Man, first Estelle Getty several months ago and now this. The cast of The Golden Girls is dwindling! Makes me really sad...

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

She was elderly and had lived her life.

I'm saying that she lived so long is one positive aspect about her life.

it's a thought that's forgotten in most older folk's funerals.

realize that a lot of people don't even get to live past their childhoods. be thankful she lived well past her's.

I know.  I actually found the remark kind of funny in reference to my response.  I thought about how that's pretty much the gist of most funeral services anyway, but it struck me as humorous if someone actually got up to speak a eulogy and literally said, "She was elderly and had lived her life," and then sat back down.  Cracks me up.

I like that. I think I'll put in my will that that is to be my eulogy, "He lived a good long life, he lived it well, now he's gone and it was about f^#&in' time!"

My goal will be to have as many people laughing at my funeral as possible. Pay myself back for all those other people's funerals I laughed at.

 

 

R.I.P. Bea.

1922, imagine what a different world this woman was born into from the one she left. From a technological standpoint, just look where we were a mere fifteen years ago incomparison to today.

The cast of the SWHS too! (Harvey Korman died last year). :-(
