Tragedy in Beverly Hills

It's been a rough week. Last Wednesday, my trusted assistant, Wilma Winer passed away. Victoria, my other assistant, and I could barely make it through the rest of last week. In fact, it took all of us in the office by surprise.

Today, we celebrated her life and her service to Nourmand & Associates that started in 1976, the same year that my husband, Saeed, opened the Brentwood office.

Last Friday, her daughter and I packed her belongings. It was nearly unbearable to see her desk empty and lifeless.

My colleagues, family, and friends have expressed incredible support. And my clients have been truly understanding. From the bottom of my heart, I thank them all.

The following is the message I sent out to the Westside real estate community that announced her passing:

Dear Friends,

Our kind, warm, dependable, huggable Wilma Winer has passed away. Our hearts are broken and saddened with tremendous grief. Wilma was a wonderful friend; she was always nurturing and giving.

A truly respected member of the real estate community, Wilma has been a member of the Nourmand family since 1976. Her memory will be cherished by all who knew her.

You are invited to a celebration of her life with us on Tuesday, June 30th from 3:30-5:30 p.m.

Everyone at Nourmand & Associates would like to extend our deep and heart felt condolences to all who mourn her passing.
