To Dad From Mike - 12/13/06 - 3:00AM

Dad-
It is the night before your potential second surgery. I could not sleep so I went to the hospital just to be with you. You slept and I watched. You slept and I held you. You slept and I feared. You slept and I questioned. You slept and I cried. You slept and I prayed. You slept and I strengthened. You slept and I slept. You slept and I woke. You slept and I admired. You slept and I reminisced. You slept and I smiled. You slept and I stood. You slept and I kissed you. You loved and I loved. It was perfect. I pray that you felt it. Sleep well and God Speed. I love you.

I am a friend of a friend of Pat's daughter. I live in Pittsburgh, PA. I do not know Pat but you can be sure I am bringing him before the Throne of Grace. May the Lord continue to give all of you His peace in your time of great need.

Mike, I saw your Dad on Saturday. He is one tough son of a gun, ready to do battle. Bless you son for being there with Dad and the wonderful thoughts that come from your closeness. He would be (he is) proud of his number one son, take care of Mom and number two PJ and Amy and all....

Love You from Mike Ciohon, Mitch, Collin and Debi.

We pray for Pat we ask the glorious and our most generous beloved St. Anthony to carry our petition for your Dad's full and fast recovery to the throne of our Creator, GOD our Almighty Father, In the name of Our Father, and of his Son Jesus and of the Holy Spirit..AMEN

Mike, Becky, Cole, Miss Paige, Jean, Amy and PJ,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you for the notes about Pat. There are many angels up above watching over him and helping him. Everyday when we drive by your house we think about you all and hope that you will be back here soon with Pat and Jean and the children outside playing. Please call with anything that you need.

Hi Mike, it's Jodi Broege... A little bit of encouragement I thought you would like to hear. My dad fell down a flight of stairs 4 years ago, he broke his back and neck. His spinal cord was badly injured & was told he would probably never walk again. We had him transported to Froedert's spinal cord injury center, he was walking within weeks!!.. keep on praying nothing is impossibile... My heart goes out to your family as not too long ago our family was in the same shoes your's is now. As I read the progress your Dad is making and the awesome support of friends and family many memories come back to me. We will keep your family in our hearts & in our prayers.

Hello Bohrman family,
I am a friend of Jason Hall. I am here with him five out of seven days a week and everyday I am wondering about Pat and the family. Jason gives me updates every day. When I first herd the news it was a sunday morning and I was about to go to church, I reassured Jason that every thing happens for a reason and things would fall into place. I said a prayer that day for you pat and your family,and have been Praying every day since, I juat want you all to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. God Bless
