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.

My Lovely Angel

Marci,
I find myself thinking about you often. We spent a semester in
SF together and became quickly close friends. I had a young son, and you always talked about how you want to meet him. I will never forget that. I wish so bad we did the things we said we would do together in our short time of going to school together. I wanted to leave with you to SD so bad. I didn't have the guts to do it then. I'm in so cal now. And pursuing music now professionally, and i willl never forget how u believed in me. It's so funny i can clearly still see some of you art projects from class. They were so immaculate. Like you. I know your my angel. I LOVE YOU ETERNALLY BEAUTIFUL

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.
