She was my favorite, too.

Alzheimer's is a cause of dementia. There are certainly others, but Alzheimer's seems to be the most widely known.

As I understand it, (basically) dementia makes you confused and Alzheimer's makes you forget stuff. My grandma has both.

I think I will have a slice tonight in her honor. I became addicted to GG in college. It came on right after Young & The Restless but before Jerry Springer (hey, I went to college in the 90's so this was my routine after class).

I'm sure Lifetime will be running a marathon this weekend.

RIP and God bless Estelle.
