It is with heavy hearts that we compose this. On Thursday, December 4th, Lisa Gunther, our Director of Operations, surrendered to a three-year battle with cancer. Lisa is the sister of Shareholder Mari DeVries and Senior Tax Manager Mike DeVries.

Lisa was an invaluable member of the firm’s management. She was adored by both clients and staff—some of whom affectionately called her “Office Mom”. Lisa was always the eternal problem-solver. She thrived in situations where others needed help. Her keen, natural instinct was always to take challenges and problems off of others’ shoulders, even if it meant her having to work longer hours. Lisa served the nonprofit clients of HBL in various capacities, including crucial support functions spanning from their audits to their tax filings, while simultaneously serving as Director of Operations for our firm. Her quick wit and loving nature has left a hole in our firm that will not soon be replaced, and will not soon be forgotten. She is greatly missed.

Lisa is survived by her husband Dan, and three children, David, Claire, and Aaron. Please join the team at HBL in expressing condolences to the entire Gunther and DeVries families. A celebration of her life will be held Sunday, December 14th 2014 at 5:00 p.m. at Pantano Christian Church, 1755 S. Houghton Rd., Tucson AZ.
