October 29, 2008. Mexico. Kristin Redman.

Kristin has left us and I will miss her. She fought a long and brave battle with cancer, and now she is fighting no more. Since she was first given her diagnosis several years ago she has done everything a person would want to do, given her situation. She travelled as much as possible with Buck, she visited her daughters and their families, she attended to her lovely garden, and she worked with one client at a time. The most important thing she did was show her spirit of gratitude and enthusiasm in everything she did. She certainly was a role model for all of us who at some time will be in her situation. She was a gentle kind lady and I will miss her presence in my life and in the life of the office.

I was always pleased with Kristin and her actions as an agent because she used the business of being a Real Estate agent for her own ends, rather than be driven to succeed. She was a very careful and diligent agent with every transaction, so when she was working with a client I knew and the client knew that she was working hard and competently for the client's wishes. She used the money from her transactions for her travel. She followed the pattern and kept her marketing going out to her area right up until she was not able to continue, but if she was overloaded with work, she referred the client to another agent. Through out her life as an agent in the office she was unfailingly supportive and helpful, not only to me but also to the other agents. She was a fine agent and we are all grateful for her life and her contributions to our lives. But we will miss her.
