Not sure what to say?

You were always so poised and beautiful on I've Got a Secret Show, loved watching you. Rest in peace. Bev J Houston, Texas

This was truly an amazing person with so much talent the loss is clearly ours. Prayers fill our hearts and burst forth from our mouths to God asking him to let us remember clearly the love we have for this wonderful person gone from our lives never forgetting the joy we shared experiencing a great and authentic talent. (Hebrews 6:10).

Bess spoke to the northern Caifornia women who were members of Another Mother for Peace. What a beautiful and strong woman she was. Phyllis Osborn

Sure am going to miss Bess, I read or heard, she was the first Jewish Miss America. Pretty interesting! She was always nice looking, and grace under fire, and, like the rest of us, had opinions of her own, whether anybody agreed with her, or not. She will be terribly missed, but never forgotten. Loved her on
t. v., when I was a kid, too!

The family has lost their love one and the world has lost a beautiful lady. Bess was a true example of what a Ms. America should be. She was very personable and had a dazzling smile whenever she appeared on tv. May her daughter and granddaughter have peace at this sad time. An Admirer

Heartfelt sympathy goes to the family of Bess Myerson. May you find comfort in happy memories and in the words at Psalm 46: 1, God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress.

R.I.H Bess

She was my idol as a young girl. I'm sorry to hear about the tragedy in her life...I thought she was terrific both then and now! I hope other young girls have a princess in their life like I did in Miss America, Bess Myerson. To her family, my sincere sympathy.
