In Memory of…

by Laura

Well, on a very sad note, I was extremely shocked and sorry to hear that Heath Ledger passed away yesterday. I’ve been following his career since 10 Things I Hate About You and it’s so sad that he died so young.

Chris Daughtry posted these words about it and I thought that was very kind of him:

Although I do not know Heath Ledger personally, my heart is broken for his family tonight as I hear the news of his death. Maybe it’s because he was my age. It’s always hard when someone dies but it’s even harder when they go so early. So unexpected. So much life left to live. So many things left to do on this Earth….but the main thing that hit me so hard was thinking of his lil girl without her daddy.
My heart hurts for her and the rest of his family. My sincere prayers go out to them as they deal with this life altering time. They’ve suffered a great loss and could use some words of encouragement to offset all the media. Feel free to leave your thoughts and prayers here. Who knows they just might see it and it just might lift their spirit and help them through this tough time.
Good night and God bless-Chris

RIP Heath Ledger

And while we’re on the topic, I was also very sad to hear about the death of Brad Renfro. Although the circumstances were very different, it’s just so sad to see people who I was always a fan of die so young.

RIP Brad Renfro
