IN SYMPATHY

Our sincerest sympathies are extended to the family of REALTOR® member, Kim Stackhouse, who passed away on September 30th at her home. Kim faced her illness with courage, strength and kindness. Anyone who touched Kim’s life knew she was an exceptional human being and she will be greatly missed. Kim joined the Board in 1996 and was most recently affiliated with Re/Max Excellence.

We also send our thoughts and prayers to the family of Don DeShano, Managing Broker at Cressy & Everett and President of the ECBOR Board, and his family as they work through the recent loss of his brother-in-law. Losing a close family member is a very difficult life experience and we offer our deepest sympathy.
