Heartbreaking to have recently learned that Dr. Elissa Faye had passed away over a decade ago. She was an important person and had a lot to offer. Taken from this world way too soon. I hope "Rainbow" will somehow see the light of day, old friend. RIP

Mr. Perlman,
We met once when Elissa and I stopped by your apartment in Glenview. Elissa had not returned any of my calls or emails so I googled her and found out that she had passed. I am deeply shocked and saddened. I'm going to include a picture from happier times. I have many more pictures of Elissa so feel free to contact me at [email protected] if you would like me to pass them along. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. Pete-
