Not sure what to say?

I was shocked to realize of Suzanne's passing in 2020! Suzanne was a quality, sincere, warm, caring and giving human being of the highest level. She was very passionate about art education and her own art. I had known her for 40 plus years. She always greeted me on the phone with such warmth and care when we talked. She influenced so many people in such a positive way and she will be missed immensely. My Condolences go out to her husband Rick Lange. Rest in peace my dear friend, and I have...

On the Yahrzeit of her death, I want to honor her memory as my respected teacher and friend. I know I was not the only teacher-to-be she befriended and supported throughout my career, especially when the chips were down in my life. And there is not a time when I take pencil to paper or brush to canvass when I do not recall you, Suzanne.May you Rest In Peace, Ahavat B'Sholem, forever in my memory.

Fond memories of Suzanne! I appreciate her creativity, fervor, and dedication. Warm blessings and hugs to Rick, Eric, and her grand kids! Peace and Much Love, Matt Reedy Pine Grove Courtyard Kid

May her memory be a blessing.

My U. of I. @ Chicago Circle Art Education professor, advisor, mentor & friend is gone. I just discovered this because I wanted to contact Suzanne about a new project, a Jewish Childrens' Museum...I knew she'd contribute ideas and maybe some connections, as usual!. She helped me get my first teaching position and later put in a good word for me when I did my first Jewish mural, not to mention gave me a job lead as my marriage was falling apart and so was I...how sorry I am that she is gone....

It was always a pleasure and fun to be with Suzanne and Rick. I couldn't wait to see what they would bring next to sell on consignment at my antique store. I always viewed them as a loving and creative unit who lifted my spirits as I delighted in their loving energy.

Suzanne will be deeply missed. She always showed me kindness and warmth and I will miss her at Blink and at the LCA. Richard, I am so sorry.

Thank you for making me think of the lines of my life. For telling me to "go get a boat" for my installation and for encouraging Kelly and me to keep making music. We are still writing and singing, Suzanne. We owe you. We love you.
