A vigil was held on Sunday, March 26, and the students who attended celebrated Ebony‘s life with Beyoncé’s “Halo” playing in the background. Earlier this month, Ebony’s closest family and friends held an early graduation ceremony in her honor.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ebony’s friends and family.
