Memories of Estelle Getty

We love you dearly.

Joshua Musick (Jul 23, 2008)

An amazing woman. I think that everyone will always look back at her life and know how wonderful life and television CAN be. I have hours of Golden Girls on my TIVO and the greatest parts always include a witty comment or that insane "mad lady" laugh that Estelle portrayed so well.

Estelle, you remind me to appreciate life and to never take anything too seriously. We love you dearly and will miss you with every inch of our hearts. We hope to see ya soon up there - We are right behind ya pussycat!

Dearest Sophia

You are one with such a quick wit as well as a tender heart. Although I'm only 25 I started watching the Golden Girls reruns about 8 years ago and I immediately fell in love with your humor as well as your charm which required me to be home at a certain time not too miss G squared. You will be missed dearly. Always in my heart!

My Memory Thank You For All The Laughs

My heart goes out to the Getty Family on your loss. I watch the Golden Girls daily. Thank You Estelle for all the hours of pleasant memories and laughter. I know the last few years have not been good for you. Rest in Peace knowing your life has made a difference in so many lives. Thank You Lifetime for no cancelling the show. I know the story lines by heart and yet I still bust out laughing. I do not have a favorite as the entire cast is brilliant. There are few shows I can say this about.

Truly a legend

"Picture it, Sicily 1922, a young peasant girl.................................". I'll never forget the way that Sophia would begin her stories. Her legacy will live on forever, I'll miss you Sophia.

A great warm and funny actress

The way I start my day and end my day

Ginger Cannon (Jul 23, 2008)

I stopped watching the news in the evening or in the morning before I go to work, so I bought the series DVD's and record every episode per day on lifetime. 12:00am, 12:30am, 8am, 8:30am 12pm 12:30pm 3pm, 3:30pm. I watch them daily and probably know every line of every episode. She makes me laugh and I take that attitude to work with me daily and go to bed laughing every evening. I thank you Sophia for the times you picked me up when life would try to get me down. You will always be Golden to me and I will miss you dearly. "Picture this" - We know your at peace and in Heaven. I Love YOu

I loved Estelle Getty in "Stop or my mom will shoot" also in "The Golden Girls". She was a great Actress and will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Estelle was a joy to watch on "The Golden Girls", She made us all laugh, all around the world, God and the Angels will laugh and give a hoot, And say to everyone
"Stop or my mom will shoot". May you rest in peace Estelle And Try Not To Shoot Everyone in Heaven Before We All Get There !!!

The Best!

Denise Hargrow (Jul 23, 2008)

My condolences to the family of Estelle Getty. I have been a huge fan of the Golden Girls since it aired in 1984. I can't go a day without watching my favorite girls. When I watch the show, I hope that if I ever reach the "golden years", that I have friends that are caring and supportive as these four women have been in television and in the real world. My heart goes out to Bea, Betty and Rue because when you lose a part of a family member, a part of you goes with that person. May God bless and I know that heaven will be having a good laugh with Estelle!

My Memory

Nick in New York (Jul 23, 2008)

Golden Girls has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My friends and I love to watch and pretend we are the characters. Who knew that gay men would want to be golden girls? Although I always want to be Blanche, Sofia was integral to that show . I love how she would always call Dorothy ugly, Rose stupid, and Blanche a slut. She has warmed my heart and made my sides ache from laughing more times than I can count. RIP Estelle.

Rest in Peace

She reminded me of my own grandmother. Both full of life and hilarious, kind souls who cared about everyone around them. My grandma loved watching her on the Golden Girls, knowing full well that she was comparable in character. When my dear grandma passed away, I watched the show in a whole new light. I saw my own grandma more and more in Sophia. I feel like I've lost a grandma all over again. My deepest condolences to her family... but I have a feeling they'll be ok knowing they have such an amazing angel in heaven looking over them.

RIP Estelle... you were something else.
