“Never the spirit was born; the spirit shall cease to be never;
Never was time it was not; End and Beginning are dreams!
Birthless and deathless and changeless remaineth the spirit forever; Death hath not touched it at all, dead though the house of it seems.”
-From the Bhagavad Gita 
It is with both tender hearts and great peace that we give thanks for the life of Carol Armour. We say goodbye to a dear friend, a soul sparkling with the fire of spirit, who gave her life to serving the great mission given to us by Paramahansa Yogananda through our founder, Yogacharya Oliver Black. She leaves behind an example of a soul who hummed in working, serving, meditating, divinely loving, unheard by any, “God, God God.” We invite you to celebrate and honor her life with us by taking a quiet moment to read her obituary and send blessings to her soul. We also invite you to share any reflections or words of love for Carol, which we will compile and share with her husband, Richard.

If you would like to share a story or memory of Carol, we will have several opportunities to do so. If you feel you might be a good candidate to share during the structured service, please reach out. If you wish to share informally at the end, there will be an open time at the end of the ceremony. We will also have time during the meal to share.
