"A Memorial Butterfly Release"

"A Memorial Butterfly Release"

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

It was an honor to release a monarch butterfly for a dear friend who recently lost her husband. He served in Vietnam, was a godly man, and was an awesome cook.

He suffered quite a bit, but never complained.

     When I would ask him how he was doing, he would say, “I’m doing okay.” 

     I’d reply, “I look forward to the day when you can say, 'I’m doing good.’” 

That day never happened, but he is in Heaven and praising his creator today. He is whole and running the streets of gold.

I will miss you, dear one, and look forward to our reunion.

Once again, I am releasing monarch butterflies in memory or honor of a loved one. I don’t have many yet. Please read all:)

Last year I released about 50 butterflies in honor/memory of loved ones. I also let some children name the butterflies and then release them. It brought me immense pleasure! It brings me joy knowing it brings joy to others. I have also enjoyed hearing your comments of joy because of the release:)

If you have a friend or family member who would like a butterfly released in memory or honor of a loved one, please reach out to them and ask them if they would like one released. If you or they would like a butterfly release, please visit my Facebook photography page and look for the above photo and leave your request there.

I am also posting this on my other social media platforms. To be fair, I will go in order they are requested unless there is a specific date that coincides best with the release of that butterfly. 

****There is one exception. If you have already had one released, I will let the new people go before you:)****

I will try to take a cellphone photo or video of the release if I can. The butterflies don’t always cooperate. I will inform you when I post your special butterfly.

"Fallen Vietnam Vet Given Special Honor the Day After Memorial Day With a Butterfly Release"

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

Today this butterfly is being released in memory and honor of Pfc. Schroeder who was killed in action in Vietnam in 1968.

The release is special because the butterfly eclosed (came out of his chrysalis) on Memorial Day 2020. My dear friend's husband served in Vietnam. I asked if he had anyone he would like a butterfly to be released for. He did. 

This video talks about the tribute and butterfly release.

The butterfly takes its first real flight.
