Thank you for posting, raywil.

Absolutely devastating.

You never imagine people like her as someone who is capable of passing away.

I'm in shock! With Estelle we had our time to kinda be prepaired. But Bea ist just.... I didn't even know she had cancer. Life can sometimes really suck.

Anyways, Dorothy was my fav Golden Girl and Bea did such an amazing job. Nobody had a better timing for comedy and nobody made me laugh just based on their facial expressions. My heart goes out to all of her family!

An online friend of mine who loves the GG just sent me the news. I can't believe. I'm in total shock and can't believe. RIP Bea! Your in a good place now!

The rest of your life is a long time and rather you know it or not it's being shaped right now. You can choose to blame circumstances, fate, bad luck or bad choices.
Or you can fight back!
The choices you make and the person you decided to be is up to you. The rest of your life is a long time and the rest of your life starts right.

Oh my God, I thought I had read it wrong :cry:

I cant believe it.

Compassion is the foundation of everything positive, everything good. If you carry the power of compassion to the marketplace and the dinner table, you can make your life really count.
