A quilt accompanied by a letter that said:
"My name is Jackie Wake. When the shootings happened in April my heart fell to my gut. This is what I do (make afgans) and the Lord laid in on my heart to do this for VT. Please lay it out and stand back so you can read all the names. We decided to take a trip to bring it down. We hope you can find a use for it.
