Dear George family, My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of your beloved Karen. Have fond memories as Girl Scout leaders in the 1970's, going day camping in Millcreek Canyon. I had the privilege of hiring Karen as a cashier at the Uof Utah Bookstore. She will be missed by every one who has touched her life. Peace and Comfort, Edith Gates
