Here’s our own song in tribute to the late Heath Ledger,
(Act II).
May he rest in peace, condolences to his family and hopefully the song brightens a dark day somewhat.
Nice. He will be missed.
Actor Heath Ledger was found dead in a New York City
apartment on January 22nd. Heath was born April 4th, 1979,
in Perth Australia. He was nominated for an Oscar portraying
cowboy Ennis Del Mar in the 2005 film Brokeback Mountain.
.
The cause of death has not been released.
Hollywood has lost a major rising star, but Heath will
always live on in the hearts of his fans, friends and family.
.
Hollywood lost much more than a great actor, Hollywood
lost a great and humble man, who was never caught up
in the “I am a star” ego trip.
.
Some stars need to belong in the heavens.
But Heath Ledger’s warmth and light will always be upon
us, and he will never be forgotten.
.
Rest In Peace, Heath Ledger.

Heath Ledger will have a place our hearts forever. He is a legend already.
I was so shock when i heard heath’s death im so sad , he will be missed alot i ve always found him great actor he got something special , i dont see it in others actors , my condoleses to his family and to hollywood for lossing such a shiny star who will always shine in our hearts .
To Heath:
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
I thought that Heath would last for ever: I was wrong.
Rest in Peace my boy
(Poem ‘Stop all the Clocks’ by WH Auden (revised) – and I suspect he would approve)

First, know that you were loved in the truest of ways
So deep that only our hearts can give expression
You’ll be forever surrounded by our love
For we’re sending it straight up to Heaven
Please know that you’ll be cherished by each one of us
For your example and kindness we’ll treasure
We understand now how your life was a gift
That was meant to bless us forever
And though we’ll miss you terribly
We want your Spirit to be free
Free to enjoy all the wonders of Heaven
Not bound to us in our grief
So watch over us with happiness from Heaven …”
