Posted: 04/07/2018 - by Charlie Narmi
The St. Albert family is saddened by the loss of Joe Adams who passed away on Friday in Pennsylvania. Joe was a southwest Iowa resident (fireman) for much of his life and was a member of Queen of Apostles. Joe was a proud St. Albert Grandpa and Dad with 5 children graduating from St. Albert. You won't find many more passionate folks about St. Albert through the years than the Adams and Doner families... Please say a special prayer today for the repose of Joe's soul and please keep the entire extended Adams familiy in your prayers this week...
Eternal rest grant unto Joe o' Lord: And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May Joe rest in peace. Amen
May Joe's soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed through the mercy of God our Father rest in peace. Amen
