She’s someone that we’re all better off for that she’s lived this long.”

    We couldn’t agree more. With her sharp mind, love for life, and incredible career, Betty White continues to inspire us all. Here’s to hoping we see her back on the small screen soon! Until then, we can’t wait to see what this incredible woman does next.
