Dear readers,This past Sunday morning my father (on the right) passed away after a long bout with Alzheimer’s. It was a long and difficult journey but our belief in Jesus Christ and His resurrection gives us much assurance. If you have a moment say a prayer for the repose of William's soul.
Funeral arrangements will not be made until later today but we do know the calling hours will not be until Wednesday with Mass on Thursday. More news to follow for those who may be interested (please do not feel obligated) when we know.
As a further consequence, of course, Adam’s Ale will be short on posts for a spell. Thank you for your understanding and prayers.
May God bless you,
Fr. Valencheck
Prayers for you, your family, and your Dad.

ReplyDeleteEre sin could blight or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care;
The opening bud to heaven conveyed,
And bade it blossom there.
We'll count on that, via prayer and via your thumb of blessing on him.
Oh, I'm so sorry (((Fr. V))) He was a wondrous good son, and a marvelous dad, I am sure. Next time you two meet, you will embrace in utter joy.
I'll be praying for all the Valenchecks, too.
