I wish she could have lived forever. She and Dick Van Dyke are two of my favorites.

Just FU, 2021! FU!
RIP, Betty.

She lived a good life, handled her fame well and was a delight to her fans and audience. She was a great lady, she will be well remembered and remembered well.

R.I.P. to her, condolences to her family, and thanks to a remarkable woman for giving so much to give us hope and laughs for as long as she could.

So long, Betty. You really did good!

(18,634 posts)I was at the Disney Studio commissary in Burbank standing next to the drink machine. She came up to me holding a full tray and asked if I could get a coke for her. I did, put it on her tray, she thanked me and was off.
Rest in Peace Betty.

(6,536 posts)She was sweet, polite, congenial, understanding and not fussy. She was just wonderful and warm.
I feel so sad about this. 2020 and 2021 have been seasons of losses, with many of those I cherish disappearing. Here's another. You can't live forever, but shit, I'm pissed. We lost a national treasure. She will be mightily missed.

(15,423 posts)Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend!

(12,389 posts)to go with that. Maybe something about the herring swim team missing out on the Olympic gold medal by 18 points because one was accidentally eaten by the coach.
Smooth sail, Betty. ❤️

A true icon, and seemingly a genuinely great person. She absolutely defined 'national treasure'.
Raw deal, passing 18 days before your 100th though. That's a bummer.
