Dear Jackson Family: Please take note on how to handle a public figure’s funeral.

“Charlie’s Angels” star Farrah Fawcett was laid to rest yesterday in Los Angeles. The star was only 62 when she lost her battle with cancer.

Among those in attendance at her funeral were actors Ernie Hudson and Gary Shandling, along with her “Charlie’s Angels” co-stars Jaclyn Smith , Kate Jackson, and Cheyl Ladd. Her long-time love and former husband, Ryan O’Neal delivered the 23rd Pslam while the LA Department of Corrections allowed the couple’s son, Redmond, out of jail long enough to attend his mother’s service. Redmond O’Neal is currently serving time for a drug offense.

Via US Weekly:

“Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world,” Ryan O’Neal told Us after Fawcett’s death.

Farrah passed last Thursday hours before Michael Jackson’s death was announced. The Jackson family is currently planning a public memorial service for Michael. This service is set for Tuesday.

Farrah Fawcett in Intensive Care-Last Rites Given – UPDATED

It appears that Charlie’s hottest angel, Farrah Fawcett has taken a turn for the worst. Fawcett has made her battle with cancer public, especially in the last few weeks. And now, it appears the star’s days are few.

Via Extra:

“Extra has learned that Fawcett is now in the intensive care unit at the hospital, joined by longtime love Ryan O’Neal. Mela Murphy, Fawcett’s friend and hairdresser of 18 years who has described her as ‘fearless,’ is at Farrah’s bedside, along with Alana Stewart. Extra has also learned that a priest has been called in — Farrah has always been a devout Catholic.”

Rumor has it the priest has been asked to deliver Fawcett with her last rites. Fawcett’s long-time love, Ryan O’Neal, announced a few days ago that he and Fawcett planned to remarry.

Our hearts are with Farrah and her loved ones at this difficult time. We all continue to hope for a miracle.

UPDATE: Farrah Fawcett has died at the young age of 62. The “Charlie’s Angel” starlet passed away at 12:28 this afternoon. She was surrounded by her loved ones, longtime partner Ryan O’Neal, friend Alana Stewart, friend and hairdresser Mela Murphy.

“She’s gone. She now belongs to the ages,” O’Neal tells PEOPLE, also confirming that she received last rites. “She’s now with he mother and sister and her God. I loved her with all my heart. I will miss her so very, very much. She was in and out of consciousness. I talked to her all through the night. I told her how very much I loved her. She’s in a better place now. “She was with her team when she passed … Her eyes were open, but she didn’t say anything. But you could see in her eyes that she recognized us.”

Our sympathies and condolences to those effected by the loss of this wonderful woman.
