Niagara Hospice Butterly Release 2009

Today was the annual Butterfly Release at Niagara hospice to honor those loved ones in our lives who have passes, yet were touched enough to have spent time at the Hospice House. What amazing people they are! This was the first year that ALL of the butterflies have sold out, which is ALOT! This is our second year doing the release and sending out love, hugs, kisses and secret wishes up to grandpa Les bug via butterfly. Mike was able to join us this year as well, which was nice! The memorial gardens surrounding the house and offices are done this year and are SUPER amazing! They turned out so peaceful and calming. What a special place to come and remember those who passed. You can buy a brick in the walkway as well and put names on them.

Hospice Resident House - this is where les was. What a special place.

~This Plaque says this ~
Don't weep for me, for I can not be there,
I've a date with a butterfly, to dance in the air
I'll be singing in sunshine, wild and free.
Playing tag with the wind, while waiting for thee
