Family and Friends Lay Heath to Rest

Michelle Williams arrived for today's memorial service for her former fiancé, Heath Ledger, arm-in-arm with Heath's sister, Kate.

The service was held at Penrhos College in Perth, Australia. Ledger's father, Kim, said the service would be followed by a private funeral -- he requested privacy and did not reveal the time or location.

"The funeral will be very, very private and there will only be 10 people there, immediate family and nobody else,'' he told reporters. "It's a pretty sad time. We're finding it difficult to cope by ourselves, let alone cope with everybody around the world. Having said that, we do really appreciate the outpouring and the emotional support from all over the globe."

78. did you not read my comment about a half hour ago apologizing for calling him that? No, obviously not. Again, just a mild amusement until you say something with more substance than idiot, bitch, or stupid.

80. I have a feeling Nicholson's joker will be laid to rest when the next movie comes out. Perhaps unfairly, since Heath's was going to be so dark and really Nicholson's is the Classic Joker (the way people imagine the Joker to be). But I think Nicholson will be overshadowed by the memory of Heath Ledger.

88. Jessica and Joanie need to stop. Jessica started it, and Joanie is keeping it going. Grow up, both of you!

89. Rest in Peace Heath! Your family must now deal with the fact that they ignored your problems because you were "Heath Ledger." It is very sad you had to die so young but it is time for some personal responsibility. You did this to yourself. You did this to Matilda. You did this to your Mom and Dad. Hopefully eternity is better for you than Earth was.

90. Michelle's dress is frothy and light. It is hot in Australia right now and she has probably worn black all week. This was a very subdued dress and she looks classic. The other one you are dumping on is Heath's sister. I think I will go with her judgement on how she feels her brother would feel about the way she is dressed rather than a bunch of strangers and their snarky remarks.
