Alaysha Williams’ mother accepted her diploma on her behalf during the graduation ceremony, expressing gratitude to the school for ensuring her daughter remained part of the senior year memories.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A 17-year-old senior from Ed White High School, who tragically lost her life in a hit-and-run accident last year, was posthumously honored during graduation.

Tiereny Williams, Alaysha’s mother, conveyed a heartfelt message on Facebook following the event, appreciating the school’s efforts to include her daughter in all the senior activities.

“They continued to include her in everything,” Williams wrote, noting the school created a senior picture for Alaysha and gave her a dedicated page in the yearbook.

Williams also expressed gratitude for the support her family continues to receive.

“I want to thank my family, all of her friends, students of all schools, and community for the love you continue to give,” she wrote. “I have a long road to travel dealing with Alaysha not being here, but with everyone’s support, I’m making it one day at a time.”

Alaysha Williams was a member of Ed White’s flag football team and a starter on the girls basketball team. She was killed in September 2024 when she was struck by three drivers on Blanding Boulevard. Two drivers stayed on scene, and one woman was arrested and later sentenced to house arrest.
