LEDGER FAMILY'S MOVING NEWSPAPER TRIBUTES TO TRAGIC STAR
HEATH LEDGER's family have paid tribute to the tragic actor in moving messages printed in a local Australian newspaper.
MICHELLE WILLIAMS and HEATH LEDGER
The Brokeback Mountain star, 28, was found dead in his New York apartment on Tuesday afternoon (22Jan08).
And various relatives have expressed their grief in postings in the death notices section of the West Australian on Friday (25Jan08).
His mother writes: "Our darling boy, special in so many ways to all of us. You knew you were so loved. You lived life with courage and daring and we are so grateful for the wonderful times we shared. We will be there for Matilda (his two-year-old daughter)."
His father Kim reminisces about their close bond, adding, "...No more chess games mate ...this is it, couldn't beat you anyway!
"We were one, in soul and commitment. Just... Father and Son..."
And his older sister Kate, who called Ledger by his nickname Roast, notes how she "can hardly breathe" just writing about her loss, but vows to "continue to talk with you everyday and love you just as if you were here".
Members of Ledger's family are expected to arrive in New York on Friday (25Jan08) to join the actor's ex-fiancee Michelle Williams and their daughter Matilda for a funeral service.
