Memory of cool music she would bring in from her days off & the many beautiful dresses that she wore & loaned to many for the group photos & church. She was quite the humorous person. I can't beleive that she is gone so young, but yet I know that she went to heaven. Love, Moody
Is there any way that a family member can contact me through an e-mail? I am so shocked!##imported-begin##Donna Mooneyhan / Indy TC##imported-end##

On the surface Alberta seemed like a very ordinary person, someone you might simply glance at in passing on the street. Seeing her only in that manner was far from the truth. Alberta had a Christian faith that ran very deep and over-flowed into generosity toward others. She gave when you didn't think she could. Alberta had a great love for life and learning. Knowing her was like opening Christmas presents. You didn't know what you had until you removed the wrapping.

I remember Alberta's face as always glowing with the love of Christ. She would often bring us a Christian video from Vic's extensive collection, a unique gift from garage sales, and a toy for our dog, Presto.

Alberta - You were one of my dearest friends. Can't believe you are gone. We had so many good times together. We were like kindred hearts. I love you & will miss you so much. Will think of you each & every day.##imported-begin##Kathy Sommerfeldt##imported-end##
I'll miss you, Alberta.
It was always nice to see you at the store and chat with you!

I remember Alberta's smiling face when she worked at Shore Haven NH where my aunt Bertie lived for her last few years, and I also knew her from Spring Lake Wesleyan. She was always so sweet and helpful at Shore Haven, to residents and visitors alike! She will be missed, and I'm sure has a special place in Heaven.##imported-begin##Cheryl Sutliff##imported-end##
