How she tried to act like a mother figure to the girls but was more like a bestfriend. Like Nat said in Gamma Gamma she is a role model (can't remember the phrase exactuly).

Mrs. G rules. That's it. lol. I can't even watch an ep she's not in, it just seems like something's missing.
I loved how she became like a mother & best friend to the girls and always had some wise piece of advice for them.

In the word's of Nat," Mrs. Garrett is an adult role model!" I loved how Mrs. G was always there for the girls, whether they wanted her to be or not. Her advice was always needed and always helped the girls.
I also loved Mrs. G's mood swings! One seond the was calm, then yelling, calm then yelling... Those were so funny!

I loved how Mrs. G. was so understanding and trustworthy. The girls could tell her a secret, and she'd keep it. She'd give her opinion of situations but hardly ever condemned the girls for decisions they made. Mrs. G. was a good friend. She was loyal. Even though she was probably supposed to be fair and treat all the girls at Eastland the same because of her job there, you always knew that our girls were her favorites.

I think in one of the eppies one of the girls (Jo maybe?) was talking about becoming president or something. I remember Mrs. G. saying, "And if you're a Democrat, I'll vote for you!" Hooray for Mrs. G.!
