Ryan Reynolds Pens Poignant Tribute To Betty White—And Perfectly Sums Up How We All Feel

The world looks different now. She was great at defying expectation. She managed to grow very old and somehow, not old enough. We\u2019ll miss you, Betty. Now you know the secret.pic.twitter.com/uevwerjobS

I\u2019m absolutely sick of the media exploiting past relationships just to drive clicks.https://twitter.com/people/status/1476192316247400452\u00a0\u2026

The most perfect eulogy

He\u2019s referencing what her mother always told her from the time she was young. Betty\u2019s mother told her not to fear death, think of it as a secret we all finally get in on sooner or later. So when someone passes they\u2019re not gone, they just finally got let in on the secret!

Imagine how her journey will be. The amount of talent & enormous respect for people she worked with, is unmatched. There's quite a party going on in heaven. She made it there just in time to celebrate the New Year. I bet fireworks look great from heaven.https://youtu.be/Bywv_yjSgHc

I say she\u2019s 100. She had 24 Leap Years, that\u2019s an extra 24 days getting her past 1/17. This is the exception all of mankind needs right now

The world certainly does look different. \n\nI'm in my 70s, and have been watching and enjoying #BettyWhite since I was a kid. Her career stretched an amazing 80 yrs! She was an amazing talent.\n\nLoved her! \n\nThis was hilarious, btw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiDsqYt8c5I\u00a0\u2026

This is a hard one. \n\nMy Mom told me once that young people want their elders to live forever, but their elders are missing people that are no longer here. I hope she is reunited with all she loved that left before her. May she find peace, love and most of all laughs.

Some people might not understand when you mourn the loss of a celebrity but the truth is that they can be a part of your life and matter even though you've never met them. Betty White was one of those people that brought us joy with her sense of humor and made the world brighter.

I\u2019m literally crying over someone I never met & never knew personally\u2026\n\nNot because she\u2019s gone, but because I\u2019ve never had more cause to hope we DO reunite w/our loved ones when we shuffle off this mortal coil. I\u2019m imagining her w/Allen right now, happy, both young & healthy\u2026
