REMEMBERING THEIR PASSION

Jabias McWilliams, one of the students who spoke with the TV station, mentioned that both girls were very active in the school’s dance team.

"When I see them do it [dance], I can tell they always felt good dancing. That's just something they love to do," said McWilliams.

He added:

"They're in a better place, so we just have to think about it like that."

REMEMBERING THEIR SMILES

Another student, Dexter Grier, recalled that Waters and Robinson had bright personalities: "Every time you saw them, they had a smile on their face. They were always down to chill. They were very cool people. I just loved them, man."

Grier revealed that he saw the girls the very day they were reported dead and that their demise affects the entire student body.

"To get that news about them that night, and I had just seen them that day, it really got to me. ..Keep everybody just happy because this is a sad moment and I believe everybody just should come together and just talk about it.”

THE UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT

According to Dailymail.com, Robinson’s mother, LaToya Carter, shared on social media that a funeral for her daughter would hold on Thursday, April 4.

The Georgia State Patrol told 13WMAZ that Waters and Robinson’s car collided with an 18-wheeler fuel truck driven by a 55-year-old Georgia Harris of Macon at GA-49 on Woolfolk Road.

The ladies’ car, driven by Precious Waters, is said to have crossed the center line and struck Harris’s truck, causing both vehicles to catch fire.

Harris also lost her life in the crash that officials are still investigating.
