Nancy lived fully, for her 49 years! Even after her lung cancer diagnosis at age 45, she continued working as long as possible, and remained optimistic. She worked for many years with Datatel Corporation, a Virginia company, in several different positions, including vice president. She also worked for the company from Ohio, and from Minnesota. In one position, she oversaw the users group of colleges and universities using Datatel's software for enrollment, etc. After her death, Datatel offered an educational scholarship in her name, for 7 years --the Nancy Goodhue Lynch Scholarship. Nancy was a beautiful person, and lived life with enthusiasm, optimism and intelligence, and with an open heart and mind. Her life still speaks; her courage and light still shine.

Nancy lived down the street from me in Woodhaven. She was a tall blonde. I remember picking up and driving her to school. A very classy and bright person, even then.

May she rest in peace.

Nancy was in my homeroom. I remember us having totally contrary views of a substitute history teacher whom she adored and I found insufferable.
I'm so sorry that Nancy is no longer with us.

I wrote this piece soon after you passed away.

 

Feel the
vibrations wrapped in tomorrow
glowing gold, pulsing, breathing
through ice crystaled furrow


Hear the
pops/cracks of ditch fires rise as
smoke needles staunch the
sick sweet wind off the silage


See the
grey canvas of early spring
stroked by willow's bitter green
weeping verdant tears
while silent geese take wing

 

I miss you still.

I was de-cluttering a closet and came across a lovely pictures of my best friend, Nancy Goodhue and me. It was taken on the day she and Michael were married.

I loved her and still do.
