"Picture this: the present day, everywhere, people mourning the passing of a funny lady."
"Oh Ma....Don'tcha know I love ya?"
I think maybe she's just gone to buy a nectarine.
(RIP Estelle)
Picture it, Sicily, 1928!
Her memory will live on forever.
Just yesterday my bro asked me if all the Girls were still alive. I gladly gave him an emphatic, "Yes!"
May she rest in peace.
It sounds like she was suffering for a long time.
Thanks for the memories, Estelle!

Dorothy: Ma, you were never part of the St. Valentines Day Massacre.
Sophia: "I said a St. Valentines Day Massacre."
So sad!

I had to look up Lewy Body Dementia. Poor lady.

Hey, is there any mention of this on her website?
Bless her, I'll be watching Golden Girls tonight.
Just TMZ as far as I can tell, Moo.
