Betty was the kindest woman my family and I had the great fortune to meet. She will be missed greatly. 

Your Mother was a lady of great courage. I agreed with her suing. Your father deserved better protection. Will your Mom be buried at Arlington? I recall watching your dad's services on TV at  school. Prayers for your family.

Our condolences to the Grissom Family, it was a memorable day when we received the invitation to attend the memorial service for the late Virgil Gus Grissom and getting to talk to Betty over the phone for the first time and let alone meeting her at Port Canaveral Air Force Station RIP Betty

Betty,

It was wonderful to know you. Your grit and determination serve as an inspiration to many. For me, I will treasure the memories of our talks together, your warmth and your kindness. 

God Bless you. Laura and I will miss you.

To Scott and Mark, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I had the honor of knowing Betty Grissom through the Apollo One Memorial Ceremony held at Launch Complex 34 at Cape Canaveral.  Her strength, determination and sheer courage to continue after the tragic 1967 fire which claimed Gus Grissom and his Apollo One crewmates was an inspiration to the nation and to history. My prayers are with her family and particularly sons Scott and Mark at this difficult time. Godspeed to Betty Grissom to rejoin Gus in eternity. Bob Castro, Atlanta, GA

Betty Grissom was my hero.    Her love, devotion and hard work helped to mold Gus Grissom into the great American Hero and Indiana Legend that he became.    My love and prayers are with all of you at this most difficult time.
