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."

92. Grace,

I'm sorry if my defending myself is annoying to you. I agree that it needs to stop I let myself be dragged into fighting with someone who has nothing intelligent to contribute to this feed. I will not be posting anything more to Joanie. Should Joanie continue we will all be amused at his/her lack of maturity.

93. I see nothing wrong with the way any of them are dressed. Michelle's dress is perfect. It is hot in Australia now and she has probably worn black all week. This is a subdued dress and she looks classy. The other one people are dumping on is Heath's sister. I think I will go with her judgement on how she feels her brother would feel of the way she is dressed vs. a bunch of strangers on a snarky website!

95. Joanie,

In case you hadn't noticed, Jessica just said that she would not continue to post to you because arguing with someone who has nothing intelligent to say is pointless. Like she said we will all now be amused by your feeble attempts to argue with someone who is ignoring your sad and pointless comments. Get a life.

R.I.P Heath. You are in a better place.

96. For those petty comments about her attire, FYI Heath gave that dress to Michelle when their daughter was born. It is handmade and the Aboriginal brocade pattern represents love and family.

97. #1--I am me---I really feel sorry for anyone related to you. You are cold and disturbed. No one will be at your funeral.

98. WHY IS SHE WEARING WHITE, ISN'T SHE SUPPOSE TO WEAR BLACK A REFLECTION OF HER HER FEELING BEING SAD.

Rest In Peace Heath.

100. Oh Jessica, give it a rest, will ya? You are equally as immature. You will not bait me, deary. And Joanie, stop being a putz and argueing with a 20 year old. Show some maturity, fool. I'm outta here. Tmz is full of psycho's!

101. #13--you are wicked all right, but wicked-stupid, not wicked smart. You are judgmental and that's always someone with no life, and who is unhappy. I pity you.

102. They guy rented an apartment for more money per month, than I make in a year and I support a family of four. Yet a tragedy like this still happens. There must be a message in there somewhere. You listening Britney?

103. Grace,

I was not trying to bait you. I was just agreeing with what you were saying. It was immature to argue with someone like Joanie. Sorry if it came off that I was saying anything other than that.

Posted at 1:31PM on Feb 9th 2008 by Jessica

104. Jessica is changing her name again! hee hee, and Grace, you are right, I couldn't be any stupider than to be baited by an idiot. I am gone. Thanks for the laughs, little jessica.

105. I am sorry he is gone---he was a kind young man with immense talent. And I hope he rests in peace, and his family can find peace with this. But I think they could take this loss and perhaps save other lives. Make that his legacy.
