Her role as Whitley's mother on A DIFFERENT WORLD was priceless.

@@pertburton5586 You can say that a hundred times.😄 Patti played her role well as a mad Black woman, and Diahann outdid herself as the self-composed, but angry socialite. The two combatants were a sight to see.

I was 10 years old when Julia premiered. At that time, I didn't understand there were differences because of the color of one's skin, but I knew there was something special happening because of that program. As a Latina watching Julia every week, I aspired to become a professional woman like Julia, which I did. Thank you Dihann Carol, RIP.

[@geoffreyr2356]

Thank you GMA for such a beautiful tribute. By the way Robin and Deborah, I have the lunch box (without the thermos). It was my first lunch box that I had, I was in the first grade! Ms. Carroll and my mother seemed one in the same. Both beautiful, both intelligent, both gracious and full of class. It was refreshing to see her on TV reflecting the type of woman that I had in my own home. She did it all, sang, acted, comedy, drama, Broadway, big screen, TV. Always portraying a strong, intelligent woman who just happened to be African American. A true icon and legend.

[@jaymanix39]

I did not know that she was a talented singer.She was truly a classy lady.My heart went down south when I heard that she passed away.She accomplished so much in her fabulous career.Dihann you are gone,but your legacy will live on.Much respect for what you have open for other actresses.RIP DC.

@@sandra-jones 2 Timothy 4:2&5 New Living Translation 2 Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.5 But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you. 1 Peter 4:15-18 New Living Translation 15 If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs. 16 But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name! 17 For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News? 18 And also,“If the righteous are barely saved, what will happen to godless sinners?” James 4:4 New Living Translation 4 You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God." 1 Corinthians 15:58 New Living Translation 58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. Galatians 4:16 New Living Translation 16 Have I now become your enemy because I am telling you the truth? 1 John 2:15-17 New Living Translation 15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. James 4:4 New Living Translation 4 You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God."

@@JohnSmith-uy7sv these are not your people Big Fella. And he didn't ask you to persecute people that is trying to pay respect to the dead. You are mean and God sees this.

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

@@sandra-jones If God's word is persecuting you, then you have a serious problem. Shake your fist at God and tell him you do not appreciate his word making you feel persecuted. How dare God's word do that to you. I gave you the exact scriptures from the Bible, not my words but God's word and still you argue with God and try and claim it is my words when the scripture and passage numbers are right in front of your eyes. satan blinds, he is your master. Jesus Christ give light, he is my master. There is no equal. God created your master satan, like you and me. He is the creator and we are just the creation. we are nothing.
