Butterfly release for Heart of Hospice

Dozens of butterflies were released at the Franklin Pocket Park on Saturday, Oct. 5, to honor the memory and celebrate the lives of lost loved ones.
Heart of Hospice held its annual Celebration of Life and Butterfly Release fundraiser with several rows of seats filled with an overflow crowd taking part in the event.
Local playwright Ed “Tiger” Verdin read a selection from one of his plays and local musician Chase Landry performed at the event, which also included the reading of a list of names of loved ones submitted by those attending the event.
