• 47. My heart ache for the sudden lose of such a wonderful person and a great actor. I was your greatest fan and crush because your movies make me cry, laugh, want more and sometimes wonder about my life. I am going to miss you so much! No more seeing you on...even though i didn't know you personally, every time i saw a film of you it felt like I've met you. You had so much in the future to enjoy. I'm always watching out for your next movie...funny because i didn't think you was going away so early. Its going to be hard not seeing Prince Charming no more. Don't know much about the after life, but people i love are there so, go in peace with my love. I hope your family and little Matilda find peace. Wish you find peace in heaven. xoxo, Willietta

• 48. I was so saddened by heath ledger's death. I have seen every movie he has ever done and I thought he was so unique and had so much potential. I myself have battled with insomnia and anxiety so I definitely know the frustration and helplessness that can be so consuming when you want to sleep but you can't. I just wish things could have turned around for him before this tragedy took place. My heart goes out to him and his family.

• 49. What a beautiful soul - he left so many of us grieving. I don't believe for a minute that he took his own life. Just a senseless accident. Chronic insomnia weakens your whole system. I feel so bad for what he went through. He would have never left - he loved his daughter too much and wanted to get back with Michelle. My heart goes out to his wife and daughter. God bless his family and give them the strength to go on. Rest in Peace Heath!

• 54. My thoughts and prayers go out too the Ledger family. Heath If I had known you I would have had you over for coffee and maybe having friends not involved in Hollywood or fame would have helped you maintain some normalcy in your life. You will be missed young man. Sandy in Conneticut

• 55. Dearest Heath.You really were the iconic star of our generation.I remember when I first saw you years ago in 10 things I hate about you...From that point on I knew you were meant for great things.I can not believe how sad and effected I am by your passing.As so many others are who have never met you.I feel the loss that you have put on everyone and it saddens me everytime I think of you.My deepest sympathies for your family and close friends who truly got to know the incredible man I am sure that you were.You always seemed like a very down to earth person, a person that was more human than just someone famous.I hope you somehow knew the pieces of happiness and admiration that you gave to people just by being alive.So sad that your life was ACCIDENTLY cut short, I hope you are truly at piece now....We all love and miss you Heath, lucky for us your spirit and soul will live out in your daughter and your films.Thank you for being the Man you were.R.I.P Heath.

• 56. Heath, my heart is broken. Like mentioned previously, you were an icon of my generation and my heart breaks every time I think about what we have loss. You had such composure and I know you really loved your craft. I know your daughter will miss you, but as you recently mentioned.. at least part of you will get to live through her. I have never been so affected by the death of someone I did not personally know.. I am as upset as if you were someone I came into contact with everyday. I have never seen other people my age, guys and girls alike, be so deeply sad over the death of a star (and I use the word star with the definition of what it used to mean because you were an actor with class and dedication, not a modern day celebrity). I hope you rest peacefully in your beautiful home of Australia and I look forward to continue to watch your amazing talent on the big screen. Miss you xoxoxo.

• 58. While I have not seen Brokeback Mtn., I must say that I could not have expressed my feelings any better than Eva's beautiful words. I will miss Heath very much. I have always adored him and I am very sad. However I am so heartened by all the love, compassion and sharing that is going on all over the Internet regarding his untimely passing. I hope Heath is able to see somehow how many people cared about him. *** Eva said... "I will never forget the imprint your characterization of Ennis del Mar left on me. I was deeply touched by it and was looking forward to see you in future roles. I am so very sorry that it will not happen. May you have a peaceful journey crossing to the other side and may you rest in peace. You will always be remembered here. My thoughts are with your family, Eva"

• 59. For days my heart has ached for you. I just got out of the hospital for an overdose on Xanex and alcohol [accidental - my intention was not to hurt myself], and then they showed the combination of the drugs in your home and you have put the fear of life in me. I do not know your problems, if it was an accident -- it does not matter. The fact of the matter is, however, that you have left a very frightened girl and the fear of life in her over your death. You have had a very profound effect on me and I too am crying over what a wonderful man Ms. Williams and her daughter, and the Ledger family, will miss out on their lives to come. My deepest sympathies. Hopefully, through your loss we will not lose others over such stupid !#?@$ Tina
