Michelle Williams’ Family: Heath Was a Beautiful Flame

Michelle Williams‘ father Larry told Australia’s The Daily Telegraph that Heath Ledger’s death has left his family broken hearted.

Mr. Williams said, “I think [poet] Tennyson got it right in the poem when he described someone as having died at a young age but burning the candles at both ends, and oh what a beautiful flame he made, that was Heath, what a beautiful flame he made and a great talent.

“My heart goes out to everyone in his family and my family. The saddest thing is his 2-year-old daughter [Matilda] whom he just loved dearly.”

He walked with grace on this earth, too soon gone. He was a beautiful, talented, sensitive soul who will be grievously missed by his many fans. My condolences to his loved ones.

I don’t know why this has hit me so hard, but I’ve never been so upset over the passing of a stranger. He will be truly missed.

My heart goes out to Michelle, Matilda, his friends and family, and all the fans. No one saw this coming.

this is just so sad…

Beautifully said, oh so true! This just breaks my heart over and over again :(

the poem he refers to was published in 1922 and written by Edna St. Vincent Millay…”My candle burns at both ends, It will not last the night. But ah my foes, and oh my friends, It makes a lovely light!”

He was a beautiful talent which I enjoyed watching, with immense pleasure and pride, being from the same place as him. I cannot read these without shedding a tear, even for one I would never know.

Why is it that talent dies so young and others, well, you know!!

I feel for his family, Michelle and his beautiful Matilda, who will always live with her father through his films, but will never, ever know him. So very sad.

Australia mourns again…..

Rest in Peace
Heathcliff Andrew Ledger (April 4, 1979 – January 22, 2008)

His daughter looks so much like him. She’s so beautiful. My prayers are with his family.

I am really shocked by this tragic news. Heath Ledger had an enormous talent and his death at the age of 28 is heartbreaking. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. May he Rest in Peace.
