Alberta Rodes

It's 6 years since I said goodbye to my precious friend and mentor, Alberta. Ron preceded her not long before! They both were family to us. The worth of our phone visits and more importantly our visits back and forth were more than words can express. Our friendship sustains me even now...years later and I often find the need to talk with them. Looking forward to eternity where there are no more goodbyes!

A precious chapter came to a close this past week with Alberta's leaving this earth. She was the last thread to a 'near' lifelong relationship with her and Ron; one that will be cherished forever. Ron and Alberta came into our lives; Will's and mine nearly 42 years ago when my kids and I attended the church in Palo Alto. They latched on to us in a way that will forever remain! Will came to know Jesus through Ron's friendship. He and Alberta nurtured us through thick and thin for the rest...

Ron and Alberta followed us at the Palo Alto, Ca. church back in the early 70's. We saw the beautiful results of their ministry in Meridian when we attended that church while living in Eagle Id. for a year or so.
