Golden Girl Estelle Getty Dies At 84

Estelle Getty has been affectionately known as the kooky mother of Dorothy on the sitcom hit, Golden Girls. I remember being in high school on Sunday afternoons after church I would curl up on my couch in the den and watch re-runs of Golden Girls on the Lifetime channel all day long. I was a young rambunctious teen, but I could still appreciate the humor and the issues that were raised in the show. Getty passed away yesterday morning at 5:35 am. She had been sick for quite some time, and had been fighting dementia for years. My heart and prayers go out to Estelle's family. May she rest in eternal peace.
