Sayre, Pa. – Guthrie Hospice will be hosting its annual Butterfly Release Memorial Service on Sunday, June 13 at 2 p.m. The service will be held at Mt. Pisgah State Park at the Lakeside Pavilion and will celebrate the lives of loved ones that have died this past year. Through careful consideration, the service is planned as an in-person memorial this year, with masking, social distancing, and maximum attendee guidelines in place. Please note that the event details are subject to change, based on COVID-19 in our region. If the event cannot take place in-person, a virtual event will be held instead, on June 13.
As part of this special memorial service, butterflies will be released in memory of each loved one that has died. If you would like to participate in this service of remembrance and release one or more butterflies in memory of a loved one, Guthrie Hospice is requesting a $10 donation for each butterfly to help offset the cost and shipping of the butterflies.
