So hard to put in words what a wonderful person Beth was. Just kind, considerate and thoughtful…all while battling the big “C”. Where others would have giving up, Beth kept fighting. Our deepest condolences from the Martin Family…you are all in our prayers for strength to get through this period. It will be hard and you will miss her terribly, but Beth is okay. You’ll hear a whisper, or feel her presence and you’ll know she’s just checking up on you all. It will put such a smile on your faces! Love you all, Stevie
