Not sure what to say?

So sad to hear of Sarah's death. She was a great mentor, teacher, and, inspiration. I couldn't have made it through my junior high years without her...Bonnie Harris Moore

I've only known her for 1 1/2 years but in that time we shared really great conversations. She must have been an awesome teacher. She even taught how to direct a choir. That lesson will stay with me forever, along with the fond memories of this wonderful woman who I knew all too briefly.

Sarah was simply a good friend to Me. My daughter, however, despite her hectic schedule--was able to work in 1 piano lesson. In just 45 minutes--Sarah advanced her playing of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata from--a competent exercise... to... Music.

Thanks Sarah--You're the best & I miss You.

I met Sarah when I was just six years old she took me under her wing that halloween night my costume was torn and she took me inside and fixed it with tape. A friendship was born that night and for 50 years we remained friends, Sarah was truly one of my greatest gifts in life and will live forever more in my heart. rest in peace my dear dear friend.

Sarah was a faithful member of Keyboard Education of Youth Society, now known as GEMTA.

Rest in peace. I enjoyed my time as a piano student with Sarah Bess.

Mrs. Bess is now sharing her musical talents in Heaven, leading the Choir and providing the Music.
