    Please accept my sincere sympathy on the home-going of your parents. I have been searching for the obituary of your beloved dad, Dr. Ronald Peterson, with no success even though his picture was in the Omaha World Herald. My husband, Dr. Michael Grush, worked with Dr. Peterson for the first 3 years he was in practice after medical school and internship and 2 years in the Army, from 1971 to 1974. He had a wonderful experience working with Dr. Peterson, but 3 years later he decided to go into Pediatrics. After that he did not get to have much contact with him. I just want you to know that Mike passed away in 2015 and I would have gone to Dr. Peterson’s memorial service to give you our most sincere sympathy in the loss of your wonderful dad, taking Dr. Grush into his practice and teaching him many things. I pray that they are having a great time together in Heaven with Jesus, their Savior. With sincere sympathy, Mrs. Michael Grush (Sharon)
