Story here. We've known she's been ill, so this isn't unexpected.

Rest in peace Estelle. You are in a better place. We will always love you.........

We will miss you. You brought many laughs. My favorite word I took from the show: Slutpuppy.

Yeah....she's had Alzheimers/Dementia for awhile now so its good she's been released from that hell. From what I heard from Rue McClanahan (and this was a few years ago) she didn't even remember doing the Golden Girls. Very sad but at least I've still got my Lifetime repeats of Sofia Patrillo. R.I.P. Estelle

Thank you for being a friend...........

One of my favorite T.V. characters from one of my favorite T.V. shows ever...

Estelle:

Thank you for being part of a show that gave me so much laughter!

Secondarily- thank you for also being part of a show that helped me get my first sense of "How you doin" gaydar with guys that I wasn't sure about. --- "You like Golden Girls?" Check.
