If you saw Caroline or Cyrus at a cattle show over the past seven months, they were probably trying to sell you something. Caroline was making custom bracelets all the way out in Reno, while Cyrus sold ($5!!) Capri Suns and bottled water straight from his BEAST cooler at the NationalJunior Angus Show — all to raise money for Blakely, Caroline’s sweet friend who was battling aggressive brain cancer.
What Blakely accomplished over these past seven months is nothing short of remarkable. She brought a community together and helped us focus with laser-sharp clarity on what truly matters in life. Livestock ministry prayer groups across the country lifted her up, and families everywhere - at home and so far away - rallied around her.
Tonight, Blakely is safe, healthy, and free in the arms of Jesus. As we reflect on her life, we are reminded of what a blessing she has been throughout this entire journey.
Thank you to our cattle friends across the country for praying for Blakely and her family over these last seven months. She changed our lives for the better.
