He must have been an exceptional human being. I was so hoping there'd be a different outcome, but seeing the car it didn't seem likely. I don't understand why a beloved man such as this would have to be taken so soon. I am sorry for all who are in pain tonight over this terrible loss.

I am so sad to hear of the passing of Dr. Alvarado. He was a highly repected man and will be missed by all. We will miss his smile and good morning as he passed us in the Outpatient Department in the early moring to visit he patients in the hopsital.

Dr. A you made your make on our community. Look at all of the families you have touched. Over the past few days more and more people grew to know you by each story that was told. You were needed in a higher place. Now you can look after each one of us. I will continue to pray for your family as I have done since Wednesday afternoon. Thank you for making this a better place to live in by comforting so many parents in their time of need and for caring for all of those children. You will never be forgotten.

RIP Dr. A.

I'm a former patient of Dr. Alvarado- and all I can think is if the community can be this saddened and upset by the loss of this great man... and we can all in our hearts feel the pain of his loss.. how much harder it's got to be for his family and even more for his children.

I can only hope that in honor of the loss of such a truly great man... we practice some of what he preached. Even if it's just for a day... practice the patience and good heartedness that Dr. Alvarado lived by... cherish your loved ones..

God Bless, God Speed.

When my friends passed away this song was played and when i heared the sad news of Dr. A thought of him and. You will be missed.

Don't cry for me when I'm gone
Keep the faith and be strong
'Cause through it all I've been blessed
I faced my fears
And I've passed the test
So when you look up in the sky
On a sunny day
Imagine me drifting away
I'll be sailing on the ships of heaven
When the tide rolls out for the
Last time
You'll find me sailing on the ships of heaven
Waiting for the day
I come sailing back to you
Remember all the times we had
Some were great and some were sad
But you know that in the end
Our love was stronger then when we began
No unforgiven sins and no regrets
Just the times of our lives that we'll
Never Forget
I'll be sailing on the ships of heaven
When the tide rolls out for the
Last time
You'll find me sailing on the ships of heaven
Waiting for the day
I come sailing back to you
I'll be sailing on the ships of heaven
When the tide rolls out for the
Last time
You'll find me sailing on the ships of heaven
Waiting for the day
I come sailing back to you
When the tide rolls out for the
Last time
You'll find me sailing on the ships of heaven
Waiting for the day
I come sailing back to you
On the ships of heaven
I come sailing back to you...

My thoughts and prayers are with the Alvarado family and his staff. He was a good person and a excellent physician and will be truly missed in this community. God Bless You.

He was the best doctor around, they just don't make them like that anymore. I am so glad that God allowed our paths to cross, 18 years ago when chelsea was born. He was so good to our family so many times and always had a smile on his face. He loved the children as if they were all his. We were blessed to have him in our community and we will miss him greatly. My heart goes out to his family and his office staff. Thank u Dr. Alavardo, see you in heaven.

I did not know Dr. Alvarado, but I am saddened by his passing. I know how deeply a family can become attached to a pediatrician as he/she takes care of their most precious loved ones. My heart goes out to his family and all the families affected by the loss of this obviously great man.
