Dr. Nan was a wonderful boss, so full of life. One of the best to work with. Someone who listens and helps you figure out the best half-full scenario - not what to do.

Seeing Nan always brought a smile to my face and heart. Her energy was both inspirational and contagious. I will miss her at the Downtown Presbyterian Church and in several groups there where I got to know and enjoy her.
