36 FOCUS - SEPTEMBER 2018 “ utterflies are the symbol of the soul,” Lynda noted, adding that it is well known that our loved ones in spirit try to communicate with us from the other side. “What if you could set the sign?” she asked herself. That’s what Heavenly Butterflies is all about. When you see a butterfly, it’s a heavenly sign! Approximately four years ago, a friend of hers passed away suddenly of a heart attack at the young age of 42. Lynda wanted to do something meaningful to help his 11-year-old daughter with her grief. She went to Millar’s Market (a store in Port Perry at that time) and purchased two butterflies. They were actually Christmas tree orna- ments. One was gold and one was silver, and they were very pretty and shiny with rhinestones. Lynda gifted them both to the little girl: One as a keepsake, and the other one to place in her Dad’s casket, making an everlasting con- nection. This was very meaningful for the child, who was Port Perry resident Lynda (Redpath) Doherty is devoted to helping and healing others. As a Reiki therapist, she eases people’s physical and emotional pain. And as the founder of Heavenly Butterflies, she provides a way for those who are grieving to stay connected to their late loved ones in a beautiful, symbolic way.
