Sarah Latch was my favorite teacher at Valley View Elementary School. She instilled a love for music in me that continues to this day.So much so that I became a Texas Music Educator and enjoyed a 31 year career. I thank God that I had the privilege of knowing her. May God bless her family during this time of loss.
Randall, Jaye, and all your family,
Jay and I send our heartfelt sympathy in the passing of your remarkable and much-loved mother. How often we sat behind you all in church, admiring the spunky little lady with the pony tail on the side. She always seemed very "youthful" to me!
Reading her life story, we learned so much about her many gifts and how she shared them to the glory of God! She surely left her mark in the lives of so many children and adults, and so many East Texas music lovers. "We are never ready to say goodbye to our mothers," one of my favorite sayings. She was indeed a model for mothers everywhere, and we know how much you will all miss her. May the Lord bless you and give you His Peace in the days ahead.
Ellen and Jay Gordon

Love,

Though words cannot do much to soften your pain and sadness at this time we understand and appreciate your loss of such a talented and inspirational lady, who above all else...was your mom.

I was blessed to have known Sarah for over 40 years. She was a beautiful, talented lady with a gentle, kind spirit. She was a special lady who brought out the best in the many lives she touched. My deepest sympathy goes out to Randall and Orrin and their families. All of you will be in my prayers. May God give the family and extra measure of His comfort, grace and peace.

It was my privilege to have known Sarah. I will forever cherish the times I was in her company drinking coffee (or for her tea), riding motorcycles or just a fast 'hi there'. She was an inspiration to me and to my youngest daughter. My prayers are with you all and I pray happy memories will be a solace to you in the days ahead. Ridgey McKillop and family
