We will miss Nancy for many reasons. Certainly because of our long history together (we met more than 40 years ago) and because of the weekly co-parenting she offered for 10 of those years, and because, even as we saw her less often, each sighting remained warm and loving. But mostly we will miss her because her unique blend of selflessness, equanimity, and essential goodness no longer lives in our world.

Although our friendship ended abruptly almost 30 years ago, i have many fond memories of our adventures together.  From backpacking in the Shenandoah mountains, especially the Old Rag Trip, to our many single adventures ,which included two Washington ISO parties.  I will always remember Nancy as a friend who came into my life for a reason...

In the video, Nancy is playing the tune that my dishwasher plays when it completes the cycle; I had given my students a recording of the tune and asked them to transcribe it for piano, which Nancy did by ear. In the audio that follows, she plays a rendition of "Bye Bye Blackbird". I often record my students in order to simulate some additional pressure, and I think I'd saved this recording because Nancy had made it all the way through the piece without her usual interjections of "oh crap!" and "shoot!" ☺️
