A half-hour vigil Marlton Memorial Sports Complex was held in memory of Christina remember her. Family, close friends, pastors and even Mayor Robert Brown spoke at the vigil, Billboard reported. Grimmie was rushed to the hospital, where she died early on Saturday morning.
The singer’s manager, Brian Teefey, set up a GoFundMe account that’s already raised more than $140,000.
