Tragedy of a Beauty

Mourners gathered in Pacific Beach Friday evening to pay honor to Marcella Holman, the 21-year-old killed after falling nine stories to her death at a downtown high-rise in the Core-Columbia neighborhood earlier that day.

Police told the Union Tribune Holman slipped and fell over the balcony railing of a high-rise unit in the Acqua Vista condominiums at about 3 a.m. Police told the newspaper the fall appeared to be accidental.

According to the newspaper, there might have been a party or social gathering going on at the time of the incident. Police said Holman was in the apartment with a friend and her boyfriend at the time of the fall.

Holman, who lived in the Little Italy neighborhood, was a waitress at the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego and was attending the Art Institute of California, San Diego.

since ive found out this has been the saddest thing ive heard about all year. she seemed so full of life. i didnt know her. but she was a friend of a friends. i saw her friends out one night and felt really bad. its weird that they dont know me but i know them because of marci. i cried when i was reading all their myspace memorials and looking at pics. "friends you and me, you brought another friend and then there were 3..." that quote made me cry. i cant imagine losing someone so close to me. stay strong everyone.

Sad!

What a sad way for such a beautiful woman to die. I think they should do away with hotel balcanies because they are unsafe.

Wow, Marci. Its so weird that you are gone. We didn't really talk much after high school, except for the occasional "hey how ya doing" on facebook. I kept tabs on you though, cause girl you went hardcore after your dreams and made it. You have definitely inspired me to go after mine. I remember all those times in Trig that me, you, Krystle and TJ never paid any attention to Richardson and laughed about dumb stuff the whole time, and you wore those bracelets ALL the time- you were such a punk, and then went out to SD and became a DIVA. And then there was colorguard and all those trips, football games, etc....I would have never guessed in a million years that I wouldnt have the chance to talk to you at our high school reunion. Rest in peace, Marci.....you are missed and loved....

Hi Sweetie,
I still can't believe this has all happened. I feel like I'm having this horrible nightmare and one day I'll wake up and you'll still be here. I can't describe the pain I feel or how lost and lonely I feel without you. It was always us for so long and we were always together. We even shared the same birthday. You were my rock, everything I did was for you and wouldn't have made it without you. You always gave me strength to do anything difficult and now you're gone. I'm trying so hard to be strong but its so hard, I miss you so much. I know you are with me but its not the same as having you here. I'm so very proud of you as always. You found yourself in SD and I am so happy that you did. Your friends are incredible and love you so much. Your memorial was absolutely beautiful, just like you, I know you were there and enjoyed being the center of attention like you loved. The Hard Rock is an awesome place, that's why you loved it there. I love and miss you so very much, I have many wonderful memories and will share them with your brother Jamie, as you called him. He doesn't understand this and wanted to see you when we were in SD. Its so sad. I wish none of this happened or I could fix it, but it wasn't in my hands. I will always wonder why and always wonder what would've been. You had so many plans and dreams for the future. Love and miss you, Mom
