Dear Merlyn and Betty Ann Bantz family. I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you all and hope it helps you get through these sad time to know just how much others care.
In the darkest hour the soul is replenished and given strength to the soul to carry on. Recall the wonderful memories she gave to all of you. May she rest in peace. She is never gone she lives in the hearts of each and everyone of you. Be blessed and happy for the time you shared together. May G-d Bless you all and give you strength and peace. Amen
If the testament of a life is the love they leave behind, Betty Anne truly lived...As mother to my friend Deanna, she created and nurtured on of the warmest, most compassionate and thoughtful person i know--may her legacy continue to live on in all her children and the husband she shared her life with..Wishing comfort and peace to all of you...
One of my greatest memories of Betty Anne happened at the last "Pig Roast" Family reunion of October 2010.
After one of the services we gathered at the rear of the tent to chat & I made the statement to Betty to sit down..she very promply told me not to instruct my elders in what to do. All I could do in that situation was stand corrected... with love!!
I asls had the opprotunity to proof read one of her books a few years back. Thank you Betty Anne for a lifetime of fond memories.
I know that you are right where you have always wanted to be... home with our Father!!
Very sorry for your family's loss. I have several memories of her as we were growing up. Her memory will always have a strong place in my heart. She was an amazing woman of many talents. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Bantz. Heaven has another angel. With Deepest Sympathy
Love from all of us in Walpole MA. I remember reading your first book. The King in his Castle. Now you are with him in his castle.

Brother Harold:God Bless you and your family. I remember Betty fondly from her Plano, Il. days when she played guitar beside Jackie Brethauer on the Piano.
A wonderful time in my life.
Now she is accompanying Frankie G Ohara in the heavenly choir. We all will sing with her real soon.
Dear Harold and family,
Betty will be missed by so many, she touched the lives of countless people. She is an inspiration to everyone who knew her. I am honored to be called her friend. You and your family are in our prayers and thoughts. We love you all dearly. Sandy and Jim
Your family will always miss its "heart," I know, but you can take consolation in each other and the love of friends,among whom David and I feel fortunate to count ourselves, during this difficult time.
