Most of the members of the Garden of Peace Board of Directors have lost someone to homicide. But we have dedicated our time for all the homicide victims of Massachusetts - the victims who are sometimes forgotten by all but their families. Our loved ones were killed one-by-one, not in one horrific public disaster. And even though there are tens of thousands of such victims, somehow their solitary deaths makes it easier for them to be forgotten by society. But their families and friends have not forgotten. Like the survivors of the victims of September 11, Oklahoma City and Columbine, at the end of the day we have an empty place in our families and in our hearts that will never be filled. This Garden, and the support that it has gotten from the Governor, the legislature and the public, gives us hope that our loved ones will be remembered. Amy Maki Words from the Groundbreaking Ceremony - June 2002
