We dedicate these pages to the memory of all those who have died of AIDS complication. To those who are still living with AIDS and fighting the battle, and to those who have enough heart and gumption to stay by their side to love and care for them. May the blessings of God be with you and them always.

The opening song of the play "QUILT a musical celebration" makes a statement to that sets the stage for the reason the AIDS Memorial Quilt has become a testament to the out come of the AIDS epidemic. No, the Quit does not replace the natural grieving that must take place when you lose someone to this battle. It does not make it any easier to understand why your loved one had to died. The Quilt is a living memory of the person no longer with us, if but a brief glance in that person's life. The Quilt is an introduction to the person in whose memory you constructed the Quilt. Who on earth knew that when the children of the sixties professed "Make love not war" that we would wind up killing more people with love and sex then all our wars combined.

What we are about to present to you are just some of the Quilt panels built in the memory of some people in the Middle Georgia area that have died of AIDS complications. It is a tribute to there fight and the lives they shared with many of us. To the memories that time can not erase, to the joys and tribulations of the journey we call life.
