Yep! I had been hoping, and thinking they would do this. I wasn't getting my hopes up. But I was so happy to see it happen! When I woke up I turned my tv on and I had programmed it to start, so it was already on lifetime! I think it is so great that they did that in her honor! I watch it all the time anyway, but it was nice to see today. Also, I had been seeing at the end of the show they've been having her picture and 1923-2008, so I thought that was a nice thing as well! It is sad to see such a person pass on, but at least she's not in pain, and we the living can keep her memory alive by enjoying the work she left behind.

Yep, I heard about the dementia as well. So sad, but she is at peace now, like you said! I watch it everyday as well, if I'm up at 8am I watch it from 8-9am, 3-4pm and then again at 12-1am! LOL Plus, I have season 1 on dvd, and hope to get the rest at some point! Although, I mostly get dvd's for Christmas.. so it might be a while before I have all the seasons.. hehe

That is so sweet of you to let everyone know about the golden girls marathon...they had some very good programs! I bet her friends from the Golden Girls are missing her very much! THanks again.
