Michelle Williams Says Goodbye To Heath Ledger On The Beach

I'm not going to be stank about this one, because it's pretty touching and I'm not a complete monster. A large memorial service was held for Heath Ledger in his hometown of Perth, Australia yesterday. A wake and reception was held at Indiana Tea House on Cottesloe Beach afterwards, which was one of Heath's favorite spots. Many mourners, including Heath's ex-fiance Michelle Williams, went down to the beach at sunset and ran into the water in tribute to him. Wow.

The mourners were around 50 in number, and also included his sister Kate. As everyone walked out the water, the sun was setting and they all linked hands to watch it go down. Jesus, who would have thought I would get choked up by all this hippie stuff? A mourner standing behind Michelle was heard to remark "The sun goes down on our love. But it will never go down on Heathy." Wow.
