I just read on tmz that someone placed a bouquet of flowers next to the concrete footprint of Matilda near where Heath lived. That poor, poor baby. :\'(

I know we're all keeping her in our prayers, as well as Heath.

Rest in peace, dear one. You will live on in your daughter, and in your tremendous body of work with which you left us. You will be in our hearts forever.

I just noticed this is my 2000th post. I wish it could have been at a happier time.

This poem was read by the rabbi who officiated at my mom's funeral it gave me some comfort I hope it might offer all of us some at well

Do Not Stand by my Grave and Weep by Mary Elizabeth Frye
An early version, printed by others on postcards:

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

This is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing

Sleep in heavenly peace Heath
there is no sorrow, no pain, no suffering
there is eternal beauty and calm
You are forever young.

thoughts and prayers are with your family and loved ones

I saw that too. That is just so utterly heartbreaking. I'm still so numb, feeling sick, wanting to cry. wish I was at home, not work. :\'( :\'( :\'(

Oh Christie I cried at work and I think I've cried like I were those 4000 members of this forum; I've cried a whole sea, trust me.

God Bless everyone

today is the day to tell those you love, how much you really do
and to give that extra hug, kiss, kind words to your loved ones

Last night I went to sleep, almost distant from the world around me. I kept switching channels on the news, back and fourth. I stumbled upon the interview from Charlie Rose. I was shocked to see his face, smiling, talking about it, and his voice...oh, how I wanted to cry but nothing could come out. I put my hands together and prayed that night for him to be safe up in heaven and that his family anf friends will all be ok.

When I awoke this morning, my head was spinning with thoughts saying again and again "Heath Ledger is gone", "No, it is only a dream"...but when I turned on the news, there he was, a man so beautiful, a man who took risk, gone in an instant. I am still numb, still wishing this was only a horrible nightmare...

Gosh, I was just thinking the same thing.

Plodding on at work all day, but couldn't think of anything but Heath. Kept sneaking to the forum to see how mu BB Buddies were rallying. I'll go home in 45 minutes, it can't come quick enough.

Love to all as usual. I will check in again later.

Hello everyone...

I have not visited ennisjack.com in a very very long time. But this is the place to be today to mourn. I have always been more of a Jake fan (in posting here, at least). But there's never been any doubt that Heath was an amazing actor with incredible talent. Every film I saw him in, he just owned it. He chose roles that challenged him and used his best skills, and he made every role believable and memorable. Hollywood has lost a great talent. My heart is breaking for Michelle and Matilda; for Jake; for all his family and friends and fans. Whatever is determined to be the cause of death, I pray that he was at peace. Such a sad shocking end for someone who could have been one of Hollywood's greatest.

Cara, I am glad you find this the place to be.

You are not alone here.

I am more of a Jake girl myself, but it doens't matter. Heath was extraordinairy.

Cindi. This is definitely the place to be.

JT, LD, I think it will be a long time waking from this nightmare If only it were a dream. :\'(

Tom, I hope to see you later.

I'm a Jake girl too, as you all know, but you're right, it doesn't matter, I'm a Brokie first and I wouldn't be if it were not for Heath, as well as Jake.

Thank you for your words,Cindi;that's how we feel today.But as I said in Spanish channels,he will live forever in our hearts and minds and in his movies.That's the best legacy he has given to us and the best way to remember him.

Now you going to laugh at me,what we really need today...I'm so awkward and my head is so dumb,that while I was washing the dishes,I cut with a knife.Later on,I put a coffee pot on the fire and,when I catched it to put it in the cup,it spilled over the same hand¡.OMG¡ I haven't burn my hand,but my finger has bleed a little.It seems like a Peter Sellers film¡I´m a little stupid;let's see if I make the house blow...

Dear Brokies, my hugs are not enough but your words give comfort. Thank you for stopping by and expressing your thoughts. Together we will be strong.

I am going to Broome Street in a few hours and pay respect to Heath with flowers, a button and a card from the forum

On the card, I wrote

"Dear Heath, anything interesting up in the heaven? We miss you."

I know you all will be with me. :\'(

We remeber you always. Our Ennis, happy Ennis.

OMG-=-Last night I went out on my 3rd floor apartment balcony and closed my eyes. I then replayed this scene from BBM in my mind and smiled to myself.
I then opened my eyes, looked up to heaven, and sent up thanks that heath was a part of my life--and will always be.

I just saw a Yahoo update about Michelle and Matilda, who flew in from Sweden this morning, as well as other things;

Some lovely tributes on the BBC website

It is tragic that we have lost one of our nation's finest actors in the prime of his life. Heath Ledger's diverse and challenging roles will be remembered as some of the great performances by an Australian actor.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd

I adored him. I don't know how to compare his talent to others but he's touched me deeply as a talent and it's a great loss - losing him at any age would be a loss but it was pretty rough news. I was really shocked by it.
John Travolta

I had such great hope for him. He was just taking off and to lose his life at such a young age is a tragic loss. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
Mel Gibson

What a terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to Heath's family.
Nicole Kidman

I am shocked and very saddened by the news. I deeply respected Heath's work and always admired his continuing development as an artist. My thoughts are with his family and close friends.
Cate Blanchett

I think Tennyson got it right in the poem when he described someone as having died at a young age but burning the candles at both ends, and oh what a beautiful flame he made, that was Heath, what a beautiful flame he made and a great talent.

My heart goes out to everyone in his family and my family. The saddest thing is his daughter whom he just loved
dearly.
Larry Williams - ex-partner Michelle Williams' father

The studio is stunned and devastated by this tragic news. The entertainment community has lost an enormous talent. Heath was a brilliant actor and an exceptional person. Our hearts go out to his family and friends.
Warner Bros president Alan Horn and studio president Jeff Robinov

He made a decision about four years ago to stop being led by producers and managers and to forge his own way. He started working with the most interesting directors. He was so successful at breaking out of the teen idol image.
Neil Armfield, who directed Ledger in his last Australian film, Candy

I worked on the same film and I never met him - we were never on the same set. This is as much news to me as anybody and it affects me in the same way.
Morgan Freeman, co-star in Dark Knight

I went through a similar thing with River Phoenix in the fact that he was so young. It's a real tragedy when someone so talented dies because you don't know on the early part of their career what more they could offer us.
Director Rob Reiner
