On behalf of Americans for Peace Now, President & CEO Debra DeLee sent a letter of condolences to Israel's President Shimon Peres, who lost his wife of 65 years, Sonia.

"Sonia was a noble woman, who shunned publicity, but was very active as a volunteer in her community. Rather than directing a home for disabled children, she preferred to volunteer at the institution, to feed the children and wash the floors. Together with President Peres and the people of Israel we mourn the death of Sonia Peres," said APN's Debra DeLee.
