Pat and family,

I was very lucky to share part of my life with Sue and the rest of the family. In a time like this the one thing I do know is that Sue was and is a very special person that has touched many people. Thank you all for the moments I have had the privilege of experiencing with her and all of you. We love you and know that with such a loving and tight family you will hurt, reminisce, but most importantly pull together as a family. We all love you and share in your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very difficult time.

To the Koch and Merryman families:
I'm sorry I forgot to sign my complete name.

Growing up in the Merryman neighborhood brings back pleasant memories. Sue Ann will always hold a special place in my heart, as I know she does in yours. The "firsts" will be the hardest... Birthdays, Holidays, Vacations, Anniversaries,but you will always have the loving memories. My prayers are with you.

My Prayers are with you.

I am still in shock over the loss of Sue Sue. I still seems so unreal. She was an amazing woman with a huge heart. She touched my life in a way I will never forget. I feel truly blessed to have known her. She will always have a very special place in my heart.

She touched so many lives & will be missed by all.

I feel so privileged to have been a part of celebrating my counsin Sue Ann's life these last 2 days. Hearing the stories and of the love, compassion and generosity for not only her family and friends but even strangers was so touching. There are not words to desribe how special she really was. She will be missed.

Koch & Merryman Family,
We are so sorry for the loss of Sue Ann for your family and for all who knew her. She was a wonderful loving and caring person who always put others before herself. Doug, we saw first hand her loving ways from witnessing her special relationship with your mom. Betty told us many times how she would be lost without Sue Ann. We remember with fondness the good times and laughter coaching and playing on the Shadyside Womens Softball team years ago. A special prayer is being sent to ease your sorrow with hope that your wonderful memories will soothe the loss.

Our heartfelt prayers to all the family. So many share in your sorrow.
There are some people you just love running into; Sue was one of those people for me. No matter how long it had been, we would just laugh and seem to always pick up where we left off. She was a bundle of energy! She will be missed by so many.

We are so sorry for your loss. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family and all who loved her.

Doug,
My prayers and heart felt sorrow go out to you and your family. My memories of Sue Ann go back to the time you lived out in the country while working at Sammis and you just had the little girls, I remember telling you and Sue Ann that it reminded me of the show, "Little House on the Prarie ". I also remember the ski trip we went on.
I pray that God will reach out and confort you and your family at this time of need.
Bob Bertram

We are so sorry for your loss and that we did not have a chance to meet Sue, who was obviously a well loved, strong and wonderful woman. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Doug and family,,Mike and I are in shock over Sue's passing,,,you are all in our prayers.. We always think of the two of you,especially during football season. Sue and her cow bells and me yelling. God Bless all of you during your time of need.. Laura and Mike

Elliott and family, my prayers for the loss of your mother (wife). I remember what a bundle of energy she was during Mike's stay at Heidelberg and all the great things she did for him and the other boys.

Please take time to reflect and enjoy the memories of her life. God bless you all.

Let me first say that I am sorry for the loss of a great woman. Also let me thank the entire Koch family for accepting me into their family. Sue and family did many great things for me while I attended Heidelberg and those gestures will never be forgotten! The Blankenship family is praying for all of you and please let me know if I can be of any assistance as you all were for 4 wonderful years!

Words truly can't describe how shocked and saddened we are to hear of the loss of Sue. We share in your grief and hope you find some comfort in prayer.

Stephanie,
We are so sorry to hear the passing of your mother. It is our loss to have never met her. Glenn and I have you in our hearts praying for comfort and healing at this difficult time. A parent is a great loss but you will draw great strength from her memory.

Dear Doug & Family....Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. I vividly remember Sue Ann at the FirstEnergy softball games....she was always there to help...plus make things fun. A truly wonderful person.

Stephanie and Jill - I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are both in my thoughts. You are both such strong women and I know that you will both use that strength to help each other through this difficult time.

I was filled with great sadness as I learned of Sue Ann's passing. Sue Ann was my babysitter and neighbor in Shadyside. She was a great influence and role model. I remember growing up with her and her siblings in our neighborhood and how much I looked up to her when she was a teenager. I remember the summers she babysat my brother and I. We were the coolest kids for getting to hang around with her. I have no doubt her vibrant and engaging personality continued throughout her life. I want to express my deepest condolences to her mother, siblings, husband and children.

I'm so sorry for your loss.Sue Ann was such a nice person with a great sense of humor.I have many fun memories of her when we played high school basketball together.

Doug,
We are praying for you and your children as well as Sue Ann's family. We will always remember Sue Ann as an energetic, fun person with a great attitude. We know how much she cherished you and your children by the wonderful Christmas letters she wrote every year. It was very obvious how precious family was to her. Our condolences to you all.
Love, Skeeter & Mac
