Been wondering the same thing...  :-\

I was also wondering that if Jake is still Matilda's godfather, what that means for him. I was thinking not much because it usually comes into play when both parents die, right? What are the other reasons for having a godmother and father?

maggiesmommy GayLee:
its so hard for us to talk about it, can you imagine the depth of feelings going on for Jake? their relationship had to be so multifaceted. they shared things no one else could understand in thier roles in BBM. it must havemade their friendship much deeper, somehow.
i found this post from awhile back that i posted...thought it might help now
Death is nothing at all

I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I
you are you
Whatever we were to each other that we still are

Call me by my old familiar name
speak to me in the easy way you always used to

Put no difference in your tone
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together

Let my name be ever the household word it always was
let it be spoken without effort
without the trace of a shadow on it
Life means all that it ever meant

Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight
I am waiting for you
for an interval
somewhere very near
just round the corner
All is well

the only mention of Jake I saw was on TMZ.com that said security had been increased on the set of "Brothers" where he is shooting to keep the media away from him because he does not want to make a statement.

As far as I know, in the U.S. these days, being a godparent isn't much more than an honorary thing. It's not something that comes to an end, so Jake is still Matilda's godfather, but in practical terms I expect it really doesn't mean much, unless he chooses to involve himself in her life and Michelle and the rest of the family allow him to be a part of her life. A godparent has no legal standing.

But the question reminds me that I have been wondering whether Heath had made a will.  ???
