RIP. Hey, I was the one person that thought 'stop or my mom will shoot' was funny.

"Thank You for Being a Friend" by Andrew Gold

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
Your heart is true; you're a pal and a confidant.

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you ever knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend.

[Janitor From Mars]

This sucks.

I also thought "Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot" was funny.

I'm not ashamed to say that I find TGG hilarious. Wasn't she the youngest of the four?

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

Which one was she? I know the Golden Girls by sight, but didn't really watch the show much.

She played Bea Arthur's mom.

AH, okay, I know who she is now. Always a shame to see a funny person go.

aww that stinks. she was such a cute little lady. RIP!

[rrm15]

She was the funniest of the bunch. Sad news. RIP.

[Rocky Van Heineken]

Well, I can die now. I have nothing else to live for.

[Deleted]

That sucks. I loved that show, it was so dirty, plus she was great in alot of other roles.

[The Genesis of KoOS]

Nooooooo

She was the grandma I never had.

[Mattification]

84 is a good age I think. If I live to 84 I`ll have done well. RIP.

As an avid fan of The Golden Girls, this doesn't necessarily come as a shock, but it is still rather heartbreaking. May you rest in peace, Estelle.

This sucks, but at least her pain is over. I heard she was suffering from Dementia and Betty White was her best friend. She would go over and see her and Estelle wouldn't remember who she was

R.I.P

I was thinking of a way to appropriately do that joke. Well played sir!

[Tiiulicious]

This is so sad. I'm a huge Golden Girls fan and loved Estelle as Sophia. She brought countless hours of laugher and joy into my life and may she now rest in peace.

Gone but never forgotten. I guess heaven needed a funny lady.

Blanche was the filthiest one but I think Rose was more subtle.

I didn't care for Dorothy.

Sophia was the funniest.
