at again. That's not the closure we're talking about here. W can't do that. I's not healthy. Tis becomes a part of our history of our community," says Father Craig Cheney of the North American Martyrs Parish.
Investigators are awaiting toxicology reports to try to determine how Celina died.
