After the increasingly tragic circumstances surrounding the suicide of Jacintha Saldanha - the nurse who took her own life after being the victim of a prank call regarding Kate Middleton's stay at the hospital at which she was employed - have continued to be uncovered, the woman's body has now arrived in India.

According to reports, the 46-year-old's remains are now in Mangalore in Karnataka, where she was raised, and Saldanha's husband Benedict Barboza and their daughter Lisha, 14, and son Junal, 16, will travel there to attend her funeral service, which is said be expecting as many as 5,000 attendees at Our Lady of Health Church in the town of Shirva.

Furthermore, the hospital in Mangalore at which she studied nursing is reportedly planning to create a memorial award in her honor.

We're glad to hear that her memory will live on through something so positive.

However, our heart, thoughts, and prayers still go out to this woman's husband, children, and loved ones at they still struggle to make sense of this horrific tragedy and come to terms with what must be irreversible grief.

May she R.I.P.

Legendary and, as of late, controversial college football coach Joe Paterno passed away on Sunday after complications from lung cancer.

His family will say goodbye one last time during a private funeral on Wednesday, then hold a public memorial service at the Bryce Jordan Center on Penn State University's campus the next day.

Details are still being worked out, but PSU is allowing two tickets per person for the memorial.

We're sure the building will be packed to the walls for the event because Paterno was truly loved by everyone in the Penn State community.

One group who won't be there, however, is the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priest, who issued a statement reading:

Although we can't understand what they are saying, the overwhelming emotions do not get lost in translation.

All tickets had been sold out long before Wednesday's tragedy claimed the lives of 43 people when a plane crashed in Russia shortly after take off. Amazingly, not a single ticket was returned and spectators brought flowers to show their respect.

Check out the video above to see the ceremony held due to the sad, sad circumstances.

So glad this has all been resolved.

A memorial service for Russell Armstrong has been officially scheduled for Wednesday at the Church of the Hills at Forest Lawn cemetery in El Lay.

Although it's unclear if his family will attend the 3pm ceremony, Russell's body's ashes will be split between there and with relatives in Texas.

Seems like a fair compromise.

Hopefully now they can put the drama behind them and focus on helping one another work through their.

Stay strong. You're all in our thoughts.
