A Weird Thought Before Betty's Death - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Before Betty's death in 2021, did anybody else find it weird that the other three stars have died in order as a pattern?

First Estelle Getty in 2008, then Bea Arthur in 2009 and finally Rue McClanahan in 2010.

Again, may god have mercy on their souls now and forevermore in spirit for all eternity, but this seems kind of creepy if you think about it really hard.

I remember that happening. When Rue McClanahan died to increase the pattern, I thought Betty White would complete the cycle in 2011. But she would still have a full decade left to live.

I don't know about you icecream, but something tells me that Ms. White came from a family of longevity before her death.

Again, may god have mercy to Ms. Getty, Ms. Arthur, Ms. McClanahan and of course Ms. White. You maybe gone from the planet earth, but will never be forgotten in our minds and hearts.
