I am very sorry for your loss.  I had the privilege to know and work with Nikki at the Educational Service Center for a number of years. Nikki was a gentle spirit who was quick with a kind word, smile, and contagious laughter.  She was outstanding as a educator. Each family knew without a doubt, their child was loved and appreciated. Nikki had such compassion for her students as well as the students' parents. 
May you find peace in the circle of your family and friends and know Nikki made a difference for many, many families.

Dear Peter and Family, 
I worked with Nikki for a few years as the SLP in her classroom at Burbank.  I always admired her  her incredible sense of humor, her impeccable sense of style, and most of all her strength.  We shared lots of laughs, especially over the scatter-brained acts we would both frequently do (locking keys in the car, forgetting our purse, etc.).   I'll never forget her telling us the story about how she couldn't get her car door to stay shut, so she had to rig it with a rope of some sort which she had to hold onto while driving.  We laughed so hard we cried, and I still laugh out loud thinking of that visual.  I will always cherish our friendship, and will miss her dearly.  I will keep you all in my prayers. 
Love,
Jessi Hannig

Peter and Family,

I have had the pleasure of working with Nikki for 7 wonderful years.  She meant more to me than she will ever know.  Nikki always made me feel welcome in her classroom.  She was such a warm, friendly, easy going person and we bonded almost immediately.  We ate lunch together at least one day a week for the last 6 years.  She always spoke of her wonderful family and times at Martha's Vinyard.  She was always so positive and did not take life too seriously.  These were probably my favorite qualities about her.  I could always count on Nikki to give me a good laugh when I needed it the most.  Burbank will never be the same for me.  There will always be someone missing at our lunch table on Friday afternoons.  Again, I am so sorry for your loss and I pray for strength, courage and understanding for all of you.

Chad, Jen and family - I am so very sorry for your loss.  You are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.

Nikki was our son Andrew's favorite teacher at Burbank. He grew so much under her guidance. She will be truly missed.

"They cried out and Jehovah heard;
He rescued them from all their distresses.
Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted;
He saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Many are the hardships of the righteous one,
But Jehovah rescues him from them all.
Psalm 34:17-19

I am deeply shattered by Nikki's passing. Nikki was my autistic daughter Jessica's preschool teacher.  She went far beyond the call as an educator.  After school, she would often walk with me from the school building to my car, holding my daughter's hand, just to fill me in about Jessica's school day.  She not only taught Jessica, but she educated me about many things as well by sharing her own life stories. I looked up to her.  She was an incredible, strong, funny, beautiful woman that I will forever be grateful to have known.

I am so sorry to hear of Nikki's passing.  My daughter Paige had her for two years at Burbank and just adored her.  She was so sweet, caring, compassionte, and such an amazing teacher.  It was a gift that Paige spent so much time with a lovely and understanding person.  I often asked her for advice on how to work with Paige more effectively.  When given the chance, she loved to talk about her family.  My thoughts are with all of you.

I was so very sorry to hear of Nikki's passing.  My thoughts and prayers  for all of her family.  What a wonderful person she was!  Kathy Temple
