There is a no more fitting place to remember Alison than in Delaware Park.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46a4aecd39c39ebb858b8e/1548956356744-2C5PM5283GH2O85KIZE1/IMG_3968.JPG Delaware Park Memorial - At the Memorial Dedication of the trees and bench, several friends, family members, and colleagues spoke. https://www.alisondesforges.org/miracle-in-rwanda daily 0.75 2020-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a46a4aecd39c39ebb858b8e/1549462019981-L072PA35NIRY6JTRZD1E/IMG_2020.jpg Miracle In Rwanda - Miracle in Rwanda was written and performed by award-winning actress Leslie Lewis Sword.
