Sadly, I received word that Sara passed away. I will always remember her as a kind and generous lady. I first met her in the early 1990's at Chrysler Museum during a performance of Norfolk Public School's Strolling Silver Strings. I was one of the directors. She introduced herself and shared her admiration for the young musicians. The following Spring, at her suggestion and with her generous financial support, the Strolling Strings were on the way to a wonderful performance tour of France, Italy and Switzerland. Many of these young students had never travelled away from Virginia. Again, at her urging and with her support, two subsequent editions of the Strolling Strings had the opportunity to enjoy this experience. She was a knowledgeable chaperone and guide on two of these tours. More than a hundred students benefited and now, as young adults, they still count this as a life changing experience. I know that our experience was only one of many examples of her love and compassion for others.

She was a wonderful lady. I know you will miss her terribly. She meant so much to me as a child growing up at Park Place - I am sorry I can not be with you today for her service. God Bless you all!

Jimmy, so sorry to hear about your mother. Although I only met her once, she made a lasting impression. Such a huge contribution she made to society. We are all blessed by her philanthropy and loving heart. My condolences to your family, and a hug to your dad. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

Aunt Sara has and will always be remembered for her brilliance, her beautiful smile and her strength. In charge, she devoted herself to her family, the less fortunate, both near and afar. An inspiration to all, a true leader, she left her mark upon us all. We are blessed to have loved her and all she represents. The world is truly a better place for us, having shared our lives with her. God certainly has blessed all who she touched.
Her memory is great and she will not be forgotten.
Thank you Aunt Sara, you are our hero!
