Can't believe Sara's been gone for 9 years already. I will always miss her sense of humor and no nonsense outlook on life.

Sara is my sister and she is still missed by her family and many friends. She worked hard to achieve her goal of earning an MD and practicing at Hartford Hospital. She loved gardening, had a beautiful garden she cared for by her self and loved it.
Her happiest time was going with our brother Chris to China to adopt her daughter Olivia. Parenting Olivia brought great joy to her life.
Now that Olivia is an adult she lives with Chis and Shaunna and her
pet dog. She is going to college and also volunteers at a dog shelter.
Those that love Sara still miss her humor, love of Olivia, and her great sense of humor.

I can't believe it's been just over 4 years since we lost Sara. I still have fond memories of her patient dedication and sense of humor. What I wouldn't give to hear a few words of her biting sarcasm again! She is still sorely missed.

To the Knuth family, I am so saddened by your loss. I met Sara in 1974 when she lived on Buswell Street in Boston. There was an amazing friendship with the NY and MA people. I spent time with Sara and my extended family in NY as well as Sara adopted by my Marblehead family. Sara has and always will hold a special spot in my heart for her great personality, sense of humor, and genuine warmth. If any family would like to contact me, please do not hesitate and would welcome the contact. Sara, you made the world a better place by being you, I was so lucky to have met such an amazing woman.
