Memories of Estelle Getty

My Little Sicilian

Angel (Jul 28, 2008)

Watching The Golden Girls would always make me feel safe and happy, I can't explain it, it always gave me a sense of security, which I loved. As soon as the theme music would start and I saw the opening credits, it always put a smile on my face, and still does.

I remember the show was on when I was a little girl, and I didn't really understand the humor, but even back then I was drawn to that "Little Sicilian". When I first heard Sophia drop those classic one liners, I knew I would be forever hooked.

Now I have the entire Golden Girls series on DVD and can truly appreciate Estelle Getty's comedic brilliance,

Estelle may be gone, but everytime I want to laugh and remember the woman she was, PICTURE IT, I just load up the DVD player and let the good times roll.

Ma, I luv ya...........

RIP xoxo


P.S I chose the picture of the Crown, because you are and always will be the "QUEEN OF COMEDY" to me.

Thank You for Being a Friend

I have watched the Golden Girls for over 20 years--ever since I was a child. I think I know every episode by heart and never get tired of them. Estelle was without a doubt the perfect choice to play the character of Sophia. I knew this day would come and although it is very sad to see an icon pass at least her family and friends know she is in a better place now. My favorite episode was when Blanche was giving out men advice to Rose and Sophia and she turned Sophia into a "65 year old drag queen" Thank you to all the Golden Girls for making me laugh all these years!!!

Thank you

Condolences to the family of Estelle Getty.
She made us laugh. She made us think. She made us remember-("Picture it. 1922. . .").

She reminded us we are getting older. Now she reminds us that we only live one life. It is soon over, but by the Grace of God we live again in eternity. We mourn not for Estelle, but for ourselves. We have been left behind. Estelle now knows God's face because the Bible tells us that "to be absent from the body is to be present with God." Wow!

Again, we will miss her.

i have been watching scene it first aired in the 80s and still watch it today.
no one could play Sophia like Estelle Getty as she was one of a kind, irreplaceable.
i now watch reruns on life for ever and even when i feel down in the blues, i like to watch the golden girls with Estelle Getty because Sophia always made me laugh.
now the lord took her home and she suffers no more as she is in gods loving hands resting in everlasting peace. thank Estelle for so many good years of laughter on playing Sophia on the golden girls. my deepest condolences goes out to her family and to Betty white, Bea arthur, and rue mcclanahan her cast mates. i hope life time dos a golden girl memorial speical with the three still living in Estelle's memory.
GOD bless you estelle rest in peace.

Estelle Getty was a breath of sunshine. She lit up the TV screen with her humor. The world was a better place because of her gift and she will be deeply missed. She was dynamite in a small package but a giant. May she rest in peace.
