Goodbye, Golden Girl

Goodnight, my dear Ms Betty White
Our angel of laughter and light
On golden wings, she's taken flight
To make the stars a bit more bright

I liked her and her role on the Golden Girls. She had played so many roles over the years and seemed to meld into each role as if it was meant for her. I enjoyed reading your eulogy about her in poetic form. Your visit to my page was uplifting. Sara

I adored her and followed her for so many years throughout her career. She will be dearly missed. Your tribute to her is perfect Michelle.” On golden wings, she's taken flight” indeed, she was angelic in many eyes, healing with her ability to brighten spirits through her humor. A wonderful example you have written Michelle. Blessings xxoo

This is beautiful. What a lovely theme to think of in honour of ones who have sadly passed away over this past year.

I'm so glad you wrote a goodbye to Betty White. She brought so much laughter, warmed our hearts. But, like RBG, she couldn't live forever. She gave it a good try!

Thank you for these lovely lines, Michelle. I felt pain to my spirit when I heard she had passed. Jim knew I would when he told me. Betty was beautiful inside and out. I even rely on the face cream she recommended! Yes, brighter stars, thank you for this, fellow admirer.

The world is a little less golden now but we can keep her memory in our hearts, she did much to make the world better, thank you for your lovely comment~

Nice tribute... I think, if I remember correctly, I first saw her appear on the old TV quiz show, 'Password.' She was Allen Ludden (the MC)'s wife. Or maybe I'm confusing her with someone else. At any rate, she was quite the 'golden girl.'

I've seen some clips of her on game shows, she was always a hoot! Truly golden in every way~

Reminds me of one of Lindsay Laurie's poems, "Who wants to live to be 100? Everyone who is 99!" Your tribute was well earned! Hau'oli makahiki hou! Aloha!
