As the sun set Monday night, a sea of pink balloons flooded the sky attached with hundreds of messages of hope, and prayer.
A vigil held Monday night marked the one-month anniversary of missing Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar’s disappearance where about 300 people showed up at Burnett Elementary School, which has become the headquarters of the “Sierra Search Center,” lead by the KlaasKids Foundation.
Many people who came to the vigil made up just a segment of the thousands who have volunteered to search for Sierra in the past month.
As the hundreds of balloons were released into the air, the crowd shouted “Bring Sierra home,” as many present wiped away tears.
It was silent as the balloons ascended into the air, until a cry of “I love you” was said by someone.
Both Sierra’s parents Marlene and Steve LaMar, were present to thank the community for their dedication in the search and for keeping the story of their daughter alive.
“She’s everyone’s daughter,” said Marlene.
