Thank you all for your messages of love and compassion. Y’all are all deeply appreciated. 

Wednesday morning at 6:30 a.m., Caryl stepped through the Pearly Gates and into the arms of Jesus. I was with her along with Joy. Services of visitation will be Friday evening the 9th from 4-8 P.M. and 9:30-11:00 A.M. Saturday with a memorial celebration service at 11:00 A.M. at Brentwood Baptist Church, 7777 Concord Road, Brentwood, TN.

 

Caryl wondered when I bought the farm, “Where do I fit in this picture?” It did not take her long to fall in love with the peace and tranquility of living on a large property with a river going through it with many waterfalls, ponds with turtles, frogs and 7 lb large mouth bass for grandkids to catch.....but most of all was her love for the birds and butterflies. We saw her as our Monarch Butterfly.

 

Caryl was compassionate about people and the need for everyone to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. She was an encourager and she had a lifestyle evangelical impact. Many people use words.....she lived it! 

 

Caryl requested “no flowers” at her funeral. As a result, we have established a memorial to her called Monarch Outreach Ministry or M.O.M. It is part of Compass World Outreach which supports evangelical missions to reach the lost for Christ.

 

If you would like to make a memorial contribution in her memory to M.O.M., checks should be made payable to Compass World Outreach with M.O.M. in the subject line and mailed to P.O. Box 1524 Manchester, TN 37349. 

 

100% of the proceeds will be used to fund her favorite ministries. Those ministries last year reached over 1,000,000 souls for Christ! 

 

In recognition for your gift and at your request, it is our intention to share with you an Origami butterfly. It would be like the ones pictured which were lovingly hand made by her best friend in life, Randi Hirschman of Palmer, Alaska.

 

Thank you for your outpouring of love. She would be humbled by all of this effort on her behalf! That is who she was!
