Memories of loved ones were in the air – along with 169 monarch butterflies – at Alive Hospice’s butterfly release in Nashville on May 19.

Participants received their own butterflies to release in memory of cherished family and friends. The monarch butterflies filled the courtyard at Alive Hospice Residence Nashville, even landing on some participants as they made their big debut!

This special event was also a fundraiser that benefits hospice care and grief support services in Middle Tennessee. Thank you to all who were part of this beautiful occasion!
