The Estep family will be in our thoughts and prayers as you navigate through this difficult process. It's very sad saying goodbye to our loved ones. However, i am certain Ed will be met with our Lord's open arms, and will be safe, well, and happy to meet face to face with our Lord whom he so faithfully served throughout his life. Ed was a wonderful role model for all of us. His faith was such a big part of his life. I can almost hear the words ringing out from above: " Well done, my good and faithful servant" I am sure he will be rewarded with absolute peace and happiness forevermore. May God's blessings be with all of you in a special way during this most difficult time.
Love, and God Bless,
