Brokeback Mountain: Our Community's Common Bond > Heath Ledger Remembrance Forum
How to contribute to sending flowers/condolences to Australia
MaineWriter:
Meryl et al., I am fine with everything. Like I said, I was green light thinking. What works for the group is fine with me...count me in...L
BBM-Cat:
That's beautiful Meryl, you captured the sentiments perfectly. What do you, or anyone else think of personalizing the tribute with photos from some of our gatherings (and a picture of Heath)?
For example, the following montage was spliced from photos on the forum and sent to Rodney when he was sick:
http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,12738.msg259662.html#msg259662
My thought is that it would personalize the tribute - it would reflect that we are real people who really care and are extremely saddened by Heath's passing. I guess one disadvantage is that not every person in our community would be represented.

I think the wording sounds wonderful, Meryl. Thank you. (I'm in.)
Ellemeno:
What Amanda said about what Meryl said. Wonderful wording and the BBM poster in the background.
But here is my thought, and it seems different from anything else I've read so far: To me there is absolutely no hurry with this. The situation we are mourning is not going to change. And Heath's family is in shock, and probably wouldn't even be able to notice that we did this if someone stuck it in front of their noses right now. Someone dynamic and articulate could tell them all about BetterMost and our love for Heath in four part harmony with dancing bears spelling out the name BetterMost with sparklers, and they wouldn't be able to focus or retain it. Plus we don't even know when they are going to be in Perth. What if they are in L.A. or even Sydney when our tribute is published?
So I don't want to shoot down a beautiful idea, not at all, but I do want us to think through the logistics and goal of this, and have the best chance of getting our point across.
Later on could be a very good time to do this. I actually keep thinking about how his birthday will be on April 4th. Maybe then?

I like this a lot. I wish I was in one of the pics in the montage. But enough BetterMost beloveds ARE in those pics to make it feel very representative of us.
