Our national treasure, Betty White, has passed just before her 100th birthday.
A great loss to us all.
We shall miss her dearly.

Betty White : I is very hard to absorb you are not here anymore..
I can’t find the words!
To call her an icon doesn’t even scratch the surface!
Man did I think you would live forever.
You blew a huge hole in this world that will inspire generations.
i didnt want to bother her.
But after a few minutes she tapped me on the shoulder and with that radiant smile said Hello!
People dont do that in BH.
I just love her
Saddened to hear that@BettyMWhitehas passed.
I loved her comedic wit and endearing charm.
She definitely was a sweetheart to the world and a gift to the entertainment world.
God bless Betty White.
I grew up watching and being delighted by her.
She was playful and daring and smart.
We all knew this day would come but it doesnt take away the feeling of loss.
A national treasure, indeed.
Fly with the Angels.
And sometimes it can be a lifesaver.
