Now Rosie's classmates and teachers are dealing with the loss of a special student.

"She is just a bright light, so optimistic, and didn't have a mean bone in her body," said Robinson Middle School teacher Brooke Adams.

Jenny and Rosie shared a passion for music.

"Spread the joy, find the light, find the happiness, and reflect her memory and the good she did," said Adams.

Grief counselors are available for students who want to talk about their classmate's death. Students also wore yellow Monday in honor of her.

Friends say what they need now...are prayers.
