Rebecca Metz Instagram - Happy, happy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY @oliviasanabia! I’ve adored you since the day we met and am so proud to be your friend and tv mom. 😘🎉🎂
Rebecca Metz Instagram - As much time as I’ve had to prepare and process, and as many friends as have written similar words in recent weeks and months, it’s hard to wrap my mind around what I’m about to say. 

This past Thursday, May 30, we said goodbye to my dad, Jerry Metz.

Since being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in November 2021, he’d been living a remarkably full and busy life until quite recently. Despite chemo, radiation, and more hospitalizations, surgeries, and setbacks than he willingly admitted, he squeezed in a dream trip to France with mom, Andy, and me, Spain and Portugal with mom, several visits to us in Los Angeles, continued rehearsing and performing with Monmouth Civic Chorus and Princeton Pro Musica, and working on his endless list of projects at the cabin in the Berkshires. In a few months, he and mom would have marked their 54th anniversary, more in love than ever. 

I could tell he was powering through more pain than he let on, but that was dad. He loved his life too much to slow down until he had no choice, and when that time came, we said goodbye at home, all together, on his terms, which anyone who knew him will understand is exactly as it should be. 

We loved each other madly and drove each other (and my mother) crazy because one of the many things I inherited from him is his tenacity–or unshakable stubbornness, depending on your perspective. As people keep telling me, my eyes, my voice, my mannerisms, and so many things that are me were also… him. All my life, anyone who knew him took one look at me and knew I was his kid. 

It’s going to take a long, long time to get used to being in the world without him, but I already hear him in my mind and heart, answering questions I didn’t ask, filling us in on the latest cooking techniques he learned from Jacques Pepin, and telling me how to do things I’ve known how to do for decades–all in that rich, beautiful, booming voice that resonates over every other sound in the world. 

Anyone wishing to honor him, please consider supporting @monmouthcivicchorusnj @princetonpromusica and/or @compassionandchoices 

And *please*, if you have Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, get tested for BRCA 1 & 2. ❤️

Rebecca Metz Instagram - Just saw the news that Audrey died last night. It may seem strange to mourn a giraffe, but Audrey meant a lot to me. She–specifically a photo of her beaming proudly between a bride and groom–is the reason I latched on to the idea of getting married at @santabarbarazoo. And why we’ve ended up with a lot of weird & beautiful giraffe art/tchotchkes. And this photo of Dad feeding her… Well. It’s precious to me. Goodbye, sweet Audrey. Rest easy.

Rebecca Metz Instagram - Today is @andyhermannla’s birthday. He’s the love of my life, the aisle to my window, and this year more than most, the person keeping me loved, fed, and functional when I don’t have the oomph to do it myself. 

I’m a few thousand miles away from him today, so please help me send a ton of birthday love his way. 

And maybe buy the man a drink. Good gravy, does he deserve it.

And extra deep, tear-soaked, red-sauce-stained gratitude to these three forever ride-or-dies. I must have done something good in this life to deserve to be loved so well.

Rebecca Metz Instagram - I was tinkering with camera settings when I heard - despite my AirPods - what that sounded like a *huge* swarm of bees. Figured it had to be a scooter or something… but it was constant & growing & coming from above. The timer caputured the moment I realized that it was in fact… A HUGE SWARM OF BEES. 🐝 

(I think they were moving back in to the box hives up the hill. Welcome home, beebees!)

Rebecca Metz Instagram - The stellar server at this otherwise clown show of a Hilton assured us those are CLOUDS and he’s been trying to explain to management that they should take this down for a long time.
Rebecca Metz Instagram - Posted @withregram • @drew_droege All of us weirdos who grew up craving actually funny theatre found your plays and found our people among your fans. You understood the absurdities of the extreme, the casual pettiness and selfishness of individuals, and the screaming loneliness of being on this planet aching to be understood. In college I got to direct “Beyond Therapy” and be in “‘dentity Crisis”, and both experiences shaped my sense of humor, my understanding of character, the whole “the words are funny, just play the truth” thing…. Oh and you were one of my favorite parts of The Secret of My Success, which I have seen countless times. I am forever grateful and forever a fan. Thank you Christopher Durang.
Rebecca Metz Instagram - Trying to remember, again and again.

Rebecca Metz - 1.5K Likes - As much time as I’ve had to prepare and process, and as many friends as have written similar words in recent weeks and months, it’s hard to wrap my mind around what I’m about to say. 

This past Thursday, May 30, we said goodbye to my dad, Jerry Metz.

Since being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in November 2021, he’d been living a remarkably full and busy life until quite recently. Despite chemo, radiation, and more hospitalizations, surgeries, and setbacks than he willingly admitted, he squeezed in a dream trip to France with mom, Andy, and me, Spain and Portugal with mom, several visits to us in Los Angeles, continued rehearsing and performing with Monmouth Civic Chorus and Princeton Pro Musica, and working on his endless list of projects at the cabin in the Berkshires. In a few months, he and mom would have marked their 54th anniversary, more in love than ever. 

I could tell he was powering through more pain than he let on, but that was dad. He loved his life too much to slow down until he had no choice, and when that time came, we said goodbye at home, all together, on his terms, which anyone who knew him will understand is exactly as it should be. 

We loved each other madly and drove each other (and my mother) crazy because one of the many things I inherited from him is his tenacity–or unshakable stubbornness, depending on your perspective. As people keep telling me, my eyes, my voice, my mannerisms, and so many things that are me were also… him. All my life, anyone who knew him took one look at me and knew I was his kid. 

It’s going to take a long, long time to get used to being in the world without him, but I already hear him in my mind and heart, answering questions I didn’t ask, filling us in on the latest cooking techniques he learned from Jacques Pepin, and telling me how to do things I’ve known how to do for decades–all in that rich, beautiful, booming voice that resonates over every other sound in the world. 

Anyone wishing to honor him, please consider supporting @monmouthcivicchorusnj @princetonpromusica and/or @compassionandchoices 

And *please*, if you have Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, get tested for BRCA 1 & 2. ❤️

In a few months, he and mom would have marked their 54th anniversary, more in love than ever. 

I could tell he was powering through more pain than he let on, but that was dad. He loved his life too much to slow down until he had no choice, and when that time came, we said goodbye at home, all together, on his terms, which anyone who knew him will understand is exactly as it should be. 

We loved each other madly and drove each other (and my mother) crazy because one of the many things I inherited from him is his tenacity–or unshakable stubbornness, depending on your perspective. As people keep telling me, my eyes, my voice, my mannerisms, and so many things that are me were also… him. All my life, anyone who knew him took one look at me and knew I was his kid. 

It’s going to take a long, long time to get used to being in the world without him, but I already hear him in my mind and heart, answering questions I didn’t ask, filling us in on the latest cooking techniques he learned from Jacques Pepin, and telling me how to do things I’ve known how to do for decades–all in that rich, beautiful, booming voice that resonates over every other sound in the world.

Rebecca Metz - 353 Likes - Just saw the news that Audrey died last night. It may seem strange to mourn a giraffe, but Audrey meant a lot to me. She–specifically a photo of her beaming proudly between a bride and groom–is the reason I latched on to the idea of getting married at @santabarbarazoo. And why we’ve ended up with a lot of weird & beautiful giraffe art/tchotchkes. And this photo of Dad feeding her… Well. It’s precious to me. Goodbye, sweet Audrey. Rest easy.

And why we’ve ended up with a lot of weird & beautiful giraffe art/tchotchkes. And this photo of Dad feeding her… Well. It’s precious to me. Goodbye, sweet Audrey. Rest easy.

Rebecca Metz - 266 Likes - Today is @andyhermannla’s birthday. He’s the love of my life, the aisle to my window, and this year more than most, the person keeping me loved, fed, and functional when I don’t have the oomph to do it myself. 

I’m a few thousand miles away from him today, so please help me send a ton of birthday love his way. 

And maybe buy the man a drink. Good gravy, does he deserve it.

And extra deep, tear-soaked, red-sauce-stained gratitude to these three forever ride-or-dies. I must have done something good in this life to deserve to be loved so well.

Rebecca Metz - 173 Likes - I was tinkering with camera settings when I heard - despite my AirPods - what that sounded like a *huge* swarm of bees. Figured it had to be a scooter or something… but it was constant & growing & coming from above. The timer caputured the moment I realized that it was in fact… A HUGE SWARM OF BEES. 🐝 

(I think they were moving back in to the box hives up the hill. Welcome home, beebees!)

Rebecca Metz - 131 Likes - Posted @withregram • @drew_droege All of us weirdos who grew up craving actually funny theatre found your plays and found our people among your fans. You understood the absurdities of the extreme, the casual pettiness and selfishness of individuals, and the screaming loneliness of being on this planet aching to be understood. In college I got to direct “Beyond Therapy” and be in “‘dentity Crisis”, and both experiences shaped my sense of humor, my understanding of character, the whole “the words are funny, just play the truth” thing…. Oh and you were one of my favorite parts of The Secret of My Success, which I have seen countless times. I am forever grateful and forever a fan. Thank you Christopher Durang.
