This month, the Children's Bereavement Center of South Texas held an event to welcome the founding members of our Monarch Society. The Monarch Society pays tribute to the monarch butterfly, renowned for its quality of courageous endurance that has long-represented the Center's focus and perseverance on behalf of the children and families it serves. At this event, we honored Marian Sokol for her leadership and advocacy of the Monarch Society. Thank you to everyone in attendance for your support and dedication to grieving children across South Texas.
