We gathered in love and remembrance at our Fort Worth Inpatient Unit to honor Alford Pelton, a cherished Fort Worth resident, biomedical engineer, and inspiring author whose faith-filled words brought comfort to so many.

We are proud to carry his legacy forward through the dedication of the Alford Pelton Library. Two libraries will now stand in his honor, welcoming donated books that offer peace, comfort, and strength to families navigating life’s most tender moments.

As part of the tribute, we held a butterfly release in our memorial garden—a gentle reminder that while we say goodbye, love continues to surround us in new and meaningful ways.🦋

Mr. Pelton lived a life deeply rooted in faith and was devoted to uplifting others. Through these spaces of reflection and hope, his spirit and legacy will continue to touch hearts. 💜
