I have so many fond memories of Nancy! She was an incredible and longstanding volunteer and board member for the Center for Hearing & Speech. She was an accomplished, witty and most delightful human being who showed me not only direction but also true friendship. I send my condolences to her daughters and family.

I enjoyed working for Mrs. Burke some years ago. She was a very nice client to work with and so sorry for her loss to the family.
