A very sad day for everyone as Ms. Arthur was a treasure...a brilliant comedic actress, and once again that awful, devastating disease strikes again.....thoughts and prayers with all those who loved her.

Oh how sad. She was a fabulous actress - I used to watch The Golden Girs at my nan's every Friday night. Thank you for naming our mysterious bird in my scrap page - we didn't have a clue what it was!
