I was just listening to a Joni Mitchell song and remembered Sarah and googled her. I´m so sad for the Sarah´s family and friends. She was my friend in Glastonbury, HCW and Smith. Her resume and commitments were always serious but she had the most marvelous laugh and sense of humor.

Sarah was my Primary are Doc for many years. She was incredibly supportive as I shared my life with her. Sarah was so knowledgable about the latest treatments. I will always treasure the time she took care of me with medical expertise combined with compassion. My sincere condolences to all of her family and loved ones.
Sincerely,
Janet Andrews

I worked with Sarah at the VA. She took the not easy position of being our Chief. She valued the service of our Veterans and got them their care. She was an advocate for her staff. I was shocked to hear of her passing. But, to her family, please know she made an impact. I will keep Dr Kemble close to my heart. I will miss her.

Growing up with Sarah, I remember her as a unique, kind, accepting and highly intelligent person and a lot of fun to be with too. Altruism was in her nature and there were no walls of elitism when it came to her actions. Sarah's convictions and passion for helping others obviously led her down a remarkable path. Her accomplishments in life were extraordinary. My deepest sympathy to her family.

My condolences to Sarah's family. I knew her through her work on single payer-an issue near and dear to her heart. She cared so much about people and wanted everyone to have access to health care. I do hope her family takes comfort in knowing that she was respected and admired by so many.

I a so sorry to hear about this. I met Sarah a few times in person through her activism for health care for all, and I communicated with Sarah many times through email through our shared commitment to this issue. This is a loss to everyone, and I am so sorry to hear that such a caring human being has left us so soon. My sympathies to all of Sarah's family.
