152. omg this was such a shock. i cant belive hes dead . he one of the best actors and i loved his work . he was very into his role and loved his job and took it will a passion. he did NOT! commite susicde so shut up and stop saying that. and 2 no he took drugs is very sad but he was not an addict and did not PARTY EVERY DAY LIKE LoHo and brtt. SPears. so rember not how he died but how he LIVED!
153. I have not stopped thinking about this since the news broke of Heath's passing. He was an actor that touched people's hearts...I have been moved and inspired by his performances. I have been a fan since 10 Things, but Brokeback Mountain really sealed the deal. His portrayal was fantastic, though the movie was sad, it made me feel some empathy for what my father has gone through in his life--and for that I am grateful. My thoughts are with his family, Michelle and little Matilda. May you grow up to know what a special person your father was.
154. Tuesday night I had a dream:
....It was his final act and the members were dispersing from the stage. He seemed much younger as he approached and with a big kiss on the lips, I knew by the look in his eyes that he had to go. But wait, I love you, he knew, but it was time to go and had taken his final bow. Peaceful and gracefully it was over.
A day later I would read about a recent Christmas trip home to Australia and how he relished at just being a "boy".
157. I am a 40 yrs old HIV+ gay man that because of failed relationships, infection and depression, has thought of dying soon all the time. Last wednesday I was in line waiting for my HIV meds when I read about Heath Ledger's passing. I felt so sad and suddenly realized that this young, talented man who was brave enough to portray gay men twice and with many good things to come in his life had died from causes that are not even clear yet. I felt it was a real sin to wish to be dead after surviving the virus for 14 yrs when this boy has died so unexpectedly in the blossom of his life. He gave me a hell of a lesson without knowing .

160. im not going to pretend that i knew heath but seeing him in movies and seeing his passion for them, i can tell that he gives it all. when watching the movies, it seems like heath isnt even there becuase he gets so into the character that it's almost like he tranforms into it for the role.thats called natural talent, and it's rare. i know he has a daughter and i pray that she grows up healthy and happy and knows that he was a good man. everybody's time comes in their life and i guess god wanted heath with him to help him out in heaven. the world loves you heath. you are truly one of a kind.
161. So sad that we have lost a talented actor so young.Only the good die young and now you can rest Heath away from the cameras.God bless you,your family and watch over your daughter to keep your little angel safe.xxxxxxx
162. My prayers go out to his family in this terrible time.Heath was such a talented actor and will be greatly missed.He was much to young to go now. I feel for his parents ,he was the same age as my eldest daughter.I can not imagine the pain his family is going though at this time.I grieve with a mothers heart.For if this was my child I know I would b hurting so much. Asking myself if there was more I could have done to help my child.The mom wanting to hold and comfort him one more time.The hurt of knowing he was alone at the time of his passing. May God keep them in his loving arms at this time.Give them comfort and peace.They now all have a special angel in heaven watching over them.God bless the family.
164. Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain:
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain
He will be missed, His roles were unforgetable, He will be not be forgotten
165. I was deeply saddened by the early passing of Heath. When my husband and I saw him in "A Knights Tale" & "Patriots", we knew we would be delighted for many years to come with his movies. Not many actors can keep on track. Thank you for your accomplishments, and your love of life. You will be saddly missed..Another great actor gone too soon.
