ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We would like to thank everyone who made this project possible by providing quilt panels, creating quilt blocks, designing presentations, giving their stories and pictures, co-operating with the NAMES Project and most of all by showing their respect and love for the deceased. Together, with the Quilt and the AIDSmemorial, we have created one of the most impressive testaments to compassion, a lasting monument to our loved ones that will ensure they will not be forgotten.
