Memorial butterfly release at St. Francis Hospital

 


HSHS Hospice Illinois invites community members to join them for a butterfly release ceremony at St. Francis Hospital in Litchfield on Thursday, June 2, at 5:30 p.m. in the circle drive in front of the hospital by the St. Francis statue.

“The butterfly represents the transformation of the spirit as our loved ones transition from this life. We look forward to sharing in this special time with the families in our communities,” said Shawna O’Dell, director of post-acute care.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate and remember the life of a loved one who has passed. The ceremony will include a butterfly release and the reading of the names of those being honored.

To participate in the ceremony, please RSVP to Valerie Engelbart, volunteer/bereavement coordinator, at 217-685-0702 or email [email protected]. Butterflies will be released for all of those honored, but you are invited to personally release a butterfly for your loved one by reserving a butterfly for $15 to be paid prior to the ceremony.
