ORANGE COUNTY, FL -- As family members and hundreds more remembered Caylee Anthony at an Orlando church on Tuesday, others paid their respects at the site where the toddler's remains were found.
Nearly 100 people, led by bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, gathered at the wooded area where Caylee's skeletal remains were discovered by a county worker in December.
They showed up with teddy bears, dolls and flowers.
"Now she's an angel. What can you say? It is sad, sad," Heidi Pnoyer told WFTV.
A heart-shaped sign and a large white poster board was put up so mourners could leave messages for

Padilla became an ally of the Anthony family when he secured a bond for
Casey Anthony (

He was banned by the Anthony's from Tuesday's formal public memorial. He said he was not trying to draw attention from the church service, adding that he made no effort to invite the news media to informal event.
Casey Anthony is accused of murdering Caylee. Her trial is not expected to take place until late this year, at the earliest.
