Suzanne Stamps Rheinstein

I am so very sorry to learn of Mrs Rheinstein's passing. I recently purchased her books and have loved them and felt there would be a lot more to come from this clever lady.
My thoughts are with Suzanne's family and friends. And I understand the grief they feel, that cruel disease are struck my family on several occasions.
My love to you from someone far away on a little island, called the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom.

I miss my beautiful, sophisticated , glamorous cousin! I admired her my entire life!

What a lady! I never knew Mrs. Rheinstein personally, but I have followed her career and life since the early nineties in the pages of HG magazine. I was instantly drawn to her English Country style and so amazed by her mention of getting some of her furniture at local tag sales. Throughout the years, her projects and stores were featured in various decorating magazines. I always took notice with amazement.
I was able to hear her beautiful voice for the first time in a video tour of her home with Joe Ruggiero. I still remember her mention of her garden and the unique plants she grew. Later, Quintessence allowed for more samplings of that wonderful voice.
I have all three of her books and cherish them as a memory of a great lady. Mrs. Rheinstein was a true southern lady!

I just purchased her lovely book, published just before her passing. I was immediately stricken because my brother, a professor at Tulane and practitioner at Ochsner, died on February 10. I´m happy she leaves a wonderful legacy of design and beauty. My condolences to her family.

The passing of Suzanne has tugged at the hearts of all who knew and loved her. I was a classmate of Suzanne at Newman School in New Orleans. She took the school by storm - her beauty, her loveliness in every way....elected a cheerleader and Homecoming Queen. Suzanne graduated and went to Pine Manor Junior College in Wellesley, MA, as I did (a small girls college of only 250 students.) In her freshman year there, Vogue Magazine made an award to the 10 Best Dressed College Girls in the country and Suzanne was selected as one!!!! From the time we knew her in high school, everyone knew that she was someone special..and she surely proved that in her illustrious career. Our country lost a beautiful lady but her memory will live on in the hearts of all whose life she touched.

I live in New Orleans and remember Suzanne when her family lived on the corner of Jefferson & Claiborne. My fine memoy was when Suzanne & I were invited to a party at New Orleans Country Club one Sunday afternoon.
I asked a friend to let me use his motorcycle for a day. I picked her up at her house and then the two of us proceeded to go to the Clubhouse. We both had so much fun riding through streets to get there. When we got there everyone could not believe we had done this.
When Suzanne came some years ago to New Orleans we reconnected with each other at some parties. Mutual friends had invited her to go to their houses at Audubon Place.
A few weeks ago I read El Decor and enjoyed reading about her accomplishments. I will say some prayers for your family.
