More than 100 people gathered Friday night and prayed for missing Caylee Anthony on the eve of her third birthday.

The vigil was organized by a 12-year-old girl in St. Cloud.

"They have gone through a lot of tough times," organizer Dakota Skii said. "They are struggling."

During the vigil George Anthony addressed an earlier incident where he screamed at reporters outside of his home.

"A lot of you probably saw on the news how I sort of lashed out at the media today and I can tell the media right now that I'm sorry," George Anthony said.

Friday, George Anthony screamed, "You people have no idea what we’re going through. You don’t care about me. You don’t care about (my wife). You don’t care about my granddaughter. You don’t care about any of this stuff."

Before Friday night's vigil ended, the crowd sang happy birthday to Caylee with the child's family.

"It is people like you who allow us to get up every morning and face another day," Cindy Anthony said. "It is going to take communities like this to come together and to bring Caylee home."

"Your prayers and support mean more than you can even imagine," George Anthony said.

New Call Released

Also, the Orange County Jail released a new phone call between Caylee Anthony's mother, Casey, and her brother Lee.

"Hey Case," Lee Anthony said.

"Hey, I need a favor," Casey Anthony said.

"Sure," Lee Anthony said.

"Can you get a hold of Jose and have him come see me as soon as he can, like today at some point?" Casey Anthony said.

"Yeah, let me give him a call," Lee Anthony said.

"Yeah, if you could do that, I would greatly appreciate it," Casey Anthony said. "You know, give my love obviously but I only have a minute to talk so…"

"OK, yeah, I'll do that right now," Lee Anthony said.

"OK, I appreciate that," Casey Anthony said.

"All right, love you," Lee Anthony said.

"Love you too," Casey Anthony said.

Strangers Bring Gifts

Families were traveling to the home of Cindy and George Anthony to drop gifts and other items in the search for the missing girl.

Signs were also left in the yard to the family, too.

Cathy Harris stopped by the home but was angry at the grandparents.

"I get angry," Harris said. "If I see the grandmother, I probably would not say anything nice."

'Safe House' Considered

Meanwhile, attorney Jose Baez launched a new appeal to spring Casey Anthony out of jail.

However, with talks of threats against the family if Casey Anthony leaves jail, Cindy Anthony has considered the use of a safe house.

"Right here, I don't think is the ideal place for her not because we don't want her in the house and everything but we may have to hole her up somewhere in a safe house," Cindy Anthony said.

A national search for Caylee continues.
