Butterflies were released in memory of loved ones at Berwick Qualicum Beach on July 7.
Sandra Odendaal and Doreen Sharratt got a close up look when one butterfly decided to stick around for a while before flying off with the others.
Proceeds from the event will help Oceanside Hospice Society continue to serve individuals and families facing end-of-life issues.
