Heath Ledger's Family Pours Out Grief
By Mike Fleeman
Originally posted Thursday January 24, 2008 09:30 PM EST
Heath Ledger's family members bared their grief in an Australian newspaper, writing of the heart-wrenching loss of the Hollywood actor – who to them was always a brother or a son.
In one of several messages in the death notices section of the West Australian on Friday, his mother Sally wrote:
Our darling boy, special in so many ways to all of us. You knew you were so loved. You lived life with courage and daring and we are so grateful for the wonderful times we shared. We will be there for Matilda.
His older sister Kate, who called her brother by the pet name "Roast," wrote:
I can hardly breathe when I try to write this. We were the ultimate in soul mates. I feel both my heart and life have been torn apart. I loved our special talks, our daily chats from where ever you were in the world.
I especially loved all the precious time we spent together. We were so fortunate to have you as long as we did. You were so many things to so many people, but to me you were just my little brother.
There will never, ever be another "Heath" and I think that in itself is the greatest tragedy.
I will continue to talk with you everyday and love you just as if you were here. You will never leave my thoughts "Roast", ever.
A Message from His Father
His father Kim, who called his son by the nicknames "Heatho" and "Beef," writes:
My beautiful boy, so loving, so talented, so independent, so caring, so young . . . no more chess games mate . . . this is it, couldn't beat you anyway!
My body aches for the sound of your voice, our chats, our laughs and our life and times together.
Your truly varied artistic skills, insatiable desire to improve and eclectic abilities set you apart from any other person on the planet . . . it had only just started for you ... and for us to further enjoy. We were one, in soul and commitment. Just . . . Father and Son. I will love you forever, Dad.
His Entire Family Writes
And a note signed by his entire family read:
How do we describe our sudden and tragic loss? ... You were the most amazing individual "old soul" in a young man's body.
You so loved us, as we dearly loved you. As a close knit and very private family unit we have observed you so determined yet quietly travelling in your self-styled path in life, nothing would get in your way ... no mountain too tall, no river too wide.
You dreamed your dreams and lived them with passion and intelligent commitment. We have been privileged to accompany you on a ride through life that has simply been amazing and through it all, we have loved each other beyond imagination.
Your true legacy lives on in beautiful little Matilda, who will always remain in the greatest of care. Our hearts are broken.

Just posted the following on the book of condolences:
To wherever spirits go,
To whatever pastures lie in the mountains of Heaven,
The stars and the moon guide Heath Ledger.
Eternal joy, Dear Soul...
Your Ennis Del Mar gave courage to so many, freed so many hearts from fear.
