I got the following text from my BFF of fifty years, Lorie, this morning. I received this message late last night: “Hello all. Please keep Fr. Bob Rooney in your prayers. I learned a few hours ago that he is non-responsive and won't be alive much longer. Apparently he fell recently and was bruised up. He has required 24/7 care for quite some time now. He lives at Madonna here in Lincoln. He was 85 last November. I did manage to get a quote from him a few weeks ago when I visited. I will share it with you in June. God bless you all and thank you. I will truly miss him.”
This is beautiful, candid, and sweet. A few years back we lost a priestly friend. Reading this made me miss his honesty and devotion. Thank you❤️
I love this story.
