"Thank you and everyone at the Peace Institute for helping us get through a very difficult time in our lives. There is no way possible that we could have handled all of the things you guys did for us, while grieving at the same time. You guys are truly amazing, and we can't thank you enough for everything you have done for us."-- Campbell, Sheppard, & Hopkins Family
