I want to thank you for all the advice and concern you've given me since I've become a single dad. We first met in the early 80's at The School of The Art Institute in Chicago, then you where still Suzanne Perlstein ... then we lost contact for perhaps 25+ years. And, after all those years traveling down all those roads, you re-engaged when I was in desperate need. I want to thank you again ... so I'm closing my eyes and blowing you a kiss though space and time ... xoxox ... paul I’m so impressed by the outpouring of love for you Suzanne, all the genuine emotion … the impassioned mathematics … so many of your friends, still seeking to put two and two together.

I hadn't talked to her in a while and she never told me what has happening with her health. I first met her when visiting NY in 91 or 92 and stopping by some of the galleries in SOHO that catered to photographs. She was working for Cuzzi Phifer (sp?) gallery at the time. We've been friends ever since. I even have some of her very large paint-on-cibachrome self-portraints in my house in NJ. She was a lively and gifted spirit. She will truly be missed.

The last time I saw her was at a concert in Central Park and she was just as sweet and positive as I've always known her to be. The first Issue Project Room location on East 6th st. was not even a half a block away from my apartment. I would often see Suzanne walking to or from the office and we would always stop and hug each other and talk a little bit. She booked my quartet to play at Issue which was one of the first Jazz groups to somewhat "christen" the venue. I will miss her dearly.

How enthusiastic and trusting and supportive of artists. How big a presence in our lives, how important to our work, how gracious in your interactions. Thank you for everything. I had hoped to deepen our friendship -- we were fairly new to each other -- but now you will deepen in my memory. You will not be forgotten. Bless you.
