Some hated her, some liked her, some were not botherd, me being the latter.
My thoughts are with her children and dying on mothers day must be extra hard on them.
yea although i hate pretty much everything about her, its a bad way to go

Well why its sad for her family, I'm kinda glad she finally passed on. Her family can now know she is at peace a luxary not all people have.
to be honest she didn't really bother me, but she started to get annoying since she was diagnosed with cancer as she was suddenly everywhere. I understand that knowing about cancer is important, but the real question is there have been countless women before her who have died from it yet she gets more publicity than them and why? because she went on a 'reality tv' show, I'd have rather them have someone who isn't famous so they could truly benefit from the money.

Was opening up browser to check on my webpages this morning when I read the news on msn's homepage. I admit that I felt really sad because no one deserves to die like that ever and also at such a young age. A shame she will never get to see her boys grow up and get to accomplish even more on her lifetime.
I have a lot of respect for her because at least she was always very open about her opinions and did what she wanted to do. As you all said at least she will not be in pain anymore...

Financial security for all of her children, perhaps?

Yes she has, but she already had money thanks to all her tv appearences and magazine interviews.
Surely it would be better if the money went to someone who didn't have the opportunity to be 'famous' there is already talk of Jade's boyfriend planning to sell his 'story' to make even more money.
don't get me wrong its a sad time for her family I'd just of preferred to see the money go to someone who hasn't got the financial backing like Jade had
To be honest, I disliked what she was made in to over who she was, the idiotic notion that being on TV suddenly makes anyone a celebrity when that person has a personality like an ironing board, no real talents, not really liked, and picked up by lifestyle magazines despite they have no redeemable qualities that anyone could look up to, she was just something for old ladies to bicker about, cancer was a pretty sick method of cashing in on this.
Truthfully, anyone who participates in Big Brother will have admirable aspects to them because EVERYONE does, we all have a story to tell in our own way, it only waivers when the press and the media stick their noses in and over emphasize petty things and create all manner of little drama's, that, and greed, with them thinking that their so-called "fame" has somehow granted them the ability to release fitness videos and present TV shows despite they have no talent for it.
So in short, I don't like or hate Jade Goody, this simply does not bother me.

Mildly agreed. It is interesting to note that there was no money going towards Cancer Research or something...

Might seem overly harsh, but I didn't/don't like her. And say this, getting cancer is possibly the best thing she did with her life. Yes it's a horrible way to die, but hopefully she shed some awareness on the situation. That's not to say I am happy she's dead or anything. Just that I believe her to be a waste up until now.
Couldn't give a hoot to be honest.
