I remember watching Betty White on the Pyramid show with Allan Ludden and also the many weekly series that included: “The Golden Girls,” The Mary Tyler Show, and “Hot In Cleveland.” I remember in the course of an Interview following her 99th birthday, she stated, “Being 99 means I can stay up as late as I want.” RIP Betty White. Your will be sorely missed.

  @oodiebom,
  
  This was my MIL favorite actress she also loved the Golden Girls. ✨
  
  Thank You for Being a Friend
  Andrew Gold
  
  Thank you for being a friend
  Traveled down the road and back again
  Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant
  
  I’m not ashamed to say
  I hope it always will stay this way
  My hat is off, won’t you stand up and take a bow?
  
  And if you threw a party
  Invited everyone you knew
  You would see, the biggest gift would be from me
  And the card attached would say
  
  Thank you for being a friend
  Thank you for being a friend
  Thank you for being a friend
  Thank you for being a friend
  
  If it’s a car you lack
  I’d surely buy you a cadillac
  Whatever you need, anytime of the day or night
  
  I’m not ashamed to say
  I hope it always will stay this way
  My hat is off, won’t you stand up and take a bow?
  
  And when we both get older
  With walking canes and hair of gray
  Have no fear, even though it’s hard to hear
  I will stand real close and say
  
  Thank you for being a friend
  (I want to thank you)
  Thank you for being a friend

  Thank you for being a friend
  (I want to thank you)
  Thank you for being a friend
  (I want to thank you)
  Thank you for being a friend
  
  And when we die and float away
  Into the night, the Milky Way
  You’ll hear me call, as we ascend
  I’ll see you there, then once again
  Thank you for being a…

  @sunshine,
  
  I never said that Betty White sang the song all I did were the lyrics and the person who
  wrote the song which was Andrew Gold. I love the theme song to the Golden Girls. 😎
  
  Have a nice day. ✨

You can still watch a lot of those shows she was in on YouTube – including Password & the newer versions of Password when her husband Allen Ludden was the host.
I just checked on buying tickets this morning at Fantom for her 100 birthday blowout on Jan. 17th. I’m pretty sure just about everyone loved her, animals included.
RIP, sweet lady.💜🐶🐱

I always enjoyed Betty White. She was down to earth and cracked me up. Maybe I liked her because we are both Capricorns and our birthdays are a day a part. She was my inspiration and the person I always wanted to be. I think I saw a post of hers just a few days ago. “Here’s looking at you, kid.” RIP
