AIDS Quilt at Rockefeller Visitors to Rockefeller through March 15 will be treated to an exhibit of 6 squares of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. Each square contains memorial panels that were created by family and friends of people who have died of AIDS. Please take a few minutes to stop by and experience the creativity and eloquence of what has been called the largest Folk Art project in the world. The entire Quilt was last displayed in 1996, on the Mall in Washington, DC, stretching from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol building. With more than 44,000 squares, the NAMES Project invites organizations to display one or more squares. The Chapel staff requested squares that included the panels of the these five people who were known and important to us. For more information about the Quilt, go to: www.aidsquilt.org.

Tim Warner, my beloved life partner, was a man full of fun-loving energy. He was the Southeast Michigan Regional Director for Consumer's Power Co., and gave of his time and energy serving the city council, public schools, recycling committee, and beautification commission for Ferndale, Michigan, served as a mentor to students in the Detroit public schools, and served as a volunteer with several AIDS organizations in the Detroit area. Tim was a spouse, son, brother, uncle, and friend, and he exuded warmth and love to everyone he met. He loved gardening, playing the piano, crossword puzzles, and stargazing during camping trips. I designed the panel with the help of two friends, Cheryl and Colleen. Our cat Spike died 1 month later, and Spike is also in the panel.
