Roxanne Kolder of Parkersburg has never missed Release & Remember since its inception. She began attending after her mother, Ivadean Frey, died in 2012, and four years later, her husband Randy died. She lost her father Richard three months after that.

โ€œThere is something so symbolic about the day. Iโ€™m able to do something meaningful for [my family] and for me. You need to have something to hold onto, and this event fills all of that for my family and me.โ€ โ€“ Roxanne Kolder ๐Ÿฆ‹

Roxanne continues to support Cedar Valley Hospice by dedicating butterflies in honor of her loved ones. Dedicate a butterfly of your own and read more Release & Remember stories of care by visiting cvhospice.org/events/release-remember
