We would like to thank our friends and everyone around the world for their well wishes and kind thoughts at this time.

He was a down to earth, generous, kind-hearted, life-loving and selfless individual who was extremely inspirational to many. Please now respect our families need to grieve and come to terms with our loss privately. HEATH LEDGER's grieving family members shared heartfelt and candid memories of their departed loved one with an Aussie newspaper, People reports. According to the mag, the death notices section of Friday's West Australian finds Heath's mother SALLY writing: 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. The actor's older sister KATE -- addressing her brother by the nickname "Roast," according to People -- writes: I can hardly breathe when I try to write this. We were the ultimate in soul mates. I feel both my heart and life have been torn apart. I loved our special talks, our daily chats from where ever you were in the world. I especially loved all the precious time we spent together. We were so fortunate to have you as long as we did. You were so many things to so many people, but to me you were just my little brother. There will never, ever be another "Heath" and I think that in itself is the greatest tragedy. I will continue to talk with you everyday and love you just as if you were here. You will never leave my thoughts "Roast," ever. Heath's father KIM adds: My beautiful boy, so loving, so talented, so independent, so caring, so young ... no more chess games, mate ... this is it, couldn't beat you anyway! My body aches for the sound of your voice, our chats, our laughs and our life and times together. Your truly varied artistic skills, insatiable desire to improve, and eclectic abilities set you apart from any other person on the planet ... it had only just started for you ... and for us to further enjoy. We were one, in soul and commitment. Just ... Father and Son. I will love you forever, Dad. And last, the family as a whole reflects upon their loss: How do we describe our sudden and tragic loss? ... You were the most amazing individual, "old soul" in a young man's body. You so loved us, as we dearly loved you. As a close knit and very private family unit we have observed you, so determined, yet quietly traveling in your self-styled path in life, nothing would get in your way ... no mountain too tall, no river too wide. You dreamed your dreams and lived them with passion and intelligent commitment. We have been privileged to accompany you on a ride through life that has simply been amazing, and through it all, we have loved each other beyond imagination. Your true legacy lives on in beautiful little Matilda, who will always remain in the greatest of care. Our hearts are broken.
