SUMMARY:Angel of Hope Vigil
DESCRIPTION:A tragic story became the catalyst for an effort to raise awareness about child abuse and domestic violence\,  culminating in the creation of a memorial to the young victims of these crimes\, and to all children who have been taken from us far too early\, for whatever reason. \nEach year since its dedication in Forest Lawn in 2018\, the Angel of Hope memorial has been the focal point of an annual vigil to honor the memories of these children and reaffirm our community’s commitment to ending child abuse in all its forms.  All are welcomed and encouraged to attend this year’s vigil. \nThe Story of Laura Cummings and Western New York’s Angel of Hope \nIn January\, 2010 a developmentally disabled young woman from North Collins named Laura Cummings was murdered following years of brutal emotional\, psychological\, physical and sexual abuse at the hands of her mother and oldest brother. She was 23 years old at the time of her death\, though she had the mental capability of a seven or eight-year-old child. \nThe story of her tortured life shocked the community and led to the establishment of the Loving Laura Project\, a community-supported fundraising initiative intended to honor the life of Laura Cummings\, and shine a brighter light on the scourge of child abuse. \nLed by Churches In Action – a cross denominational “coalition” of WNY churches\, committed to making a difference for people in WNY and beyond\, one of the project’s goals was to establish an “Angel of Hope” memorial in a high-profile public space to stand as a symbol of hope for all those who have lost a child\, as well as a symbol against violence and for justice for the most defenseless in our society\, our innocent children. This goal was achieved in 2018 with the dedication of the Angel of Hope memorial in Forest Lawn. \nThe Angel of Hope statue was introduced to the world in the book The Christmas Box\, a worldwide bestseller and hit television movie by author Richard Paul Evans. In the book\, a woman mourns the loss of her child at the base of an angel monument. Though the story is mostly fiction\, the angel monument once existed\, but is believed to have been destroyed. Evans commissioned a new bronze angel statue\, in response to reports that grieving parents were seeking out the angel as a place to grieve and heal. The monument was dedicated in Salt Lake City\, Utah on December 6\, 1994… corresponding with the date of the child’s death in The Christmas Box. \nIn addition to the angel in the Salt Lake City cemetery\, there are Christmas Box angel statues\, each often named ‘Angel of Hope\,’ in dozens of cities across America\, but also in Canada and Japan. The memorial in Forest Lawn is the 146th Angel of Hope in existence worldwide. And at many of these memorials\, a candlelight vigil is held during the month of December.  This year’s vigil is being held on Thursday\, March 6th at 5:00 pm\, (Laura Cummings birthday) in the Forest Lawn Chapel.

Brandon’s current role also involves managing a small staff of gallery docents\, collaboration between sister museums and historical institutions across the State of New York\, serving as a peer leader on the DEAI (diversity\, equity\, accessibility\, and inclusion) committee\, and the creation and expansion of a free\, publicly-accessible historic pattern database\, reverse-engineered from historic extant originals. Outside of Genesee Country Village & Museum\, Brandon serves a board member for Rochester’s Rainbow Union (formally Out Alliance)\, as well as for the1816 Farmington Quaker Meetinghouse Museum.
