God bless you Grammy! Thanks for being my grandmother for 50 years! I never knew my paternal grandmother so I suppose this was God's way of evening things out. She will live in my heart and thoughts forever. The last time I saw her, a few months before her passing, I promised to be with her on her 100th birthday. She almost made it, leaving us 77 days before her milestone. I kept my promise and joined my parents and sister Elizabeth (named for her) to sing Happy Birthday to her at Oak Hill Cemetery in San Jose, CA. Thanks, Grammy Betz for being my grandmother. You were, are and always will be the best!

This was a remarkable woman. I just returned from the services and the love for Mildred was flowing throughout the room. She was amazing and so was her family. Anne Montgomery Dominion

This is in memory to a woman, my grandmother, my Grammy, whom I totally loved and adored with all my heart. I will miss her everyday, but cherish the memories I hold of her forever.
