Thank you for being a friend.....

As I did my morning ritual of waking up while reading news articles online I came across something that struck home...Growing up my mom and I would watch Golden Girls and laugh at how much my own great grandmother reminded us of Sophia. Although my great grandmother passed away years ago her memory lived on for me through the reruns of Golden Girls and watching Sophia. It was almost as if I was watching my great grandmother every time I turned on Golden Girls and the theme song for Golden Girls always pops into my head every time I think of her. It saddened me today to read that after 84 years on this earth Estelle Getty (Sophia) was called home today. She would have been 85 yrs old in just 3 days. Altho I didn't know her personally she will hold a special place in my heart for the great roles she brought to my tv screen and the fond memories of my great grandmother that only "Sophia" could have helped to live on. R.I.P Estelle Getty thanks for all the great times even if they were only through my tv screen.
