A Man Of Peace – Michael Woods
As we come to the end of another year we would like to remember our esteemed member Michael Woods who sadly died on the 8th of September. Michael will be deeply missed by all members of the Peace People and his contribution to Peace will always be remembered.

Thanks for everything. Gerry Grehan Peace People
