Note Regarding Dr. Alverado From My Family

This is a message that will deliver HOPE to Dr. Alverado's family and friends!!

First of all, all of us that have received the gift of knowing Dr. Alverado, know of his incredibly beautiful soul. His ability to calm us, as parents, with his "gentle strength", medical knowledge and wisdom as a doctor. His soft spoken manner that seems to relieve our concerns and sometimes our doubts, is indeed a priceless gift.

God placed him in his position in life, to bless each of us as he cares for our children. And, as we all will agree, there could be no one better at caring for our children than Dr. Alverado.

About 15 years ago, my husband and I received a call that set us into complete fear for our baby girl. We called Dr. Alverado extremely upset. He literally went to the hospital and pulled the file to look at it himself. He discovered that in fact, the information that we had been given was not accurate and was misread. He calmed our concerns and went above and beyond what would have been expected of a doctor.

Our children, myself and their father, have been in constant prayer since learning of the situation that Dr. Alverado is in. The following will bring much HOPE and perhaps a small bit of peace as you read this. Several years ago, my mother was in a medical state that left her completely brain dead. We were using machines to keep her alive. The doctors said to me that it was time for us to make "the decision" to remove her from the machines and let her go. I believed that God had not had enough time to decide what was to happen. After more than thirty (30) days, she began to show slight progress. Even so, we were still told that it was time to make "the decision".

A few days later my mother moved her lips and she began to come back to us from a state that was said to be completely impossible to return from. She is still with us today, living an independant life here locally.

HOPE, PRAYER and FAITH are the key to all darkness in life. So for all of you that love Dr. Alverado, our note here today, was to give HOPE to all of you. Our prayers will continue and our thoughts will be with the family as they go thru what has to be the most difficult time in their lives. With great fondness and admiration,
