Annual Butterfly Release and Picnic
We hope you’re making plans to join us with your family and friends on September 20 at Shelter 6 at Concord Park, from 1:00-3:00! The program will include poetry readings, crafts, and a special invocation. We’ll be eating around 1:30, and the highlight of the afternoon is the annual butterfly release after lunch.

Our Clint
The joy you gave when you came that day
forever in our hearts will stay.
The love you gave to us here
will always in our lives endure.
Your special hug and wonderful grin,
your love of animals our hearts did win.
The games you played and the friends you had
sure made life busy for mom and dad.
Those beach memories when we played all day
are never going to fade away.
All the trips to Disney World bring us joy
as we remember the characters and rides with our baby boy.
Each memory of you is always a treasure
and our love for you, time cannot measure.
We’ll never understand why you left that day,
but in our lives you always will stay.
Words cannot describe the loss and pain we feel
and four years later, it still doesn’t seem real.
As time slips swiftly away,
we know we’ll see you again one day.
