      Almost every one would choose to live 3 weeks longer if they could. But for Betty we all needed those 3 weeks. We needed to celebrate her together.

    This sketch alone, demonstrates why Betty White was so adored as a comedy icon. It isn't just the way she says things but her innocent demeanour that belies a michievous sense of humour and her deadpan expressions. She could outshine any comedy heavyweight. Truly a unique lady and talent. Miss you already Betty, although you will always be Rose to me. RIP.xx

      Hearing Betty White's voice brings back memories of me watching Match Game in the early to late 1970s with my mom. And The Mary Tyler Moore show. It's so interesting how to me, by the time The Golden Girls came in TV, I couldn't recall a time without Betty White entertaining us with her gray wit and prefect comedic timing: by the time she played Rose, I thought how cool it was that these four women were given roles in their "old age" (I'm their age now!). Hahaha!
      How fortunate to have these wonderful memories with our moms. Betty White used many innuendos on Match Game, but was never raunchy or dirty. Always funny and with the most beautiful smile on her face.
      Have you seen the Betty White bloopers from Hot In Cleveland? I only saw one episode of that show, but I'll tell you what, Betty White's bloopers reel in one of the funniest (about...) 20 minutes I've ever seen from TV... tied with Tim Conway & Harvey Coreman 's Dentist Sketch from The Carol Burnette Show... oh! And also tied with Gilda Radner and Candice Bergen's Saturday Night sketch from the first (or second?) season, where Gilda is talking about dumb people of the country. I own the tapes. Candace blows her line, and Gilda saves the sketch, but Candice can't stop laughing!!

    This is one comedian that I can never get tired of seeing. Being older than some here, my introduction to Betty White came when she played Sue-Ann Nivens, 'The Happy Homemaker'. My entire family rarely watched television shows together. 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' was one of them, along with 'The Carol Burnett Show', "The Bob Newhart Show" and later 'Rhoda'. When my mother was out of the room my dad would explain Sue-Ann's dirty jokes to me. My dad was bipolar, but went undiagnosed until a few months before he died, so I had a confusing, mostly unhappy childhood. Watching those shows are among my happiest memories of our family together. Betty White will always have a special place in my heart.

    She made me laugh at least 5 times in this little sketch. Testament to her brilliant comedic delivery. I'm going to miss knowing that she's still out there somewhere ready to make us all laugh again and again.
