When I saw this thread, I thought of one of Sophia's other favorite sayings:

"May he rest in peace until I get there!"

RIP, Estelle.

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.

Just to clear it up, Alzheimer's is a form of dementia.

RIP to my favorite Golden Girl.

I am so sad! I LOVED GG...and Sophia was my favorite. Gonna rent it this weekend and watch...

"May your marinara never stick to your pasta!"

Estelle Getty did not have Alzheimers, but another form of dementia that was misdiagnosed as Parkinsons as well as Alzheimers. Apparently someone else of moderate fame died of it this week as well.

I love the show and I loved her. She will be missed.

In her honor, here are some of my favorite Sophia quotes:

Sophia: "Excuse me Rose, but I haven't had sex in fifteen years and its starting to get on my nerves."

Dorothy: "Hi, ma. Where are you going?"
Sophia: "To the boardwalk. I like to watch the old guys rearrange themselves when they come out of the water."

Blanche: "I treat my body like a temple."
Sophia: "Yeah, open to everyone, day or night."

Sophia: "I hate communism."
Dorothy: "Of course you hate communism, Ma it's because you were raised a fascist."

Sophia: "You're Blanche's daughter, the model?"
Rebecca: "That's right."
Sophia: "What did she model - car covers?"

Rose: "I just found out I'm the most boring on Earth."
Sophia: "Did something happen to Regis Philbin?"

Blanche: "Oh girls... I'm just in ecstasy. My body is tingling all over. You will never guess what just happened."
Sophia: "We know what happened. Let us just guess what part of the Middle East he's from."

Blanche: "I have writer's block. It's the worst feeling in the world."
Sophia: "Try ten days without a bowel movement sometime."

Sophia: "I hate Jell-O. If God wanted peaches suspended in midair, he would have filled them with helium."

Love the Golden Girls and Sophia was great. Wasn't she the youngest of the 4 too?

Rue McClanannan (sp) is the youngest. She's in her early-mid 70s. Estelle was actually younger than Bea Arthur and Betty White.

Lifetime is doing a tribute to her with GG episodes Friday from Noon to 5 p.m. You can go on their website and vote on five episodes. The winning one will be the final episode shown during the marathon.

Why can't they do the marathon when working people without DVRs/TiVo are home to watch it?
