I will always remember Estelle! I was so shocked to hear of her passing! Like myself, she waited to raise her sons before fulfilling her dream! She definitely lived her dream and has placed herself as one of the greatest comedic actors to date! I guess I will never understand why "the girls"did not show up for her memorial service. When my husband's grandfather died, and was in the advanced stages of dementia,everyone came to pay their respects, family and longtime friends, even though he did not know who we were when he was alive. But I know everyone grieves differently. I send out prayers to her sons and family. Marcell94

Peace and Blessings

The Golden Girls is still one of my favorite shows and Estelle Getty was a big part of the reason. The series was ground-breaking and I don't think anyone could have played the part of Sophia better than Ms. Getty. I have the entire series on DVD and watch it almost daily. Some laughs just never get old.

Rest in peace, Estelle. My prayers go out to her surviving family members and friends.

Estelle was always funny. I will miss her very much. Just remember that when Jesus died and rose again, He defeated death as well as sin and Satan. If Getty had that relationship with Jesus then she is in his arms and she is no longer suffering.

I watched the Golden Girls all the time because they made laugh, even when I needed the laugh. Sophia was my favorite character on the Golden Girls because of all the wise cracks she has done. She will be truly missed by all her fans.

thank you for the laughter

I was only a teenager when the golden girls first aired and i was captivated from the start. Estelle and the girls had an amazing gift in being able to make people laugh. Golden girls was unique as it also dealt with sensitive issues prevelant at the time in both a serious and poignant manner. Estelles performance in the episode where Rose believes she may have aids from a blood transfusion was outstanding as her behaviour relected the fears and stigma people had towards aids at the time. Also the episode where her son dies echoed tha real life fears that many elderly people have fearing they may outlive their children. Estelle was an actress of great talent, and she was the grandma that i wished i could have had. Now through the power of television and dvd Estelle and the rest of the golden girls will live on forever, making new generations laugh. Today, whenever i feel depressed i put on the golden girls and i am soon laughing again. God bless you Estelle and thank you for being a friend to millions and thank you for the laughter you brought into the lives of so many people.

I started watching the golden girls with my mom before she passed away and she & I both enjoyed the show so much. I can remember sharing the laughter with her and I still watch it for the warm humor and laughs it still brings to me. Estelle was so talented and I would like to thank her & her family for sharing her life with us in such a wam & special way. I'll remember her always for her quit wit and one liners.Rest in peace now.Love you always.
