To the family of Maxine Stepp, My heart goes out to you in this sad time. From what I have learned about this lady is that she was simply awesome! Each one of you has your own memory of her that you can cherish and at times look back on and laugh, that's what I've learned of her. She has touched so many of you and has left her mark for many generations to follow in what she has taught you through the years. Because she was a child of god she is walking with him now, looking down on everyone of you. So cherish the past, be thankful for today and be positive about the future. God Bless you all…
