Political Quotes

“Today I celebrate the life of Nan Herring Burnside, a constituent and fellow educator whose death on October 14 represented a great loss to all who knew her, particularly the many students whom she has helped and their grateful parents. Upon graduation from the University of Miami, Nan became a teacher in the Miami area, and she remained there for the next 35 years. She was a co-principal at Bay Point School, an alternative educational and rehabilitation center focusing on behavior management for troubled youths. She was a devoted Christian, and an active member of the First Baptist Church of Perrine. She shared her faith openly with those around her, and was an inspiration to family, friends and students. Nan personified all that was good and noble in this world. She will be sorely missed, especially by her family, the Bay Point community, and all who will continue to work hard to ensure that her legacy lives on in changing the lives of our troubled youth.”
