A Bronx Special Olympic Athlete ...
Passed last night .

On a personal note, I met Tracy at
their Spring Game Event held at Fordham U
in 1995 in the Olympic village section.
The athletes where to throw a wet sponge
into the opening on the clowns face. They all
missed until,I decided to put my face in there
PLEASE don't kill the coach, well they got
me more than once. We all Got a good Laugh.

Tracy was very active in The Hayes Program
for Exceptional Children held at Cardinal
Hayes HS on Sundays during the school year.
She also made the Local Front page newspaper
at one of Our Winter Games in Nordic.
Great golfer with her Mom(also a Special Olympic Coach)
on the 9 hole and in skills when she got older.

Tracy surely will be missed by all of us in
Special Olympics and we know that she happy and
with her buddy Freddie (Photo here )and 3 of her coaches are with her now
God Speed Tracy
