Posted at 17:57h, 27 JanuaryI have fond memories of growing up as friends of the Stepp Family. My fondest memory of Ed is his ministry of visiting with my grandmother as she spent her last years in a nursing home made those days a little brighter for her. She loved gospel music and Ed…..such a blessing! My thoughts and prayers are with this family.
