Suzanne and I were great friends in college before she moved to New York and we lost touch. Reading the obituary today made me reflect on a friend with enormous personal charm and a wonderful sense of humor. She was beloved, kind and generous. I´d like to add this postscript to the write up in the Times , which was mostly factual.
