Merri K. Sullivan

We miss you more everyday. There are so many reminders of you in the beautiful art you created for us.
Think about you everyday my beautiful girl.

Love you always,
Mom and Dad

I am so very sorry to hear about Merri. It is hard to believe as she was my cousin. I didn't really know her as an adult, however; have many good memories from when we were growing up. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I have happy memories growing up and spending time together with cousins Merri, Carolyn and Margaret in Illinois and on family visits to Florida. After reading all the wonderful tributes, I only wish I had gotten the chance to know Merri as the wonderful woman she had become. With deepest sympathy. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

We have lost an angel but Merri has joined the angels in the galaxy. I think of Merri and Chip every time I look at the beautiful fence they built and painted for me in my yard and the lovely breakfast nook they built. Both with Merri's gorgeous artistic touch. I feel very blessed to have known Merri and her calmness and beauty. My prayers are with Chip and family. Chip, a grandpa, wow. Fun, fun. Chip is always so full of fun. May heavens light shine on all the family and friends.

Chip, Alex & Riley -
When I think of Merri, I remember her beauty, her talent, her sweet disposition, and the great love she had for her family. The impact of her loss is superseded only by the impact her life has had on others. I'm very grateful to have met her. My prayers are with you.

Thank you for always bringing bright colors, a warm heart, strength, and a great sense of humor to every occasion. You will be greatly missed but never forgotten. We are truly grateful to have your artwork as a great reminder and every tandem bike ride is in your honor! Purple orchids will forever bloom in your memory.

This past week has been filled with so many memories of Merri. I can hear her laughter when I think of her, and what a great laugh she had! She was such a bright and beautiful woman who touched us all so profoundly. And her artistic talents were truly awesome. We are all so blessed to be able to look at her many works of art, to be with her family and many friends, and be able to recapture some of her energy. This is her gift to us.

We look forward to sharing our love and...

Chip, Alex, Riley, Uncle Dave, and Aunt Pat,

Just want to send our deepest sympathy upon the loss of Merri. After reading through the messages left from friends and family, Merri was a wonderful and fun loving person who will be greatly missed. I have many great memories from our childhood in Illinois. I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers and know that Merri will be forever in your hearts.

Love,

Steven and Gayle (Schramer) Severson
