Urgh, hadn't even thought of that (and I'm after writing out cards!)

She did trojan work over the last few months to make sure her kids were taken care of for life.

RIP

Rest in Peace, Jade. God bless her little boys.

maxwell smart

Never paid much attention to her as she always irritated me. But having watched the TV show she did over the last few months of her life, I realised how brave she was, always making sure her kids were going to be OK.
And if al this publicity can raise awareness of cervical cancer screening for young girls, her death won't have been in vain.

Rest in Peace Jade

smallBiscuit

I never really liked her, but I'm forced to admire her devotion to her kids. She basically prostituted her own death ("selling it" to the media) to make sure her kids were going to be ok. That more than anything else makes me admire her.

Rest in peace

Verry sorry to hear that, I had always reckoned she was a bit off the wall but she has had a bad turn of fortune.

I think she handled herself with dignity in recent weeks.

upthewalls

Poor Jade only 27 and now she's gone. Sad she died on Mothers Day, May she rest in peace.

so she wasn't lying.. rip.

It's a shame she didn't live the rest of her life that way.

My thoughts go out to her children.

In in so writing you've displayed similar qualities - weldone :rolleyes:

I was no fan of Jades, and even thought at the start of it all (the cancer diagnosis) that it was probably a publicity stunt - sadly it wasn't.

Sure she was a flawed figure, but scratch the surface and most of us are.

But I believe through her death that countless other's will live & I wish her a peaceful rest.

I hate the cult of celebrity , but it is a sad occasion. RIP Jade.

stovelid

In a way it's better that the whole unpleasant, exploitative farrago is at an end. Perspective was becoming hard to come by. She seemed to be a deeply unpleasant, easily-manipulated individual, but hardly a figure deserving of real hatred.

I hope her kids will be OK.

Pity it's not Max Clifford in her place

minidazzler

Meh.

I'm just disappointed there was no thread like this for Natasha Richardson, someone who is at least worthy of praise, and an actual loss to people besides her family.

Nothingcompares

I don't know what to say. It's sad, death from cancer usually is. There's something unnerving about seeing the life and death of this woman through the media. It's like the Truman show but completely different. My sympathy to those that loved her. RIP>

since i was the op i suppose i should give my tuppence worth.the only reason i opened the thread was because no -body else did.im fairly apathetic towards her death. i thought she was an eejit . but i am shocked at how aggresive cancer can be (ive never lost any one to it),and any one of the people posting on here(myself included) could be diagnosed tomorrow and dead within 6 months .thats the scary part

What a fantastic weekend!

First the Grand Slam, then Bernard Dunne, and now Jade.

Yeah she chose live her life in the public, yes she sold her death, yes plenty of young people are dying similar battles without the attention, but none the less a 27 year old woman died leaving 2 young children motherless. That just is not funny.

Have some respect for the dead

I agree with this. The whole celebrity thing is bollix...total bollix.
May she rest in peace now.

Respect is earned. Personnally I just don't care. I am apathetic to her death. It has no effect on me in anyway, so I just don't care. But people who try to talk to me about it and say "It's sooooo Sad" Will just get shot down.


Mairt, thanks for the Link, I didn't even know there was a Celebrity forum.

I was deeply upset to hear the news, as I would be of anyone who has died from cancer, especially someone so young. People think that cancer mainly affects the old and if you do not fit certain criteria but are ill you will find it a lot harder to get a diagnosis - something to think about, unfortunatly it could be any one of us here that could soon be facing a cancer diagnosis. I have seen too many young people with the disease, not all of them made it, they are always in my thoughts.

I found the media circus hard as there was no escaping "cancer world" and sometimes you just like to be normal, whatever that is, I dont know, once it enters your life it changes you, it is up to you what you make of it. Having said that, a lot more women are now getting smears due to public awareness, helped in no small way by Jade.

An Capall Dubh

it just highlights how hypocritical the british media are. they love her now all of a sudden. the new Diana!!!

Today Ireland celebrates sporting heros.

Britain celebrates the life of a nobody.

Lets just hope we don't ever end up like that as a nation.

Munster_Gal

RIP Jade

I was never a fan of her's but any 27 year old woman with 2 young children dying from such an awful disease is upsetting. Everything she has done in the last 12 months have been for her children to ensure that they have a better life than she had. fair play to her for keeping the media interested. I think if it had been anyone else doing the things she did the media wouldn't have been bothered.

I think people need to show some respect her. If not for Jade, then for the two boys that have lost their mother on Mothers Day!!

Why, thank you.

Please don't buy into the revisionist history because she has passed away. I am always amazed how people try to cast people in a different light just because of tragedy.

At the end of the day, she was nothing more than a loudmouth, racist chav who hit the lotto in reality television.

The only thing that matters at this moment is the welfare of her children.

R.I.P Jade.

RIP, an awful way to go.

Jade's ex-husband seems to have been a nice person, stuck around and did his duty of looking after the (his) kids and providing support, but keeping away from the media.

I wonder does Jack Tweedy get half now that they're married???

The marriage.. the true colours of various characters in this will come out, money does odd things to folks way of thinking.. unfortunately for us, as media by-standers, the Jade saga is far from over.

Jade Goody, a moron who made me laugh when she first came on to our screens.

Jade Goody, a moron who made me cringe during the racism scandal.

Jade Goody, a moron who waited far too long for a smear test and then disregarded her results.

Jade Goody, a moron who got a life threatening illness that nobody except horrid murdering type people deserve.

Jade goody, a moron who kept journalists in jobs and money in the bank for her kids.

Jade Goody, a moron like the rest of us, may she rest in peace.

As far as I'm aware, she had symptoms but was misdiagnosed over the last couple of years.

Probably because she did not fit the "profile", younger people find it harder to get a diagnosis for just that reason...if nothing else, it might make a few doctors take young people with symptoms more seriously...
