Memorial service held for 'Voice' singer Christina Grimmie

EVESHAM TWP., N.J. -- Hundreds of people gathered Friday night at the Fellowship Alliance Chapel in Medford, to grieve and pay tribute to slain singer Christina Grimmie.

The up-and-coming pop star was killed last weekend while signing autographs after a performance in Orlando, Florida.

A South Jersey community held a candlelight vigil in honor of Evesham Township native Christina Grimmie who was gunned down after a Florida concert.

Through her tears, Grimmie's mother thanked the crowd for attending the memorial.

"Those that I've known for many years that have been a part of our lives, that have touched our lives, they have counseled me, that have loved us, that have been there through difficulties, it's to you I'm very grateful," said Tina Grimmie, the singer's mother. "I just want her to come home, I want to see her."
