Viewing And Funeral Planned For Somer Thompson
Vigils and fundraisers give way to more somber observances this week for 7-year-old Somer Thompson

Vigils and fundraisers give way to more somber observances this week for 7-year-old Somer Thompson.

Investigators had more than a thousand tips but are still trying to figure out what happened when the child disappeared on her walk home from a north Florida school last week. Her body was found in a Georgia landfill Wednesday.

A public viewing is planned Monday and funeral services are scheduled for Tuesday. Graveside services and the burial will be private.

At a fundraiser Sunday for Somer's family, children played in a bounce house as adults watched carefully. They vowed to find the girl's killer and raised about $18,500 so her mother doesn't have to go back to work immediately.

Words for a child lost
By: L. Wilson

Her laughter silenced,
Her moment to shine cut so short,
Her name called out in vain with a question to only remain,

Who took her we want to know,
How could this happen in an instant to this child we ask ourselves,
How could someone be so shallow wonders through our minds,

The hunt for her has now changed the hands of time,
She's been found among the rubble on the ground,
And now we change our hunt from Somer to another,

No trees will he or she hide behind,
No where can they go they won't hear our infamous cries for Somer,
No boundries will they have to obscound from Justice they now deserve,

For now we must hunt this or these monsters down,
For her life had meaning and purpose to us and her family,
The tears we shed for her loss will soon turn into a mission for her family,

For mother and siblings they now deserve closure of Somers loss,
One we will help them to find in the end,
And help bring back peace of mind for those in fear it could happen next to them,

In the end we will be Somers voice and keep her a shinging light.

In memory of Somer and the loss that will always be felt. God bless you sweet child lost at the hands of another.
