Susan was a wonderful, caring, kind person...such a hard worker and so dedicated to helping her clients and friends. I really am so saddened to hear of her passing. My condolences, thoughts and prayers to her family and friends at this most difficult time.

We extend our condolences and prayers to Susan's husband, son and daughter and all of the "Merritt siblings". May she RIP.

I was heartbroken to hear of Susan's passing. She helped my husband and I when times were tough and she was always optimistic and we always made it through. I first met Susan many years ago at Christmas Tree Shops where I work and had a business relationship. My husband and I send our heartfelt sympathy to all her family. May she rest in peace. God Bless. Betsy and Jimmy Roderick

I was so sad to hear of Susan's passing. Cape Cod was lucky to have had such a tireless and expert attorney working on our behalves. And personally, Susan was a gifted mentor, advice-giver and priority-setter. I will miss her and offer my most heartfelt condolences to your family.

My beautiful friend of 40 years, I will miss you horribly. I loved all our wonderful phone chats, and was always thrilled when I heard your sweet voice on the end of the phone, calling to catch up. We were always such great supports for each other, particularly the past few years -- with both our common cancer journeys and trials and tribulations as women business owners. So many great laughs during our time at UCONN, and in recent years. Much, much love to you and your wonderful family. May they all know how much I treasured our friendship and will continue to treasure it. Your incredibly tough journey is over here on earth and it gives me some peace to know you are at peace, but you will always be in my thoughts and heart. Your beautiful light will shine on always, and you will always be part of our lives.

My condolences to the Glenny family. I met Susan many years ago when I was an assistant teacher at the YMCA daycare program and Andrew was about 4 or 5 years old...always wearing sweatpants and snow boots. I knew that she was an attorney and I admired her ability to balance work and family. I had no idea until I read the obituary that she successfully battled breast cancer twice in the past...what an amazingly strong woman she was, in body and spirit to have endured such challenges. I wish for peace for all of her family and friends. Sincerely, Lisa (Clark) Pulsifer

Susan, my friend, you were a true warrior in all that you did, especially to the end. You inspired me to always keep fighting the good fight. I will miss you so much but know you will be helping me from heaven in a special way with all of my cases and to battle on. Peace and love my friend. Mary
