From Celeste Zappala:

We offer a tribute to Charley and Nancy. We met them in the darkest hour, when my son had been deployed and was then killed in Iraq. They gave us all encouragement, support, and stood with us as we stood against the war. My family has been blessed by their spirits, we have learned from their organizing skill, and I do believe that they have lovingly bent the World in a direction of nonviolence. Teachers and friends both, I send love and acknowledge their heroic lives and struggles- I am so proud to call them my friends!
