I have just found this thread and would like to say, as an Australian, that I am very moved, indeed, by this beautiful gesture from my BetterMost friends.
I agree with the wording of Meryl's tribute/obituary, verbatim, and would personally prefer that the second pic accompanied it - the one with Ennis in the background.
For the benefit on my non-Oz friends, The West Australian newspaper is a quality, respectable newspaper. It is not a sensationalist tabloid newspaper.
Just one question - On what date will our piece be appearing? I think I read something about it appearing next Tuesday? Would that be wise? Shouldn't it appear on the day of Heath's funeral? Heath's family and loved ones will all be sure to be in Perth on that day, and they will all see it. I appreciate that someone will be designated to collect such items from the newspapers for the family, but it would be nice for it to be posted on the day of the funeral, so that all Heath's friends (Jake, for example) will see it when they are there.
Another couple of questions - How big will our notice be? Whereabouts in the paper will it appear (front / back)? Will it be in colour or B&W? All of these things crank up the price.
I will be sending through my PayPal contribution shortly.
