Jerry and Joan Schunke <jerryschunke@yahoo.com> Tucson, AZ - Wednesday, April 7, 2004 1:38 PM CDT Pete, Helen and Family, Another note to remind you that you remain in our thoughts and prayers. Grandpa Matt had more pictures of Jacob today. That little guy is certainly a Peterson. (I even saw a hint of his Grandpa Pete in those pics!) Hoping that all the messages from friends and family bring you a little bit of home and a lot of comfort in the fact that so many people care so much about all of you. Bill and Julie Brandt <bjbrandt@verizon.net> Antigo, WI - Tuesday, April 6, 2004 10:53 PM CDT Dear Petersons, We were in ST.Augustine when we received the news about you, Helen, and many prayers every day ever since have been offered by us for your recovery. With love in friendship, your old friends, Lee and Ludene.

You were two of the most patient neighbors possible dealing with all four of us kids right next door. My hopes n prayers are with yah mark Mark Stoehr <mark.stoehr@valpo.edu> Valparaiso, IN - Tuesday, April 6, 2004 0:39 AM CDT Dear Pete and Helen, We continue to pray for Helen and for a breakthrough in her responsiveness. Glad to read your wonderful social worker's comments, too--and that "miracles happen everyday at Via Christi". Remember the summer of 1988 (back when we lived next door to you) and the miracle we witnessed in our Ruthy? Prayers from so many were what helped keep us going that summer, so it is a priviledge for us to now be praying daily for Helen (and all of you)-- and for a miracle for her!! We love you both--and your whole family. Our prayers will continue each day. You are loved by us and so many others--and most importantly by the Lord who cares about you so very much. He is holding Helen (and you) safely and lovingly in His almighty arms. May the Lord bless and uphold you during this Holy Week. He died on Good Friday, but He is RISEN (and He did this out of His great love for Helen--and you, and each of us, too). Praying the miracle of Easter will be your Hope, Strength, Comfort and Peace. You are so very special to us. LOVE ALWAYS, Sarah & Dan Stoehr and Mark, Rachel, Jonathan & Ruthy Sarah & Dan Stoehr <dtstoehr@newnorth.net> Antigo, WI USA - Monday, April 5, 2004 2:16 PM CDT Sending my wishes for a sound recovery and safe trip home. Hope Mike is not telling the Medical profession there, what to do. Even though he had a course at UWEC in biology, does not make him a professional! Heard of the news from Devo,who probably wants Pete and POPS to be able to play golf soon, so get well soon. Jon Stadler <jstadler@new.rr.com> - Sunday, April 4, 2004 10:02 PM CDT Helen & Pete - As you continue to be in our thoughts & prayers, we wanted to let you know that the snow is now gone & the sun is now shining back home, so we'll be ready & waiting on the first tee whenever you can join us!

Cheryl & John Lawyer Cheryl Lawyer Gurnee, IL USA - Sunday, April 4, 2004 8:49 AM CDT Hi Gram and Gramps- Just wanted to let you both know I'm keeping you in my thoughts. I'm sending out some art for Grams. The guy who made it (Heri Matisse) believed his works had healing powers for stroke victims (he called it benevolent radiation), and always hung his pieces at the patient's bedside. Stay strong. I love you both. Kristin Peterson <KpQuePasa@yahoo.com> De Pere, WI USA - Saturday, April 3, 2004 4:47 PM CST The Petersons, Marian and Eddie let us know about this website when we were in Antigo a few weeks ago. We wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you and that you are in our prayers, most especially in the upcoming Holy Week. Mike and Julie congratulations on the baby! God Bless! Rory, Alice, Alyssa (and baby) Gilbert <rgilbbert24@comcast.net> Cottage Grove, MN USA - Saturday, April 3, 2004 2:04 PM CST Hi Pete and Helen, I sent a note a couple of days ago, but I haven't seen it in the Guestbook Entries, so I will try again. We continue to look forward to each progress report. Your sons are doing a terrific job and we do appreciate them so much. We will be going back to Wisconsin in two weeks. As always, we continue to pray for all of you and wish for you Helen, a complete recovery. Hang in there, Pete. You are so great to spend this time with Helen. Love and wishes for the best!!

From the looks of this website, we are not alone!!! God bless you and keep you in the palm of His hand. Hang in there!!! Gary and Kathie (Kretz) Shadick and family Kathie Shadick <kshadick@new.rr.com> Appleton, WI USA - Thursday, April 1, 2004 4:03 PM CST Greetings from Via Christi St. Francis! I just wanted to say this is an tremendous communication tool for everyone to keep up with Mr. and Mrs. Peterson. I have learned much about them from all of you, like...the black jelly beans and the peanut butter cookies (Steve, be sure to ask him about peanut butter cookies tomorrow!) I also wanted to give you another tool of communication which our medical center offers. It is a service where you can email messages directly to the medical center and they are printed and delivered daily to Mrs. Peterson's room. The web site is "www.via-christi.org". Then you click on "popular pages". Then click on "patient e-mail." That will bring up a form which you can fill out. Helen's room number is "NC14-01". The campus is "St. Francis". Then you write your message to them. It is nice for the patient or family to receive printed messages that way. I love the "caringbridge guestbook" and will share that concept with other social workers for future reference. Mr. Peterson has done a tremendous job of "keeping things together." It has to be difficult to be heading for Arizona one minute, then suddenly be "stuck" in Wichita. I enjoy his "checking in with me" as I don't do well in getting up to Helen's room when he is there. It was neat to meet each of the boys as I have heard so many good things about them and each of their families. Let me know if there is anything I can assist with on this end to make things go better here. I can wash laundry without things turning pink!!! May God bless each of you for all you are doing for them! Miracles happen everyday here at Via Christi...and we expect Helen to be ONE OF THEM! Linda Landoll,LMSW Linda Landoll, LMSW <Linda_Landoll@Via-Christi.org> Wichita,, KS USA - Thursday, April 1, 2004 3:41 PM CST Helen, just wantd to say hi to you. I know you are a survivor so get well quick and come home. I cant wait til I can see you again but I know it wont be long. Much love and a lot of hugs. Mary Diercks. Mary Diercks <mdiercks99@yahoo.com> Antigo, Wi - Thursday, April 1, 2004 11:34 AM CST Pete and family Jeanne Shank told me of Helen's stroke. I will keep her and your family in my thoughts and prayers and will let my church know to add all of you to our prayer line. May each day show improvement. It takes time but I know you are in God's watchful eye Alice King <kingal@charter.net> Stevens Point, WI USA - Thursday, April 1, 2004 7:48 AM CST Dear Pete and Family, We were so sorry to hear about Helen.

A lot of the snobirds will be leaving the next week or so. We will stay until after Easter.

They had just returned from Palms Springs (97 degrees, too hot!) and Los Angeles (66 degrees, too cool!) They were glad to get back to Arizona (just right!) We were all surprised to hear about the Antigo Flood of 2004. Can't believe the footage we saw on TV. We're not glad you're in Kansas but are glad that you're safe and dry! My parents said they'll try to stop by on the way home next week. Best wishes for some good news today.

Sandy & I think and pray for you every day. I check the website daily but because this will take me an hour type (Mrs. Bugni would be so mad, hah Brownie!!) this is my first entry. Big Al give Mrs. Pete a kiss on the cheek from the Greenings and let her know that the "boys" won't wake her up (even though it's you we wake up and you blame it on her) when we come over for "breakfast" this summer after our class reunion. Don't worry we'll clean up after ourselves. Hah! Can't wait to see you both back here in Antigo. All our love & prayers until then.

You all have a bright future together.

We keep thinking Helen will soon wake up and wonder what all the fuss was about! I was telling Julie about the "olden days" when I was a kid. Kim Diercks, Diane Klinetob and I (Cindy) used to cut through Petersons' backyard to see what Steve and the "boys " were doing. Seems like it must have been the "cool" house to hang out at! :') You are all in our daily thoughts! Go Marquette(?)Sorry Bucky!

Take care of that cold, Pete ttfn: Lou Lou Ann Peterson <souperpete@sbcglobal.net> Grafton, WI 53024 - Saturday, March 20, 2004 5:43 PM CST Hello again Petersons! Just checking on Helen's progress and wanting to send more smiles and prayers your way. It sounds like recovery is moving forward slowly but surely. Patience is a virtue, I have heard, and understand how frustrating all this must be. Stay positive and know we are praying for you! Tom & I were in Antigo last night for the best fish fry in the area (Heartbreakers) and met up with mom and Sherri. Tom had to scoot out early to go back to mom's house so he could HEAR what was going on with the Badgers. Seeing it from the table was not enough. What a game! We made it to a few games this year and really have enjoyed watching them! Hopefully a win is in the cards for Sunday. We checked into tickets, but it looks like they will be hard to come by. I hope you hook into a broadcast of the game somehow! Anyhow, just wanted to stay in touch and let you know you are always in our thoughts and prayers!

Love, Tom& Teddy Tom & Teddy Kretz <tjktjk@newnorth.net> Antigo, Wi - Friday, March 19, 2004 9:22 PM CST Darlene has been good enough to keep us up to date regarding Helen and is e-mailing this story for us. So, it's communion at the methodist church. Two stations are set up - one on each side of the alter. Bev and I are seated in the middle section, one couple in. The ushers "escort" one row at a time starting with the front side section. I know it will be some time before they get to our middle section so I go into my "church trance", where I look around and think deep thoughts. Some time later, the couple next to me got up and started walking towards the back of the church. I poked Bev to follow me. I glanced back as I left the pew and she was behind me, but , no one else from the pew! Then I looked at the couple I was following, they weren't called by the ushers, they were leaving the church! I had the deer-in-the-head lights look. We were picked off. We were hung out to dry. All eyes were on us as we twisted in the wind. Finally an usher noticed our dilemma and heard me say "I thought it was our turn." She let us pass. Returning to the pew after receiving communion, with all eyes on us again because we were the only ones coming up the middle aisle, I heard one lady whisper to another lady -"Snowbirds!" Hang in there, Pete. Love to Helen Jim & Bev Findley Jim & Bev <dkoprek@yahoo.com> Sierra Vista, Az - Friday, March 19, 2004 5:37 PM CST Pete & Helen, Just read the latest updates.

Thank the lord for your strong family support. Just happened to think that if when down in Wichita you happen to bump into a clan of Norwegians, it's easy to tell a gay one from a straight one because the straight one likes butter but the gay prefers Ole. (We hope a little humor finds its way every day.)

It sounds like your road to recovery is underway with SO MANY well wishes and prayers... mine included. Perhaps this was a way for the man upstairs to get you to stay home in Antigo, closer to that new grandbaby, instead of enjoying the sun in snowbird land!! Stay positive, listen to those great doctors and nurses, let your boys (and daughter-in-laws) take care of you, and get back home to enjoy little Jacob! I will keep you in my prayers. Love, Terri (Hunter) and Tom Tourtillott :) p.s. It snow a few more inches this weekend... EEEK! Please bring some sun to melt all this white stuff when you come back up north!

I look forward to your daily updates. Pete, you and your family are an inspiration to us all. Obviously, you have a lot of support and I'm sure that Helen will have the best result possible. Since it is Sunday, I wanted to share the following little story, entitled ONE SUNDAY MORNING. One Sunday morning, the minister noticed little Johnny staring up at the large plaque in the foyer of the church that was covered with names, small American flags mounted on either side. The minister walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, "Good morning, Johnny." "Good morning, sir," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque. "Can you tell me what this is?" "Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women that died in the service." Soberly they stood together, staring at the large plaque, Johnny's voice was barely audible, trembling with fear, when he asked, "Which service - the 8:15 or the 10:30?" Hopefully a little humor will help! Steve & Sue Brettingen and family <cpa@antigopro.net> ANTIGO, WI USA - Sunday, March 14, 2004 10:55 AM CST We all hope the improvements keep coming!! Our prayers are with you all. Karen Carley <kcfive@msn.com> Antigo, WI - Sunday, March 14, 2004 10:34 AM CST Helen, Pete and Family - We are so excited with the great news about you, Helen.

You are all in our thoughts! Love Dan (alias Barbara) and Colleen, Brianna, Katie and Meghan. PS: The picture of grandparents and baby is great, it's easy to see where the baby gets his good looks! Rossmanith Family <drossmanith@new.rr.com> Green Bay, WI USA - Sunday, March 7, 2004 12:09 AM CST Helen: First of all best wishes on a speedy recovery. As lector yesterday I read your name in the list of those to pray for. Matt & Dottie were in the pews, Charlotte was in the cry room with a young one who wanted to run (Jason & Michelle's I assume) & I was at the lectern. It made me realize the web of life we are in with one anchor being 726 Graham Avenue. Know that the web now stretches to Kansas and it is there to support you, Pete and your kids and families. You are in our prayers. Matt, Jory, Alex & Abe.
