The community is invited to attend a memorial butterfly release ceremony at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 9 at Angel Medical Center.

The ceremony will feature music, inspirational readings and a time of prayer, followed by the release of live butterflies by all in attendance.

“The program is intended to provide a nurturing, renewing experience for people grieving the loss of a loved one,” said Rev. Vic Greene, Angel Hospice Chaplain. “The ceremony is really a celebration of the lives of those being remembered and honored.”

Angel Hospice’s mission is to provide the highest quality hospice and palliative care to their patients and their families.
