I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father."
On the brief statement released by the mother of two-year-old Matilda Rose though her spokesperson, she also noted that the memory of the "Brokeback Mountain" star will continue to live on through the spirit of their only daughter. The statement continued, "All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up with the best memories of him."
