Organizers estimated 50,000 people congregated on Sunday during a vigil one week after Orlando was rocked by the deaths of 49 people at the gay club Pulse, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
“It’s not just somebody’s son or somebody’s daughter,” said Enid Nieves-Cruz of Orlando. “It’s a coworker. It’s a friend of a friend. People’s lives have changed.”
“Mourn, but at the same time keep living,” she said. “I’m pretty sure that everyone who lost their lives and everybody that’s healing in the hospital would want us to. After all, they were out celebrating life.”
There were numerous speakers at the event, which also included reading the names and ages of each victim followed by the tolling of the church bell after each name. According to the Sentinel, a rainbow, the symbol of gay pride, appeared in the sky as mourners and well-wishers gathered. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer was left stunned by the size of the crowd that filled the park.
“Wow, Orlando,” Dyer said. “You’re showing your love, your compassion, your unity.”
