oh today is a super sad day - earlier today i heard of the passing of estelle getty and my heart just sank :( she died this morning three days before 85th birthday - i knew she had been sick over the last few years suffering from lewy body dementia (not good times) at least she's in a better place and no longer in any kind of pain or anguish but ms. getty is so missed already - there's been an outpouring of poststoday on the web - everyone loves the golden girls on which she played oh so sassy & feisty sophia petrillo her most famous & beloved role yet she did have a number of great bits in other movies (mannequin, mask, tootsie, and stop! or my mom will shoot) she's the first golden gal to pass onto the other side - i can't bear losing any of the other ladies anytime soon - especially bea arthur (not to discount betty white or rue mcclanahan but maude is my girl) we love & miss you estelle getty and i'd like to say for everyone - thank you for being a friend - xxoo
To all of Estelle's Fans,
Sadly, today July 22, 2008 at 5:35 a.m. Pacific Time, we said our last good-byes to our little friend Estelle, who passed away and made her journey to the great beyond. Although it was a trip that she never wanted to take, she went gracefully, in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by her family and her very loving care-givers.
Estelle's legacy will live on and on through the comedy and laughter she gave to us all, which will forever keep us laughing out loud.
For us here, who have known and cared for her for so many years, we've lost our dear little friend who always kept us entertained by filling our days with joyful laughter. Estelle's fans across the globe have lost the feisty little lady known as Sophia Petrillo, whose quick wit, cutting remarks, and outrageous punch lines will forever be quoted and remembered.
Estelle was a fighter. She always stood up for the underdogs, fought for equality for all, and always pictured a world filled with "Love and Laughter" -- her most favorite catch phrase.
Estelle, we love you and will miss you dearly. We pray that you are met at the Pearly Gate with open arms and a warm welcome by all who have passed before you. If there's a stage over there, I know you'll be on it. If there's a thrift shop, I know you'll be shopping, and if there's a deli, I know you'll be eating there holding court with Rhoda and Sylvia ... and the laughter will be heard throughout the heavens.
Goodbye, dear friend. Thank you for all the talent and love that you've shared with us during your time here on Earth. You have touched my life, and the lives of so many others who will never forget you.
