Gabby Petito’s loved ones gathered in New York for a memorial as the search for her fiancé continues

Holbrook, New York CNN — Gabby Petito was remembered as a kind, loving and adventurous young woman on Sunday, when her family, friends and complete strangers gathered in Holbrook, New York, on Long Island to pay their respects. “But I want to show the Petito and Schmidt family lots of love and let them know that they’re surrounded by people who love them and care for Gabby.” For days now, Petito has been honored in communities across the country as her story gripped the nation’s attention: A vigil was held in Salt Lake City last Wednesday, and a small table of remembrance has been set up at a Wilmington, North Carolina, restaurant where she used to work, according to CNN affiliate WWAY. On Sunday, Schmidt expressed gratitude for the love and support Petito’s family has felt from people around the country and the world, a sentiment echoed by Joseph Petito, who said, “The entire planet knows this woman’s name now.” Richard Stafford, an attorney for the Petito family, told CNN in a statement Friday the family is asking for donations to a future Gabby Petito foundation in lieu of flowers. Torres wrote that he and his daughter “offer our deepest condolences to the family of Gabby Petito,” adding, “We are offering a reward of $5,000 for tips leading to an arrest.” Torres said Friday the reward he’s offering had been raised to $10,000, thanks in part to help from people like Steve Moyer, the former deputy chief of police for Sarasota, Florida. “We’re looking through wooded areas, we’re looking through bodies of water, we’re looking through swampy areas,” North Port Police Commander Joe Fussell said in a video shared online Friday.
