Pete and I met Vega Montanez “by chance” at the exact right time.

Today I will tell you about my life from the time my father got so sick in November 2022 through the spring of 2023.

From November 2022, when he got so sick, until we lost him on February 1, 2024, I was just going through the motions of trying to be helpful to my parents.

I grew up in a close family. There were just four of us. My dad, my mom, my brother Doug, and me.

In 2022, we produced a short film, “Wake Up Call,”together that I wrote for Pete to play the lead role in. Now, we are building a studio in our home for me to have a physical “Tracy’s Table” platform for my work and we hope to produce a series of Faith-Based films together, which Pete will play roles in.

RPC is an iconic church in our community known for its red doors. Founded in 1863, the church has a long, rich history.

I remember very little about Sunday School but I will never forget the day I was confirmed and received my Bible.

Today’s “Tuesday Tracy” is about how, to me, faith is like a special childhood friend.

When we first started going out, Pete used to say that I seemed “different” on Tuesdays and he started to say “it’s Tuesday Tracy”.

First and foremost, I raised two beautiful sons in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. Brian just turned 29 - wow! - and Justin will turn 24 this summer. Justin did two Bible Bits with me last spring so you saw him in those. They were both baptized at Riverdale Presbyterian Church/RPC
