A group of up to 60 people gathered yesterday at The Wall, at the foot of Newport Avenue, to remember Tracy Condon. Candles were lit, words were spoken as her loved ones, friends, and strangers came together to commemorate the life of a homeless woman killed in a hit and run on Santa Monica Avenue last week.
One of her daughters was there as well as an ex and the pastor of a local church. TV station 7SanDiego was there and gave a touching news video.
One of the things we learned about Tracy was that she was once a model for a soda ad.
Some in OB wish to turn Tracy’s death as a warning bell on the plight of other homeless people, and a Task Force on homelessness has been formed by members of the OB Community Foundation.
