Remembrance, Hope & Inspiration

Ready and waiting for the release

Release the Butterfly

As you release this butterfly in honor of me know that I am with you and always will be.

Hold a hand, say a prayer close your eyes and see me there.

Although you may feel a bit torn apart please know that I’ll be forever in your heart.

Now fly away butterfly as far as you can go, I’m right there with you more than you know.

Jill Haley

So many smiles!

Watching them take flight

Many of the butterflies stayed around, taking a sip of nectar before they took off on their journey

Butterfly Kisses Almost everyone was kissed by a butterfly at the release. There were 386 butterflies who kissed guests by sitting on hands, shoulders and even our heads

Social Butterflies

Thanks to Farfalla Butterfly Company for raising such social butterflies

A few butterflies needed some time to wake up before fluttering their wings

So with a little help from their friends, the butterflies spread their wings and soared

Thank you for participating in Wings of Hope 2018
