Dionne Williams, the mother of Jauwan Holmes, emotionally sings along to "I'll Fly Away" with the Virginia State University Gospel Choir as they dedicate the song to him. A memorial service was held at VSU's Daniel Gymnasium for Holmes and Marvell Edmondson after both drowned in the Appomattox River during what authorities have called a hazing incident.
