Following last Friday's news that controversial right wing group, The Westboro Baptist Church, intends to picket late Heaven & Hell frontman Ronnie James Dio's memorial in Los Angeles this weekend, his widow, Wendy Dio, has urged metal fans to show restraint and "turn the other cheek"."Ronnie hates prejudice and violence," she said in an official statement. "We need to turn the other cheek on these people that only know how to hate someone they didn't know. We only know how to love someone we know!"As previously reported The Westboro Baptist Church, who were the subject of a 2007 BBC documentary entitled The Most Hated Family In America, branded Dio a "devil worshiper" and alleged that heavy metal music encourages violence.
