“Sincerest and deepest condolences go out to the family of Karen Gruver Spearing. What a wonderful person and an ever giving soul. Karen was one of the first people I got to know at the UofA. She was always a bright spot in the day and so wonderful to be around. The world will be a little darker without the bright light of Karen to shine our way. RIP Karen.”
