There was an outpouring of love on social media praising the life of Betty White on Friday afternoon after it was reported that the actress had passed away at the age of 99.
"The energetic blonde with the honeyed voice and girl-next-door beauty was one of the rare performers to remain as popular into her nineties with new generations of viewers — thanks to reruns of 'Golden Girls' — as she was in her sitcom heyday," tweeted"I’m so sad about this. Betty White has died at age 99, according to @people magazine which had just put her on the front cover of its January issue as a way of celebrating her.
"A spirit of goodness and hope. Betty White was much beloved because of who she was, and how she embraced a life well lived. Her smile. Her sense of humor. Her basic decency. Our world would be better if more followed her example. It is diminished with her passing," wrote former CBS News anchor Dan Rather .
