Memorial Butterfly Release
In Loving Memory of Addie
“Her wings started a movement — our army keeps it flying. “
A special Memorial Butterfly Release will be held to honor Addie’s life, celebrate her legacy, and remember the strength, love, and hope she continues to inspire. Butterflies have become a meaningful symbol of Addie’s story, representing transformation, resilience, and the beauty of a life that continues to touch others. During this memorial moment, family members will come together to release butterflies in her honor, creating a shared experience of remembrance, connection, and hope.
This quiet and meaningful tribute offers a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate the love that surrounds us — reminding us that even the smallest wings can create lasting change. By invitation only.
