Sue Ann Strauss

Dear Gerald, Rachel and Marc,
How saddened I am in finding out today of Sue Ann's passing.
My wonderful friend and next door neighbor in NYC was truly an Eishet Chayil (A Woman of Valor) for sure!!
May God comfort you in your grief.

I could hardly believe the news of Sue Ann's passing. I am not an active alum, but I will never forget Sue Anne because I rode back to Houston with her my freshman year, 1973. This was cheaper than flying and allowed me to interact with people that normally would not be a part of my circle of acquaintances.

This may not sound like a significant event, but in 1973, living in Houston, Texas an African American female sharing a 1400 mile drive with three white women was a bit unusual. I...

I am still in Aspen and just learned of Sue Ann's death; I am shocked and saddened. She was here in Aspen in early July, enjoying the beauty of the mountains and the intellectual stimulation of lectures and the music concerts. I hope that she kept the memory of that beauty and peace with her throughout the remainder of the summer. Her love of family and of Mount Holyoke will remain an inspiration to all of those who knew her.

Dear Gerald, Rachel, and Marc,

I remember Sue Ann with fondness when Rachel was in my first grade class at The Fay School. She was such a loving and proud mother of two beautiful children.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Sincerely, Gena Lewis

Gerald, Lewis and kids, my prayers are with you. May God continue to comfort you through your grief.

Dear Gerald, Rachel & Marc--
I am finding it hard to find the words of comfort I wish for you. Sue Ann made a beautiful impact on my life, as she did so many others. This world is a better place because she was here. I send you peace and comfort as you travel through life with the love and lessons she gave you, that will be with you always.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Caren Gertner Fritts

Gerald,

I had the pleasure of meeting Sue Ann for the first time at one of our CP dinner meetings. She was a pleasure to know and a wonderful person. She will be missed.

Are thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sue Ann was a classmate at Mount Holyoke. She was smart, funny and unforgettable. We'll always remember her fondly. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Gerald,
We are sorry for your loss.
