nov 3 cindy anthony becomes emotional at vigil

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Prayer vigils continued for the Anthony's granddaughter Caylee nearly five months after her disappearance.

Families gathered across the nation Sunday night to remember their missing loved ones. George and Cindy sat in a front pew of the Eastside Baptist Church on Conway Gardens Road as tearful families and friends gathered to pray.

Cindy said she lost control of her emotions when a little girl around Caylee's age hugged her (watch video).

The Anthony's said the vigils helped them cope.

"Having other families go through the same thing, words can't describe it. I mean, you need it," Cindy said (watch interview).

George and Cindy said things have calmed down outside their home since Casey's arrest.


SEARCH FOR CAYLEE TO CONTINUE

The search for Caylee Anthony is expected to pick up again this week.

Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla and his team are scheduled to arrive in Orlando on Thursday, November 6 to get organized before the search.

On Saturday they'll join up with the Texas Equusearch team. It will be the group's second effort to find the toddler's remains.

They shortened their first visit back in August when tropical storm Fay flooded some of the search areas.
