A fairly nondescript bridge 50 miles south of Boston connects two states, two towns, and two families. Sixty feet of concrete rebuilt in 2011, dedicated to the memories of Lynn Goodchild and Shawn Nassaney tragically lost on September 11, 2001.
The young couple planned a quick four-day trip to Hawaii before settling down to earn MBA degrees at Providence College. They were passengers on United Flight 175 out of Logan Airport bound for Los Angeles on 9/11.
For a couple who loved to travel — a bridge named in their honor is perhaps a fitting memorial. “Bridges take you places, and they went everywhere,” said Shawn’s brother Ryan from his home in North Attleboro.
Two decades later, the passion in which Lynn and Shawn lived their lives continues to inspire all those that they touched.
