Nearly 30 years after last seeing Susan I had lunch with her. In the 70s I was her boyfriend and truely did love her. I will never forgot her. While we went our separate ways at one point I don't think it ever completely separated our hearts. Susan was an intelligent, witty, personable and sexy girl/woman. I have never forgotten her nor ever will. I still have many pictures of her to remember her by.....and to think she is gone is almost surreal. I have several years of memories with her....and I am so glad for those. Susan and I shared a lot togehter.....at one point thoughts of sharing a life together. Nothing, I think, will assuage the bereament I feel over this....and in fact the sympathy and sorrow for her family...Mom, Dad, Gina and Larry. Susan I so loved you....and have always had a love for you in my heart throughout the years. I will miss you.

My husband Steve and I are so sad to learn of Susan's passing. We'll cherish our memories of her, and our prayers go out to all of those who knew and loved her. Susan and I met in 1979 in D.C. during our college internships and had visited each other and stayed in touch ever since. She was the polished one, the creative one, the one who could turn a unique phrase. She stayed with us in D.C. a few springs ago to photograph the cherry blossoms; I don't think we ever got to see the cherry blossoms because we were having so much fun sitting around talking and sipping cocktails! I'll miss that girl and always wish I'd been able to be of more comfort to her in those last few years. --Cindy Barkanic, Bethesda, MD

I have always considered Susan to be my very first friend. While our visits were infrequent, I felt a special bond with Susan that went well beyond the fact that we were also part of an extended family of cousins. I remember playing with Susan in the apartment building in which we both lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn; and I also recall family vacations. Although that was more than 40 years ago, I remember it like it was nearly yesterday. I knew that I needed to travel from North Carolina to New York to pay my respects and say good-bye to my cousin, my friend. I was reminded of our bond when at the funeral home I saw the picture of both of us as toddlers playing on the sidewalk in Brooklyn. Susan was very special to me, and I will miss her greatly. Her suffering has ended, and she is now at peace. With deepest sympathy............Donald Cimorelli

I was surprised to hear of Susan's passing. Having spent some time talking with Susan I was impressed by her gentleness. I will miss running into her on the streets of Manhattan and being greeted warmly. I will miss her.

I'm in great shock hearing about Susan's passing. She was always so vital and had so much to contribute to conversations. She was also incredibly creative and I was quite inspired by her transformation from another career into photography. She will be hugely missed by all of us in the photo world.

I would like to send my deepest condolences to all Susan's family and friends. I had the great pleasure of working with Susan on events for the NY chapter of APA and feel very lucky to have known her. I am so sorry to hear of this loss.
