The Butterfly
The butterfly seen in the pictures above
has a story.
The butterfly was first seen on a car at Freedom Baptist Church
after Rickie's funeral service. All of the vehicles, including this car,
traveled
a few miles to Blue Ridge Chapel where the burial was to take place
and the butterfly was still on the car. During the burial service
the butterfly was seen resting on the casket and vault. I was able
to snap some picture after the burial service was concluded.
