Farewell Bea Arthur… We Will Miss Our Golden Girl

I have nothing much to write except to note that one of the great comedienne actresses passed away.  Bea Arthur with her masculine form of femininity truly showed everyone how it was to be the consummate lady.  She was a trailblazer.  She was Maude and she was Dorothy.  She was always Bea.

Tears are shed because she is no longer  among us.  Thank goodness for reruns.  She will live forever.
