Betty, when you left it felt like I lost my best friend. You were a gem. So beautiful and sweet. It's been a while but I still miss you. I've watched The Golden Girls since the beginning and I still find the show just as entertaining and hilarious all these years later but it saddens me to know that you're not here anymore. You are missed more than you could possibly know. I always wanted to meet you but it wasn't possible here on Earth but I hope we can meet in Heaven one day. Tell all The Golden Girls hi for me. I love each and every one of them! Rest in peace Betty.

I just want to say THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT FRIEND TO ALL OF US! We will dearly miss you lots no matter what. Psalms 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

RIP MS. BETTY WHITE!!!!! ❤

Thank you for being my friend and for inspiring me to pursue my lifelong love of animals. This was my K9 Partner Nils who saved my life 53 times in LA. I also adopted 2 wild Mustangs, a Lamb, a Turkey and too many other doggies and kitties to count. I find it so unfair for you to be taken now but I wish you all the happiness you gave to us all. You Ms.B...... Maya, Nils, Punkin, Tom the Turkey, Jaxon, Midnite, Petie, Sidney, Caliente Roja,Levi and Jaxon.....and that´s only the ones I can remember.

Betty White Babygirl you will be missed by so many many people. You have brought so much laughter into so many homes. The Golden Girls was a way of bringing so many families and friends together. There were scenes to make you cry also, but never nothing very bad. Nothing that you couldn`t solve with cheese cake anyway. I thank you so much for the joy you bought to me in the times that I really needed to laugh. Heaven has gained an Angel. I know your wings will fit you well. We love you and thank you for the happiness you brought to all. May the Lord bless and forever keep you in his ever- loving arms.

May the Heavenly angels have been there to guide her to the long and narrow path, which leads to a peaceful eternal rest, and be forever in the company and loving embrace of God, Jesus, and the angels.
Let us remember her for her compassionate heart and kindness shown towards the needs and suffering of the animals; as well as the love, joy, loyalty, and companionship to be appreciated and shared.
May the treasures within her actions and heart always be remembered by family, friends, and fans. May she eternally rest in peace.

There will never be another Betty White!
