GARNER, N.C. -

Garner community members gathered today to remember the victims of the tragic ConAgra Foods plant explosion.

It's been two months since the southern part of the plant exploded, killing three workers and injuring dozens more.

Most of the 300 employees have returned to work but the healing process is not over yet.

That is part of the reason the company hosted a free, community-wide picnic Saturday.

All the injured employees have been released from the hospital, but many are still dealing with the explosion.

"I think it will help us all pull together and make the company a better place for everybody," plant worker Norman Melissis said.

A plaque was dedicated to remember the victims of the explosion, but the prayer from many is for healing.

"We've got a lot of healing left to do there are a lot of folks who are dealing with this everyday," Plant Manager Mark Rauenzahn said.
