The community is coming together to remember the little girl found dead Tuesday morning.
A prayer vigil was held in her honor at the Children's Advocacy Center of Benton County.
About one hundred people showed up Tuesday night to remember a six year old girl who liked purple, Justin Beiber, and being outside.
"She was just a bright six year old little girl," says Jennifer Rollins, the aunt of the 6-year-old girl found dead Tuesday morning.
In the midst of sadness, an aunt taking a moment to remember a life taken too soon.
"She's just a bright light. She took care of her little sister, she was just a light she lit up a room everywhere she went," says Rollins.
And even though she's gone, lights are shining bright in her memory tonight.
"We have a memorial garden where there are several children who have died as a result of abuse," says Natalie Tibbs, with the Children's Advocacy Center of Benton County.
The Advocacy Center held a prayer vigil Tuesday night and added another statue in memory of the little girl.
"She was really strong, she was extremely strong," says Rollins.
She just celebrated her 6th birthday this weekend.
"The young ones are supposed to bury the old ones this is not the right way," says Rollins.
A tragedy that Benton County advocates say they've never seen anything like.
"These are our children, this is our future no matter what we experience day to day our children should never have to suffer," says Tibbs.
The family is just asking for prayers as they walk through this difficult time.
