Sad news

[Bristow Kid]

I am reposting this here for y'all that might not see it on the NCOWS forum.  Steve you will be greatly missed old friend.

This is Kelley, Kayleen's daughter.  Cry

We want to let you all know that Steve Groninga went to be with the Lord at 3:50pm, December 25, 2008 after his long battle with cancer.  He had the chance to see ALL of his kids and grandkids the past few days which was one of his wishes.  We all had the chance to see him and speak with him the past few days which was a great blessing for us and for him.

Visitation will probably be Sunday, December 28th at Sietsma Funeral Home in Ackley, IA and services will most likely be Monday, December 29th at West Friesland Presbyterian Church, Rural Ackley, IA.   I will try and keep you all updated.

Please keep Steve's family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

If anyone wants to send memorial flowers you can call Anderson Flowers in Ackley.  641-847-3244

Memorials can be directed to the family.
