Leroy Forness

Please accept my sympathy. Leroy was always a very friendly gentleman. I was able to enjoy him for many years along with my husband, Pat, through Althoff Bingo. May Leroy rest in peace.

Dear All, It is with great sadness that I read of the passing of your dad, my Uncle Lee this week. Your dad was kind, generous, and had a great sense of humor. He was especially comforting to us when our parents, Art and Francis, passed many years ago. May your many wonderful fond memories sustain you during this difficult time. Sincerely, Diane Diekemper

Dave, So sorry for the loss of your father. Prayers go out to you and your family.

With sadness I learned of dear Leroy's death, and offer my condolences to his family, and promise of prayers for the repose of his soul. Leroy and his beloved wife, Mary Jane, were devoted Adorers of Our Lord Jesus Christ, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, from the beginning of the opening of our Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel at St. Teresa Catholic Church, in June, 1999. Leroy and Mary Jane, who both were blessed with creative artistic talents, generously shared those gifts by serving as the Adoration Chapel's "Floral Decor" team, making sure that Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, in Exposition on the Altar, was honored with beautiful floral arrangements around the Altar. Leroy shared with me, some weeks following his beloved wife's death, that shortly before Mary Jane died, she told him, "don't forget about our Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament!", and asked him to carry on with their ministry at the Adoration Chapel. And so Leroy did, faithfully and cheerfully, serving at the Perpetual Adoration Chapel as our "Floral Design guy". Leroy, over many years, donated countless hours of his time, financial resources, and much energy, in this volunteer role, until age and declining health prevented him from being able to continue. Thank you, Leroy, our dear brother in Christ, for all your help in keeping the Perpetual Adoration Chapel a place of beauty for Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament! You kept your promise to your dear wife, Mary Jane, and to the Lord Jesus. You faithfully adored His hidden, but True Presence, in the Holy Eucharist. You received His Body and Blood in Holy Communion. And now, may you see Him, our Lord Jesus Christ, face-to-face, and, along with Mary Jane, live in His Eternal Rest and Perpetual Light!

So sorry about your dad’s passing, Dave..and your father-in-law, Diana!! Difficult time for you and your girls!! Prayers and virtual hugs to you all!!
