I was wondering about one thing, Meryl. Are we allowed to use that pic of Heath (I'm thinking of possible copyright) and is it high resolution enough to be printed?

Maybe if we can't use that pic we can make a new collage of pics taken at Brokie gatherings all over the world of the past two years?

Thanks, buds, for all your words.  :-*

I think you should contribute whatever you want to, from $5 on up.  If there is money left, we can donate it to a good cause in Heath's memory.

Just a though here. What if we take the extra monies and set up a scholarship fund in Heath's name at a Performing Arts school? So when his B-day rolls around we can contribute more into the fund.

On this other fan based site for a Canadian actor ,in lieu of cards and gifts,we have been doing this for several years and the actor, school, and student is very appreciative of the gesture.
Jack Twist.
Ennis
Your folks just stopped at Ennis?
Del Mar
Nice to know ya Ennis Del Mar.

And so with that introduction Jack and Ennis are forever bound together like Adam & Eve and Romeo & Juliet.

Just a reminder to everyone making contributions:  Send them to my account, not the BetterMost account that you see on the right side of the page.

My account is [email protected].

I'm depending on my Perth-based friend to find out the details of the service arrangements, as far as that is possible.  She can call around and find out which florists are sending the flowers to the family.  Also, she works for a newspaper, though not the one we're putting the notice in.  She will know best how to take care of the placement and timing of the notice, I think.

I think we will also need to organize a thank you for your friend...

I have no idea, Melissa.  Anyone have any information or thoughts on this?

Do you remember from which site it came? I have been trying to find the original source on the internet, but couldn't find it!
