Stephanie Murphy Will Be Missed

It was a very sad day today for our Market Center in Big Bear Lake because Stephanie Murphy lost her battle with cancer today.

I am sorry to say that I didn't know Stephanie very well. She got sick within months of me joining Keller Williams, but she was loved by all who knew her. When she started her treatments the whole company rallied, organizing drivers to take her to her treatments more than 50 miles away, while others cooked Stephanie's family dinner every night, purchasing the food, cooking it and delivering it to them by 5:30p so the family could have a home cooked meal when Stephanie was recovering from her treatments.

We were all so amazed to see her complete a 5K like the athlete she was soon after finishing what turned out to be her first round of treatments. And we were all so sad when she told us that those treatments didn't work. Through it all Stephanie was a pillar of strength and grace. Those close to her told me that in the last few weeks she was most concerned about helping those who loved her let her go.

Stephanie was beautiful and smart. She was a fiercely devoted Mom and a great Realtor. At 43 she leaves behind her husband Mark and their two teenaged sons. Her Keller Williams family will also miss her deeply.
