Thank You For Being a Friend


Estelle Getty
July 25, 1923 – July 22, 2008

I don't know anyone who hasn't watched and fallen in love with The Golden Girls. I remember watching Sophia, Blanche, Dorothy, and Rose on TV and nearly splitting with laughter over their antics. I stumbled upon Estelle's autobiography in my high school library, and I must have rented that book out at least eight times. Estelle was a fantastic actress, and a relentless AIDS activist - the world will truly miss you.


Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend

Sophia / Estelle was the darling - she simply had the best lines and delivered them unbelievably. Also For years during difficult times watching an episode the Golden Girls in the night helped me sleep. And the words of wisdom from Sophia would linger on.

Good night Sophia.

The Golden Girls was the best comedy back in the days of CH33. Sad to know of her passing away. Good-bye Estelle.
