After more than a year of loss and sadness caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, St. Paul’s PACE Nemeth in El Cajon and Silverado Hospice joined together Wednesday to release 25 painted lady butterflies in honor of those who have died from the virus.
Administrators wanted to help staff and program participants heal from the coronavirus losses they experienced in their personal lives, as well as those who have died from the PACE program, said Preston Choctaw, center director for St. Paul’s PACE Nemeth.
Choctaw said the butterflies symbolize hope, and that the event can provide some relief and comfort to others, like himself, who have lost loved ones.
