Jamesha was born with Goldenhar syndrome, a condition that causes abnormal facial features and developmental problems.
Last month though, she proudly walked across the school's football field, linking arms with her classmate, Roderick.
Jamesha died over the weekend. Her classmates have already started to mourn her death on Twitter.

Some students plan to memorialize Jamesha by wearing yellow at school.
If you are a peer tutor or hell, even go to Butler then you better be wearing something yellow tomorrow. #ripJamesha
