The silence will continue for a little while longer. On Monday, I had started a statewide tour with the University Singers when I received the news of my grandmother’s passing.

The obituary can be found on Newsday:

WINTER-Lillian on March 7, 2005. Beloved wife of Seymour. Loving mother of Jeffrey (Beverly), Susan Zacherman (Joseph) and Donna Fee (Jack). Cherished grandmother of Jarrod (Molly), Joe, Avi, Sean, Jonathan, Casey and Riley. Great-grandmother of Solomon. Her humor and laughter will be deeply missed by all her loving family and friends. Graveside Services, Wednesday 2:30PM, at New Montefiore Cemetery, Pinelawn, LI. Arrangements by I.J. Morris, Inc., 46 Greenwich St., Hempstead, NY.
