It was far too soon as far as I'm concerned, she will be missed by many for a long time. I will miss her little comments, always perfectly placed, I know its the writers who put the words in her mouth but she was the one who could deliver those lines ever so wonderfully.

It's hard to believe she was 91; she always looked great and you could tell that just like her character, she was sharp as a tack and nobody's fool.

I hope they show that TV documentary again. I'm sure there will be lots of postings about Betty, all saying what an exceptional person she was.
