More than 600 devastated relatives and friends today paid their respects to a UPenn track star who jumped to her death from a parking garage as she struggled with the pressures of school work.
Mourners comforted Madison Holleran's father, James, as he left the snow-covered Guardian Angel Church in Allendale, New Jersey after the funeral service on Tuesday.
Other relatives and friends - some of whom had taken a bus chartered from Penn in Philadelphia - were seen sobbing as they struggled to come to terms with the popular student's passing.
During the mass, Mr Holleran said that his daughter used to rally her team by saying: 'Now is a time to be strong.' He added: 'Today, we all have to be strong for Madison.'

Columbia/Pennsylvania vs Harvard Alumni

Nearing the end of the Boston area summer Ivy League (July 27, 2012) Alumni Baseball (softball) League, Harvard alumni went up against a combined team of Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania. The result was not pretty, Harvard many, CU/UP two. Harvard was the home team (played on Cambridge Common) and arrived wearing bright black T shirts to show their solidarity with the Colorado shooter. Um, no it was because the shirt maker ran out of crimson colored shirts. This is a special league where sexual preference is NOT a requirement for playing softball. The batting team provides the pitcher which may explain the score. Harvard pitchers seemed to be lobbing it in to their batters. But the Columbia and U Penn pitchers appeared to be trying to strike out their own players. Each team had ten fielders. Four in the outfield, and one behind the pitcher. This is what it looked like to this man's camera.
