    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

    Aunt Beth,

    I’m going to miss you so much! You showed our family your gentleness that can NEVER be replaced by anyone. No matter the situation, you offered advice that helped and never hindered. You kept it real and did so with grace and elegance. They will never be another like you. I love you and will always hold you close to my heart!

    My condolence to everyone in her family. I knew Beth when she was very young and had talked to her after her mother passed and she was very kind and thoughtful.
