The First Baptist Church of Cottondale was a gathering place for volunteers and Athena's family while the search for her was going on. Pastor Charles Pugh comforted them as the hours turned into days.
"It hurts our hearts to know that child died," he said,"This community does not like losing our children and we can see it because of all the people who came out and helped us throughout this ordeal.
Back at the church, donations are pouring in. Some of the items include a tiara, a stuffed animal and flowers. "Just take one step at a time, don't do anything dramatic, just get through the next day," said Pugh.
