Not sure what to say?

I was going through old scrap books and found my children's immunization records. We moved away from Citrus Heights to Redding in 2000. I looked up your name on Google and learned you had passed away. You were our children's first pediatrican. You were the cream of the crop. Kind, compassionate, funny, and caring. You were also a friend. I will never forget you. I enjoyed all the years of knowing you and was very blessed having you as a friend and our children's pediatrician. You are missed...

Dr Peterson, I am so saddened by the news of your passing. I love you, and I loved working for you. Definitely some of my fondest memories. Gina and I still laugh about memories we shared at Roseville Peds. You were the best and I will miss you!

You tought me so much.. and the phrash "who are they" i ues to this day. i know we will meet again.. see you then.. GINA

I only heard the news today, Nov. 5, and wanted to send a short note of condolence. I know I must have known Dr. Peterson earlier in our childhood. I am the oldest granddaughter of John and Helen Peterson, Leonard's oldest daughter, Sandy. I am fairly certain that, as chldren, we spent time together when we would travel to Council Bluffs on vacation. Again I was sorry to hear the news and I pray for the family.

Bob and I were in the same graduating class at Abraham Lincoln H.S. and attended St. John Lutheran Church together. I have fond memories of the Youth group activities. He was one of my best friends and a loyal confidant in those teen years. Our paths went different directions in the years to follow and I cherished the time a few years ago that we got to see each other again at our high school reunion. My prayers for God's comfort go out to his family and friends.

I met Bob because he was a good friend of my husband. That was thirty years ago and he always had something funny to say that would catch me off guard. He let Bill know that his good work was appreciated when he worked on Bob's residence. If there was a problem, he trusted Bill to find a way to solve it. We miss Bob. A good friend and the best customer Bill has ever worked for. Bob helped Bill talk through some of lifes issues and spent time making sure stayed on track. Thank you Bob...

Bob will be forever missed by all of his friends and neighbors. Bob has been a strong force in our community to preserve the original ambiance that we all love. What a great sense of humor and the ability to difuse any situation. Bob, you always had the right words to say.
Your courage and passion for life set an example for many.

I will miss you!

I met Dr. Peterson when I had my first child 35 years ago. Dr. Forester recommended him as a Dr. for my new baby. He was the doctor for all six of my children. He would usually come to visit in "his babies" in the middle of the night, which meant a visit in the middle of the night to mom too. He was so good with my children. The insurance changed and I had to change doctors, but there has never been another like Dr. Peterson. I always felt safe and that he cared and that I was doing things...

Dr Peterson, I will forever miss you. You have brought me so many great memories of working for you. Our talks in your office, playing games on your computer between patients, just being your M.A. The time you called me to visit you in the ICU because you knew how much I needed to visit with you. I have never felt as fulfilled as I did when I worked for you, nor have I been the same without your friendship. I will never forget you and will see you in the future. Thank you for naming...
