Jade is free from pain now, which in the coming days and weeks her family will take comfort. Let's hope her two boys are given the privacy to grieve and grow-up away from the public eye.

R.I.P Jade
jade is gone but we won't forget her
RIP Jade
I hope the media stops comparing her to Princess Diana :angry:
7 pages of our local paper are taken over by Jade's death this morning (Scottish Daily Record).
Although I feel sorry for her family and he kids especially:
I didn't know her
I didn't want to know her
THIS IS NOT NEWS.
Typical of the press to be so hypocritical - a couple of years ago, Jade was vilified by the media after her behaviour on the Celebrity BB show. Now they are treating her like a princess. I am sick and tired of reading about her and skip the articles about her. I hope that once the funeral has been held, the media find somebody else to concentrate on. I feel sorry for her family and the two boys, but she is not the first and will not be the last mother to lose her life in tragic circumstances.
The funeral of reality television star Jade Goody will take place at a church near her home early next month, a family spokesman has said.
Goody, who died on Sunday aged 27, after losing her battle with cervical cancer, will be buried following a church service in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, on Saturday, April 4.
The funeral procession is to leave her home in Upshire, Essex, at noon and then make its way to St John The Baptist Church, in Buckhurst Hill, via Loughton.
It is not yet clear where Goody will be buried and details of the service have yet to be finalised.
But Goody's widower Jack Tweed may be forced to miss the farewell if he is jailed later this week.
Tweed is already on licence after being released from prison earlier this year.
He was handed an 18-month sentence by a judge at Chelmsford Crown Court in September 2008 after being convicted of assaulting a 16-year-old boy with a golf club.
The court heard that Tweed - and an accomplice - attacked the teenager following a row in Ongar, Essex, in December 2006.
Tweed, of Buckhurst Hill, Essex, was seen leaving Miss Goody's home on Sunday.
Tweed will appear before magistrates for sentencing on Thursday for assaulting a taxi driver in May 2008.
The 21-year-old was convicted earlier this month of attacking Stephen Wilkins during a cab ride.
Magistrates adjourned sentencing in Epping, Essex, and warned Tweed they were considering imprisonment.
A spokeswoman for Harlow Magistrates Court, where the sentencing is due to take place, confirmed the hearing was still scheduled to go ahead.

Jack will not miss the funeral. If he is given a prison sentence on Thursday he will be accompanied to the service by prison officers. If anyone is going to bombard the press with reports on Jade's funeral or anything else it will be Jack going for the sympathy vote hoping that the courts let him off. Jade's suffering and death is sad because no-one that young should die, but she was not the only young mum to die of this terrible disease but I think Jack will try and use Jade's death as a plea to stay out of prison, even though there are prisoners who have family members dying and they can't get out to be with them. If Jack is found guilty he should accept the punishment and not use the funeral as an excuse to avoid jail.
Friends of Jade Goody have revealed that she chose Aerosmith's 1998 single 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing' to be played at her funeral.
According to The Mirror, the song had special meaning to the former reality star because it was played at her wedding to Jack Tweed.
"It will be very moving to hear that again after it meant so much on her big day. There won't be a dry eye in the church," said one friend.
Goody, who died of cancer on Sunday, also requested that another, more up-beat song be played to remind mourners of "enjoying herself in happier days".
Tweed, her mother Jackiey Budden and two of her bridesmaids will give readings at the April 4 memorial, alongside grandfather John Caddock, who walked her down the aisle last month.
Thousands of people are expected to line the route from her home to St. John The Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, with some reports suggesting that there will be a convoy of up to 21 cars.
TV screens will be erected outside the chapel for those who wish to watch the service, while proceedings will commence with Goody's favourite hymn 'All The Small Things'.
Earlier, it was reported that Tweed could miss the funeral if he is imprisoned in relation to an assault charge.
Jack Tweed has been told that he can attend his late wife Jade Goody's funeral, after a sentencing hearing for his assault charge was postponed.
The 21-year-old's presence at the memorial had been cast in doubt as he faced a possible prison sentence at the hearing tomorrow, after being found guilty of attacking a taxi driver earlier this month.
According to Sky News, the hearing has now been postponed until April 16, allowing Tweed to pay his respects to the former reality star, who died of cancer on Sunday.
Thousands of people are expected to line the route from Goody's home to St. John The Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex on April 4, with some reports suggesting that there could be a convoy of up to 21 cars.
Tweed is currently under curfew following his early release from jail in January, after he was previously convicted of attacking a pub manager with a golf club.

Southwark Council is reportedly planning a permanent memorial for Jade Goody, who passed away from cervical cancer on Sunday.
According to the Daily Star, officials are hoping to revamp the Dickens Estate in Bermondsey, South London, where Goody spent her childhood years.
"Residents in the area love Jade and she brought Bermondsey to the front of peoples’ minds," said a source, who claimed that the council had been inundated with requests for a memorial.
"It will be a really lovely way to remember the girl who captured the nation’s hearts and we hope her family be really pleased."
Bosses are reportedly planning to apply for a blue memorial plaque to immortalise the star's connection to the area, as well as constructing a community centre in her name and planting a tree in her honour.
"We’d be very open to discussions about some form of commemoration for Jade, if a majority of residents are keen on the idea," said a spokesperson for the local Liberal Democrats.
Earlier, Goody's husband Jack Tweed paid his first public tribute to the late star, describing her as "my best friend and my beautiful wife".

This is beyond a joke now - I feel desperately sorry for her boys and her mum and grandparents, but she is just an ordinary person who died, not royalty so can the world please get a grip and give us a rest from it all now.
A book of condolences has been opened today to allow members of the public to write messages in memory of Jade Goody.
The book has been placed at St John the Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex ahead of the reality TV star's funeral on April 4.
A spokesman for Chelmsford Diocese said that visitors would be able to light a candle and have an opportunity for reflection as well as pay their respects to the late Big Brother celebrity.
Publicist Max Clifford has said that next month's ceremony "will be very much a Jade Goody production".
I wonder how many people will sign the book just to be able to talk about it in the pub a little later on, but not actually caring about Jade. :rolleyes:

TRAGIC Jade’s grieving husband Jack Tweed has been offered a fortune to write a tell-all book about his life with her.
It would even be fast-tracked so that publishers can get it on the shelves as soon as possible.
Jack, 21, has clinched several massive pay-outs from newspapers, magazines and TV companies after agreeing to sell his story.
His explosive book would tell:
How Jade’s death has devastated him.
How they split following claims that he cheated on her.
How he combated allegations he hooked up with Jade for cash.
How Jade stood by him when he was jailed.
How he will always be a dad to Jade’s two boys.
Those boys have a caring dad of their own. They don't need their mother's thug of a toy boy hanging around any more.
He is showing his true colours now - money grabbing, 'fame' grabbing , limelight hogging waste of space.

All this Jade stuff is seriously getting out of hand. I hope ALL of Jade's family, keep out of the limelight now...and just get on with their lives, rather than milking the press cash cow (though who can really blame them, if they are getting offered lots of money to discuss her). Why is she being turned into a saint???
I was reading a mag today, there was a pic of her body being brought out of her house (obviously a photographer had taken the shot over the garden fence) and it felt sooo wrong and uncomfortable looking at it, in the mag. Someone's death isn't entertainment and in years to come her boys will see that pic. I cant believe, even Jade who sold every aspect of her life (almost) to the media would want the world to see that pic.

"Rex Features
The full details of Jade Goody's funeral have been revealed, including confirmation that the ceremony will be open to the public.
Funeral directors FA Albin of Bermondsey, South London have outlined the order of events for Goody's burial and the procession that will precede it.
The statement read: "Jade has now been in our care since Sunday morning. Simon spent most of the day with her family yesterday, making preliminary arrangements, and a date of Saturday 4th April has been fixed.
"The family wish the service to be a grand celebration of her life with music chosen specially by Jade and with tributes led by close friends and family."
Goody's coffin will be carried by the company's vintage Rolls hearse followed by a cortege of four Daimler limousines and Goody's favourite car, a Bentley.
The funeral procession will travel down Southwark Park Road, through the Dickens Estate where Goody grew up, over Tower Bridge and through Loughton High Street to St John The Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex.
A public address system will be used to broadcast the midday service to fans outside the building, while proceedings will also be screened on a large screen inside the church hall.
Following the service, the procession will move to a private burial ground to allow Goody's family to say their last goodybes.""
Not wishing to be funny or anything, but who does her family exactly think she was, Royalty or something - I have never heard such nonsense in my life - why can't she be buried like a normal person, that's all she was at the end of the day - a normal human being. This whole thing is turning into a circus now, her diary being rushed to be published - why we know all about how she suffered, it was front page news for weeks, a movie of her life - Why, I am seriously fed up with it now.

I've kept quiet on this subject because it just annoys me. I couldn't care less she told her story to make money for the boys, it's nice, and she has done alot of good for alot of women out there, what annoys me is
you cant go anywhere without Jade being there
she is being referred to as "an Essex princess"
people were slagging her off a year ago - 2 years ago, now she is the best person ever
she has her own "memorial magazine"
I was sick of it a while ago, but the memorial mag put the icing on the cake for me has anyone else had one? No :thumbsdow

Please. Enough already. Everyone clamoring to make money out of a dead woman. Its disgusting.
Jade Goody's sons will reportedly not attend their mother's funeral because they would find it too upsetting.
Next Saturday's ceremony is planned as a "grand celebration" of the Big Brother contestant's life, which was cut short when she lost her battle with cancer on Mother's Day.
Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, had been going to give their cards to the 27-year-old when their father Jeff Brazier had to tell them the tragic news.
He and Goody's mum Jackiey Budden have decided that the funeral would be too much for the children, reports The Sun.
A source said: "The boys are so young - Jackiey said she doesn't think their broken hearts will be able to bear it. It's also about the safekeeping of their memories of their mum for when they are older."
The funeral directors handling the ceremony confirmed yesterday that members of the public are welcome at the event, which is to take place at St John The Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex.
I doubt the two boys understand fully what the death of their mother really means and should not attend the funeral anyway, imo. There will be far too much media attention, on them too, instead of a dignified farewell. Their dad or grandmother should take them to the grave after all others have gone again.

The decision not to allow Jade's sons to attend her funeral is one of the sensible reports we have heard this week. Freddie and Bobby are just babies they shouldn't be paraded in this circus. I attended funerals when I was there age and it is not a place for young children, let her boys remember her in their own way not lying in a wooden box. As for a film being made of Jade's life I don't think it is down to Jade. I think it will be Jack idea to try and stay in the limelight, without being heartless if Jade hadn't suffered and died of cancer he wouldn't have got back together with her. He is in it for the money and is trying his hardest to hang onto Jade's publicity. If Jade's family want a legacy then why not start doing thing to raise money for Cancer research like run the london marathon or climb mount everest then open a cancer wing and name it after her.
We all agree that Jade did not deserve to suffer the way she did but in reality she was not the first young mum to loose her battle with Cancer. Look at Jane Tomlinson and the money she raised for cancer research. Her family are still raising money. If Jack and Jackey want Jade's memory to live on then they need to do something positive.

Jade Goody's husband Jack Tweed has expressed frustration over the constant presence of her former fitness instructor Kevin Adams, a report claims.
Ex-Fame Academy coach Adams spent much of his time at Goody's Essex home after she was diagnosed with cancer in August last year.
"Kevin was Jade's fitness instructor and became a friend. But that's all," a source told the Daily Star Sunday.
"Jack is really appreciative of all the help and support Kevin has offered but has felt he should back off at times. Jack doesn't want to rock the boat. He's a quiet guy and doesn't want trouble. But it's fair to say things are becoming strained."
Adams was at Goody's bedside when she passed away at home last weekend. The situation apparently left Tweed "quietly fuming".
The insider added: "The whole thing with Kevin is really weird. He has a wife and children and yet he wanted to be with Jade. No one asked him to be there all the time. He just decided he would be.
"Jack found it really hard to deal with. There were times he just wanted to be alone but Kevin was rarely away from the scene. You have to ask yourself how would you feel if your wife was dying and her fitness instructor was there 24/7?"
Goody will be laid to rest on April 4. Members of the public have been told that they are welcome to attend her funeral.
Surely her husband should have been at her bedside when she passed away?
Jade Goody's sons will fly out to Australia for a holiday with their father Jeff Brazier next week, a report claims.
TV host Brazier has apparently decided that he wants Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, to escape the media glare which will surround Goody's funeral on April 4.
A source told the News Of The World: "Jeff realises there is an argument for the boys attending the funeral and staying here.
"But he thinks there is a much stronger argument for them to just get away from it and remember their mum as she was."
Brazier and the boys are expected to visit the Gold Coast in eastern Australia before staying with friends in Melbourne.
The insider added: "They just want to be completely left alone for three weeks. They won't be doing any press at all."
Goody passed away on Mother's Day following a battle with cancer. She was 27.
That is the right thing to do, take the boys out of the country and hopefully out of the lime light. Hopefully their holiday will not be disturbed by the media being intrusive.

Surely Jack wasn't stopped from being at Jade's side when she died, it was probably his own choice for one reason or another - it sounds to me like he is feeling guilty for not being there and looking for someone to blame. It hasn't taken long for the mud to start flying and she is not even buried yet - says a lot doesn't it.

Depends on the circumstances such as the cause of death, time taken for a PM to be done (if necessary), availability of the undertakers, funeral arrangements etc.
In any case, the body will be refrigerated or embalmed between death and burial.

It's probably going to be nearly 12 days because of all the organising of the funeral.... 'televised event' - normally peeps are buried within 7/8 days.

Jeff is the only sensible one. he is right to take the boys away out of the way let's hope that when they do return they are left alone to grow up out of the limelight.
Michael Jackson is reportedly planning to attend Jade Goody's funeral on Saturday.
According to the Daily Star, the 'Thriller' singer has offered his support to Goody's husband Jack Tweed following the reality star's death from cervical cancer on March 22.
"Michael has been very moved by Jade’s story. He has pledged to offer any support he can and he has promised to try and make it to the funeral," revealed an unnamed insider.
Earlier this month, Jackson was reported to have phoned Goody after learning of her illness through his brother Jermaine, who appeared alongside the star on Celebrity Big Brother in 2007.
The source added that he "spoke to Jade and Jack more than once shortly before she passed away".
Jade Goody could be immortalised by a statue in Bermondsey, it has emerged.
A number of fans have written to council heads and urged them to commemorate the reality TV star, who died last week, The Mirror reports.
Community council chair Bob Skelly said: "The council has plans for the Dickens Estate area where Jade grew up, and I'm sure we could do something."
Publicist Max Clifford said: "It's wonderful news."
It is thought that a statue or blue plaque could be installed to recognise the effort Goody made to raise awareness of cervical cancer.
FFS, I know that the number of smear tests have gone up but she is not the only once that has raised the awareness of various kinds of cancer, but all the other people who are endlessly campaigning and raising funds don't get statutes or plaques installed in their home towns. What about Jane Tomlinson, who did so much for breast cancer and left a husband and young child, for example. Next Goody will be beatified and made a saint :angry:

Michael Jackson will not attend Jade Goody's funeral, publicist Max Clifford has said.
Reports had suggested that the 'Thriller' star would be among mourners attending this Saturday's service after he telephoned Goody just days before her death.
However, Clifford told Sky News: "Michael was never, ever coming, it was never on the agenda. He also feels the focus of the funeral should be about her and her family.
"But he has sent a lovely message of condolence to her family, that she was a brave girl and that her message will save a lot of lives, and he will be sending flowers."
Clifford confirmed that Goody's family want Katie Price to stay away from the service, which is to be held at St John The Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex.
He said that they are angry with the star for criticising Goody's decision to go public about her cervical cancer last September. "The family have made it very they clear they don't want her there," he said.

Cancer victim Jade Goody's hopes for her children are unveiled in poignant final message.
The former Big Brother star, who died from cervical cancer nearly two weeks ago, said she hoped that Bobby and Freddie would turn into 'fine, upstanding young men', and that their times together were her 'most precious memories', according to The Sun.
She also pledges that her husband Jack Tweed, mother Jackiey Budden and the boys' father, TV presenter Jeff Brazier, would help bring the boys up.
Her message - published in the newspaper - comes from a book called Jade: Remember Me This Way, about her life.
It will be published later this month with profits going to charity Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Addressing Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, Jade said: "I have asked for this book to be made so that when you are older you can remember just how much fun we had together.
"I thank God that we made the most of all our time together and I treasure the moments we shared.
"I know that with the help of nanny Jackiey, Jack and daddy Jeff you will turn into fine, upstanding young men."
Jade added: "We had so many wonderful adventures together, from horse-riding and fishing in Wales to camel rides in the desert of Abu Dhabi and water fights at Butlins.
"These are my most precious memories, and this book will be your keepsake so that you will always remember the good times."
Jade's funeral will take place on Saturday April 4.
Her cortege will pass through the streets of Bermondsey before going onto St John the Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, where she will be buried.
It has been reported that her widower Jack will read a special poem at the service.

i personally dont think jack should be allowed to help bring the kids up
It will be published later this month with profits going to charity Marie Curie Cancer Care.
im glad the money will be going to help cancer
DM, depends how long she has been with Jack.. I seen on Living one episode where she is picking Jack up from prison and the kids are really excited that he is coming home... the kids love him, you could see that at the wedding, the older kid (Freddy I think) was clinging to him... I don't see why he can't be involved with them and help bring them up if they feel close to him and he provides stability (can't see that happening if he keeps going to prison though)

he just doesnt seem like a very good father figure/role model for them. i just think theyd do a lot better without him there
Jack isn't the ideal role model. Convictions for ABH and assault, jail time etc.
At the end of the day, if the kids are happy about it and Jeff doesn't mind, then Jack should play a part in their upbringing. How big that part is, is up to Jeff and the kids.
I can't believe the media are still talking about her ten days after her death. It's about time they left the family to grieve in peace. There are far more newsworthy things going on at the moment than a young mother who has died of cancer.

Well I was thinking there was a photo of Jack just the day after his wife died, he was in a restraunt and sitting there with a few other women ( granted they might have been Jade's friends) but the point I am trying to make here is, Jack and Jade had a brief relationship they broke up then they got back together again,, then he went off to the slammer, got out,, got married she died, now Jack is young good looking and hes got a few quid to rub together ( thanks to Jade ) hes going to want to find a new life , is there room in his life for those two little boys ?? :searchme: Will the woman of his choice want those two little boys in their lives that are NOT JACKS ?
I agree Jack is not a very good role model. But again its up to Jeff..and the boys..I just hope those boys have a chance in life and that they are not thrown in the lime light cos some one said YOUR MOM OWES US,, :thumbsdow

those boys will be looked after by their father and their grandmother jack will go away and 'start a new life with a new wife'!!he will enjoy his new life been a millionaire (when he has sold his stories) to worry about those kiddys.... jack only used jade for publicity in the first place
he just doesnt seem like a very good father figure/role model for them. i just think theyd do a lot better without him there
Thats a fair enough point but if the boys love him then they should get to see him.
I mean not everyones parents are perfect role models and he hasnt hurt them so he should be allowed to spend time with them
He must maintain contact with them, they know him and will have bonded with him. Not fair if he stops seeing them because their mum is no longer alive.
Just watching the news and there's rumours that the funeral on Saturday is a fake :rolleyes: This is beyond a joke now. I'm fed up of hearing about it.
The undertakers in charge of Jade Goody's funeral have reportedly offered to donate their fees to her children's trust fund.
The late Big Brother contestant started the account for her children before her death from cancer last month.
Bermondsey's F.A. Albin & Sons have been enlisted to carry out Goody's instructions at Saturday's service in Buckhurst Hill, Essex, reports the Daily Mail.
Director Barry Albin-Dyer said that he will donate the company's fee to the fund established for Freddie, four, and Bobby, five, and will also donate to Goody’s cervical cancer charity.
The Daily Mail quotes the funeral fee could reach £25,000 and features some candles with Jade's face on them :eek:

this has gone beyond TACKY..the funeral home can well afford to give up their fees, but like one commenter made on the site,,if it had been some ordinary young mother of 2, they would not have had a 2nd thought, this is for publicity only and there is more money in the publicity.. like the candles for instance..their name and address is printed on it TACKY TACKY,, how do we really know that all the money is actually going in to a fund FOR those kids..:searchme:
Bury the woman for heavens sake and let these kids get on with their lives,, geeze:angry:

she has been dead for 2 weeks! how come it has taken this long for them to shovel her in the ground
I presume that all the arrangements Jade had planned took a while to put in place.All those vehicles she wanted have to be available on the same day, for example. There might also have been a post mortem and maybe tomorrow was the most convenient day for her family, some might need more time to attend the funeral.

Ok granted that may be the case, but they are stringing this out a bit..........how long are those bodies supposed to be kept in the cooler ??? or is she supposed to be cremated ?? Regardless of the CONVEINCE,, pleaseeeee Jack and Jades mum are both UNEMPLOYED,, those two are the key mourners ( since it has been said that the boys are in Oz with Jeff) the others are irrelevant, or are they selling tickets for each butt that is put in the pew??? sorry I find this OUTRAGEOUS,,,and EXTREMELLY of bad taste.:thumbsdow :thumbsdow :thumbsdow
Funerals in the UK normally take a week or more after the person dies.. in Ireland it is 3 days or less

My personal experience has always been 4 -6 days.
25 Grand for a funeral FFS. I know the costs of burial etc are extortionate in London but Albins are having a laugh surely. The average funeral should cost somewhere in the region of £2500 - £3000. Then again I suppose it will be like her wedding, a tottally over the top Chav affair. I suppose she will have to have a Horse Drawn hearse and no doubt Max Clifford has sold the rights to some trashy tabloid. The whole thing will be a media circus for Z Listers (I expect the Poison Dwarf will get in on the act). I think its disgraceful and an appalling waste of money. If thats the type of funeral they want I certainly dont think a Church is the place to have it. They would have been betting going to some pub or nightclub for it.
I really do not know what the delay is for other than to generate more publicity and more money for Mr Clifford and the tabloids. As Shiv has already said most funerals in Ireland are held in about three days and even thats after a postmortem has taken place.
Not only did Ms Goody crave publicity in her short life but it looks like she is trying to gain it from the grave.:sick:

unless its a bank holiday or their is suspicious circumstances its usually 4-6 days its never 2 weeks
There wouldn't be a PM for Jade as she had terminal cancer. The cause of death is already known.
Unless there are a lot of people dying in the area and a great demand for undertakers, there is no reason why she shouldn't have been buried before now.
I see no reason why her funeral should cost £25k, other than more publicity, nor why it should take two weeks for her to be buried.
What exactly is she getting for her £25k? A solid gold coffin? Nobody will care after the funeral what the casket looked like or how many cars were there.
Nobody will care after the funeral what the casket looked like or how many cars were there.
Nobody will care about Jade Goody two weeks after her funeral either. In fact I dont really care about her now. There are hundreds of women young and old dying every week from cancer who did not make a song and dance about it. Their families didnt spend 25 grand on a funeral nor a million quid on a wedding. Most of them ask for donations in lieu of flowers to be given to a Cancer charity so that others may be helped.

The reason for the delay is for the publicity no-other reason. Usually funerals take place 4 or 5 days after death, even when it happens during holiday time. My mum died on 30 Dec and she was buried on 5 Jan and as for the costs because Jackie and Jack are unemployed the government would cover most of the costs for the funeral so there is no need to go to all that expense as I have said before why not donate the money to buying new equipement or employing extra caner nurses. What are they going to do next declare 22 March a national day of mourning.
When my Gran died of cancer she had specified the undertaker that she wanted to deal with her funeral arrangements. We had to wait 2 weeks for her funeral as the undertaker she'd chosen couldn't do it sooner. As Jade had made a lot of her wishes clear, maybe she had chosen her own too and they didn't think she should get priority over others just because she was a celebrity.
Albins are a large firm of Funeral Directors. They are more than capable of doing 20 funerals a day so I dont think this was the cause of the delay.
Anybody on here attending the funeral?
WREATHS spelling out Jade Goody’s best-known sayings — including “Minging” and “East Angula” — will accompany the reality TV star on her final journey today.
Thousands of mourners are expected to turn out to pay their respects as she wanted her funeral to be a fun event.
Mum-of-two Jade, 27, planned the service herself before she died from cervical cancer last month.
And she showed typical humour in requesting wreaths depicting key elements of her life including a perfume bottle, newspaper and camera.
Floral arrangements will also include the word “kebab” — from one of her infamous Big Brother moments — and a Marmite jar after she compared herself to the spread, saying: “You either love me or hate me.”
Florist Nancy Arif said Jade’s husband Jack Tweed had asked for the word “Wife” in white, just like the flowers at their wedding six weeks ago.
Nancy added: “One of her friends has asked me to do ‘Legend’. It’s an honour to do this for Jade, and we will try to do her proud, and make the flowers as beautiful as she was.”
Other floral arrangements will spell out the words “Daughter”, “Granddaughter” and “Mummy” — with a huge “Goody” emblazoned on the roof of the hearse.
The flowers, including a wreath sent by David and Victoria Beckham, will be carried by four cars.
A 21-vehicle funeral cortege will follow the vintage hearse carrying Jade’s coffin when it sets off at 8.30am from Bermondsey, South London, where she was born.
The procession will continue at walking pace to Jade’s childhood home on the Dickens Estate, where her mum Jackiey still lives.
It will also stop briefly at the Blue Market, where traders will follow tradition and bow their heads in respect.
Jade’s grandfather John Caddock — who used to run a stall at the market — said last night: “I’m expecting a sea of people everywhere we go.”
The procession will cross Tower Bridge en route to Jade’s home in Upshire, Essex.
Jade’s coffin will also pass the beautician’s parlour which she used to part-own in Loughton, Essex.
Mourners will then walk from Loughton to the service at St John the Baptist Church in nearby Buckhurst Hill.
Grieving Jack, 21, will read out a heartbreaking poem he wrote for Jade, before releasing a single white dove to mark their love as she is laid to rest in her wedding dress at Epping Burial Ground.
A further 27 doves, one for each year of her life, will be released as Jade is lowered into the ground.
Two of her favourite photographs of her sons have been placed in her coffin, which was sealed by her mum yesterday.
A family friend said: “There won’t be a dry eye in the church or at the burial.”
Jade’s sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, have been taken to Australia with dad Jeff Brazier to avoid the public gaze.
Well-wishers continued to leave flowers at Jade’s home yesterday.
Cancer survivor Sally Chambers, 32, said: “Jade was like a shining light to me and I feel I’d be letting her down if I wasn’t at the funeral.”
Anglican bishop David Hawkins, whose diocese covers Jade’s home, praised her for facing death with “reality and courage”.
The Rt Rev Hawkins said her actions would help others. He added: “Amidst the sadness that a young mother’s life has been cut short, the funeral will also be a celebration of a 27-year-old who lived life to the full.”
From The Sun
That would explain some of the high costs, all those flowers, which need 4 cars alone :eek:
WTF. 21 cars along with the hearse. What a senseless waste of money. From my time in the business I know that floral tributes like MUM etc cost around £50 PER LETTER!!!!!!!. All this wasted money on flowers which will be as dead as Jade in a weeks time. She lived like a Chav, married like a Chav, died like a Chav and now is being buried with full chav honours.:wall: These people make me want to vomit.
She could have used the money to ensure her name lived on like spending it on a Cancer Ward or buying equipment to research this terrible disease.
Instead they spend a fortune on a tacky wedding and funeral. What a sad bunch of losers.
at the end of the day she earned money for her sons, she got the wedding she wanted and now she has the funeral she wanted which she paid for before she died. she has donated money fromm her book yes she could have donated more but this is the funeral she wanted, dont we all have ideas for the tyoe of funeral we want??? dont familys do whatever they can to grant that last wish.
Hopefully this is the last we will hear of it all for a while.
RIP jade and thanks, im one women who put off her smear for months, mine was due a long time ago and now because of the publicity from this i have now booked my smear!
I don't need somebody like Jade to remind me to get a test done, you hear of people getting the disease all the time. She was a rude, foul-mouthed, racist, her dying a horrible death does not change my view of her. Other cancer sufferers raise loads of money for cancer charities, nothing special about her. It is all down to Max Clifford advising her, otherwise we would not have heard that much about her.

What exactly do you mean she died like a chav??? I am by no means a fan of JAde and I think both the media and public have totally gone over the top with this 'princess of Essex' business.... but I think the way she conducted herself after being told she had weeks to leave, earned my respect. Yes, it was done in full public view (but who can knock her motives - to provide for her sons, after her death?), but she made her finally weeks count...
If family and friends wanted to spend THEIR money on buying flowers for her funeral, then soooo what? Why shouldn't they? I'd do the same for a member of my family or friend.

Im sorry PB I have to disagree with you. The way she and the hangers on behaved in the days leading up to her death was disgusting. I blame the media as much as her publicity seeking hangers on. She was a nobody and yet to see the way she got on and was treated you would think she was royalty. The way she behaved in the weeks leading up to her death did not earn my respect. I just wonder how many other women suffered the same painful death that she undoubtedly suffered in the same time.
Of course her family and friends are free to spend THEIR money on flowers for her. Personally I feel that they are a terrible waste of money. I prefer to give flowers to someone when they are alive to appreciate them rather than see them rotting on top of a grave. One simple wreath or spray is nicer and more dignified than spending hundreds of pounds on daft floral tributes which will be dead in a week and tossed on a skip.

I have to agree with Alan on the amount of flowers wreaths. We have a local daily newspaper where they have the hatches, matches and despatches (birth, marrige and death) if you look at those who have died many say family flowers only but give donations to named charities. Posh spice was reported to send a wreath, that wouldn't have been cheap were the money could have been spent on treatment and medication.
The wreaths with the marmite jar and minging was just an insult. We all know she wasn't the brightest pixie in the forrest but let her have some dignity in death as she had none in life, and show some compasion to her two young sons. Mum, Daughter and Jade would have been more fitting.
Have a read of this. This is an inspiration to anyone suffering from Cancer.

Jade deserve to be admired for what she has done in the last 6 months I know a lot don't agree with her having the camera filming her and getting paid for it but she was doing it to provide a decent upbring for her sons something she didn't have, but it's the banwagon jumpers who get on my nerves, they are the ones who are making a mockery of her memory she may not be Jane Tomlinson but in her own way she tried to raise awarness of cancer.
If all those mourners who lined the streets today donated a fiver instead of throwing a flower it could have paid for a nurses wages for a day or week. If Jack want's the world to remember Jade give her the respect in death that she never had in life. If he wants Jade's legacy to live on then he should be the one to take if forward by raising funds for cancer research.
Jade Goody's two young children have sent messages in a bottle saying her "little men" loved her and thought about her all the time.
Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, did not attend the funeral because they are on holiday in Australia with their father, Jeff Brazier, who also paid tribute to "their one in a million mother".
The three held their own ceremony hours before the funeral on the beach at a private resort near Sydney.
In the letters, published by the News of the World, the boys wrote: "To Mummy, Please speak to God and ask him to make the clouds go away on holiday because we can't see the stars.
"We love you very much and speak about you every day, we know you are with us when we play on the beach, eat our dinner and even when we are colouring in pictures for you, we know we can talk to you and you'll hear us.
"You are always in our thoughts and in our hearts mum, we are proud of you and you'll never to be forgotten"
It ended: "We miss you, love your little men, Bobby and Freddie."
Jade's two sons also drew pictures for her and put them in the bottle which they launched into the ocean, the newspaper reported.
Their father, Mr Brazier, 29, also paid tribute to Jade, saying she gave the couple "the two things that mean the most".
"The boys have amazed me with their strength and you'll always be remembered, as we discussed, you never forget where you're from and the boys will learn so much about love, strength, kindness, self belief, determination and enjoying what you have in life simply from the many stories I have for them about their one in a million mother," he wrote in a letter.
Jade reportedly made around £8m in her short career with her perfume, fitness DVD etc. Was there really this need to publicise her wedding and dying with the eternal excuse of wanting to provide for her sons? With advisers like Max Clifford around, she would have got decent advice on investing that money she already had. Could she not have raised the money for charities to help other sufferers and trying to find a cure? :hmm:

She could have but then her publicity seeking family and hangers on would not have been able to make money from her death. Max Clifford does not work for the goodness of his health. Im sure he made a few quid out of Jades painful death. Im sure her delightful Mum Jackey and her new hubby will both be publishing books about the late ''Princess'' Jade:rolleyes: :thumbsdow :sick:

IMO it was Max Clifford who turned Jade Goody and her cancer into a media circus. We do not know whether she recieved financial advice from him, but I am sure someone will have been involved on that score.
However, I do not really think he was being altruistic when he got involved with her, after all there is no such thing as bad press, and news or a topic like this was hardly low profile from the begining, was it?
I do though, believe that her condition being in the news, has raised awareness about cervical cancer - which is no bad thing and if in doing so it makes this dreadful condition a news item and helps to save womens' lives I think it is forgiveable. Maybe the cancer charities have benefited in some way, but that is yet to be declared.
Her children are hopefully now protected financially, which was I understand her main concern.
I only hope that Jack Tweed does not manage to make money out of her misfortune.:nono:

DEVOTED fans have turned tragic Jade Goody’s final resting place into a shrine.
They quickly discovered the secret location where the reality TV icon is buried.
And yesterday scores of tearful well-wishers made an emotional pilgrimage to the peaceful site to say their own final farewell.
Many wiped away tears as they added flowers to the growing mound at the picturesque graveside – some spelling out “wife”, “daughter” and “granddaughter”.
Only close family had attended the graveside ceremony after the funeral on Saturday as guests and fans respected wishes for the burial to be in private.
No-one other than Jade’s inner circle of friends and family had even been told the venue.
But fans desperate for their own final moment with Jade soon flocked to the quiet spot, set among rolling hills in the Essex countryside, to pay tribute to the 27-year-old, who died of cervical cancer two weeks ago.
Many more went to Jade’s house in Upshire, Essex, to pay their respects to Jade’s mum, Jackiey Budden, 50, as she recovered from the ordeal of Saturday’s funeral service.
Yesterday moving details of the farewell bash at Blakes Golf Club emerged.
Jade’s sons Bobby, five, and Freddy, four, had written messages which said “We love you mummy” before they went to Australia with dad Jeff Brazier, 29.
The messages were put inside cream-coloured balloons and released at the wake.
The 150 mourners were reduced to tears as they watched a video montage of Jade’s life story made especially for the occasion.
Bishop Jonathan Blake, who wed Jade and husband Jack Tweed, gave out a special prayer card he had written for the wake.
He said: “Jade was a beautiful person, she still lives on in all of us. Sometimes when people speak, you will still hear Jade in their voice.”
Jack, 21, moved upstairs with pals where he was comforted, sticking to Jade’s wishes for a booze ban.
The mood lightened as guests, including pop star Jamelia, 28, played Connect 4 in the afternoon sunshine.
Mourners including pop star Antony Costa, 27, Jamelia’s footballer husband Darren Byfield, 32, restaurateur Aldo Zilli, 53, and Jade’s agent Max Clifford, 65, sipped tea and coffee.
They shared their memories and funny stories about larger-than-life Jade. Waitresses gave out lemon sole and chicken goujons, platters of sandwiches, cheese and leek tartlets, roast beef and Yorkshire puddings with horseradish sauce and small pieces of cod with fat-cut chips.
The delicacies were followed up with canapes and more giant marble platters with fanned-out layers of fruit, cheese and vegetables.
Chef Mark Hardy, 32, and his colleagues spent two days preparing the food. He said: “It was an honour to cook for Jade’s family. She has changed the world by making people more aware of cancer.”
Big-hearted bosses at the upmarket golf club have waived the fee for the wake out of respect for Jade.
Jackiey moved upstairs with other guests to a large table in the bar area where they flicked through photo albums, and was the last to leave.
This is ruddy ridiculous. :angry:

If the public are going to see where Jade resting place is then Jack and Jackie are to blame they are the ones who made everyone of Jade's breath she made in the last few days of her life public knowledge. they are the ones who organised the showcase of a circus when they could have had a private service instead of a street parade.
Jack is got his 30 pieces of silver from the public and milked Jade's death for everything he could now he wants the public to go away well tough, life isn't like that. He should have thought about the knock-on effect what it would have.
You can be sure that over the coming weeks and months Jack, Jackey and Uncle Max will milk this death for all its worth. I fully expect there to be a book and a DVD of the ''Life and Times of Princess Jade''.
Jade Goody died horrible a painful death and lets not take away from that but for people to cash in on it is just DISGUSTING in my opinion. The funeral was more like a circus parade.

I watched the funeral on TV as my mum sky+ed it and i just happened to be downstairs watching the grand national race as we just do a pound bet between family and i wanted to see how i did, well i wasnt going to stay down and watch the funeral when mum put it on but the flowers on the side of the car were bugging me as to what they said and so i watched it to find out though we fowarded through boring bits (joys of sky+ folks) and having seen what i did of it im in too minds about alot of things involving Jade now.
I am sick of the whole Jade thing because she is just everywhere now and in that respect i do wish she kept the entire thing private
but having said that she has done a fantastic thing for women around the world, and if Bobby & Freddy do get the life she didn't then that is also fantastic
but then the other side of that is that only the boys and maybe her mum should get the money from this
Part of me thinks the funneral should not have been so OTT because she was not royalty and no one really gave a damn about her before the cancer thing happened, why now?
but then it was something Jade wanted to happen and i think the fact it was open to public and there were flowers in honour really of what Jade really meant to fans (ie East Angular) was probably really nice for true fans, i do think however that people are two faced over this, no one even wanted the name Jade Goody mentioned two years ago, now she can do no wrong
I also agree with who ever said that the money from the flowers that the public chucked at the car could have gone to some cancer charity rather than to a bonnet of a car
but then again i think the throwing flowers thing meant something to fans
final thing really is, i dont think she should be referred to as a princess, she got her fame through her loud mouth/dumb blonde moments and sexual antics on big brother, half the time no one liked her, or if they did it wasnt many of them, without big brother she would mean nothing to anyone, she was just some big mouthed Essex girl no different to people we see on the streets or any of us on here, she dont deserve the title princess just because she raised awareness of cancer, so many other people do what she did but are not heard about or even regarded as a princess because they did not sell stories to papers etc

im annoyed by the fact that the funeral directors said they would put their fee in the trust fund for the 2 boys and that the place where the wake was held didnt charge anything. if this had been any other person the family would have to have had paid the fees and no one would have been kind enough to put money into any young children who might have been lefts trust funds, who would probably need it more as jades kids have already been left loads from the publicity. i feel the funeral directors etc are just doing it to get publicity for themselves
i feel the funeral directors etc are just doing it to get publicity for themselves
I agree with you there. I thought it was very undignified the way Barry (Albin) Dyer took off his hat and waved to the crowds. This is hardly the way one would expect a Funeral Director to appear.

Surely the boys would have been left well off anyways from Jade's earnings and their dad Jeff's earnings - money isnt everything keeping them safe and loved also is vital and they way this circus is being potrayed the in media it doesnt show Jade or her family as good parent role models. Surely she should have wanted her kids out of the limelight which is not going to happening now their mother's death is everywhere. I'm sorry she maybe dead but she is not a good role model or parent by any means.
Jack Tweed has reportedly revealed that he wants to be buried alongside his late wife Jade Goody.
According to The Sun, the family have bought a double plot in the graveyard at St. Thomas's Church in Essex, where Goody was buried last Saturday.
"If I go I want to be next to Jade so we can lie together forever. If anything happened to me I want to know I’ll be with her," he is quoted as telling friends.
The 21-year-old visited his wife's grave with mother-in-law Jackiey Budden yesterday. Discussing her daughter's burial plot, Budden is reported to have said: "It's a beautiful place and a fantastic view. Jade would have been so happy."
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Goody's publicist Max Clifford admitted that Tweed was finding it "difficult" to cope without his wife.
"They were soulmates and complemented each other. Now she's gone, there's a dreadful realisation he has to get on with his life," he explained. "He told me, 'There's a great big hole in my life and I don't know how I'm going to fill it'."
Earlier, it was reported that the family wanted fans to "respect" the reality star's final resting place after around 100 people visited the site to take photographs at the weekend.
He is only 21 years old. Surely he will get married again at some time and have a family. Should he not be buried with his then wife rather with the one he only married because she was dying and it was her wish to be married to him before she did. And it got him a little spending money too. :rolleyes:
Surely the boys would have been left well off anyways from Jade's earnings and their dad Jeff's earnings - money isnt everything keeping them safe and loved also is vital and they way this circus is being potrayed the in media it doesnt show Jade or her family as good parent role models. Surely she should have wanted her kids out of the limelight which is not going to happening now their mother's death is everywhere. I'm sorry she maybe dead but she is not a good role model or parent by any means.
Hopefully as soon as Jeff returns from Australia with the children he will say "enough is enough" to the media and refuse permission for them to take photos of the boys, which as their Dad he obviously has every right to do.
They tend to pixel out the face of celebritie's children but I am sure that we will continue to see more photos of them for many years to come - especially on special days like first day at school, first Christmas, first anniversary of Jade's death etc.
Sir Michael Parkinson has blasted the late Jade Goody for representing "all that's paltry and wretched about Britain today".
Writing in the Radio Times, the legendary broadcaster admitted that Goody had cemented her place in television history but claimed her achievements were "nothing to be proud of".
"Her death is as sad as the death of any young person, but it's not the passing of a martyr or a saint or, God help us, Princess Di... When we clear the media smokescreen from around her death, what we're left with is a woman who came to represent all that's paltry and wretched about Britain today," he said.
He continued: "She was brought up on a sink estate, as a child came to know both drugs and crime, was barely educated, ignorant and puerile. Then she was projected to celebrity by Big Brother and from that point on became a media chattel to be manipulated and exploited till the day she died."
Speaking to The Mirror, Goody's spokesperson Max Clifford said: "I'm very sad and surprised."
Goody, 27, passed away on Mother's Day after losing her battle with cervical cancer.
Does anybody know whether she was ever on his show? :searchme:

Apparently, he did say some time ago that he would like to interview her, as she has an 'interesting back story' which makes you think this might be sour grapes.
I know a lot of what he says people will agree with, some of it I do (having read the whole interview). However, I think his timing is terrible... could he not wait a bit? The poor woman's just been put in the ground.

The timing might not be the best but I think Michael is speaking for the majority of people when he says this. I hardly think anyone with an ounce of common sense would want their kids to use Jade as a role model.
I think the bitter truth that Jade was naive in the extreme and was easily led and used by those around her for their own selfish ends. She was so gullible that she didnt realise that people were laughing AT her and not WITH her.
HEARTBROKEN Jackiey Budden wrestles with her emotions as she reads the Bible at her daughter’s grave yesterday.
Jade Goody’s grieving mum seemed to draw strength from the holy text as she sat alone on the grass, occasionally reading passages aloud.
She also brought a picnic to the flower-laden site and later ate crisps and a Scotch egg.
An onlooker at the churchyard near Jade’s home in Upshire, Essex, said: “She looked visibly upset but she managed to hold back the tears. She read from the Bible for quite some time and every now and then read parts of it aloud. She looked like she felt content sitting there.”
Jackiey, 51, is planning a trip to Jamaica where she lived years ago and still has pals.
She told Now magazine: “They’ll look after me. It’ll be good to take some time out to recuperate.”
I would not have a picnic by the grave so soon after the funeralside if I wanted to be left alone to grieve. But she is obviously also still happy to speak to the press. :rolleyes:
JACK Tweed is preparing a “memory box” of his time with tragic bride Jade Goody as he faces jail for attacking a cabbie.
He is choosing his favourite wedding pictures, letters and pieces of Jade’s jewellery to help him cope with her death while he is behind bars.
Jack, 21, fears he might not be allowed home from court after he is sentenced on Thursday next week.
The widower has been warned that he will be locked up after being convicted of assaulting Stephen Wilkins in May last year as he was being driven home from a nightclub.
Sentencing was adjourned so that he could attend the funeral of reality TV star Jade last Saturday.
A close family friend said: “Jack is still coming to terms with burying Jade but knows jail is a real possibility.
“He can’t bear the thought of not being able to visit his wife’s grave.
“But he has said the next best thing would be to have a memory box of their life together.”
Jade, 27, who died of cancer on Mother’s Day at her home in Upshire, Essex, left a similar box for sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four.
Prison rules mean that anything Jack takes in must be scanned and approved.
The pal added: “He is fearing the worst and thinks jail is inevitable.
“But he is clinging to the hope the judge will think he has already gone though enough and will give him a suspended sentence.”
Jack, of Buckhurst Hill, Essex, visited his probation officer yesterday, after missing an appointment on Monday.
He is already under a 7pm-7am curfew after being released early from jail on licence.
Jack was serving 18 months for hitting a teenager with a golf club.
It emerged yesterday that sales of Paulo Nutini’s album These Streets have rocketed since two of the songs — Last Request and Jenny Don’t be Hasty — were played during Jade’s funeral service.

The more I hear about this shower the angrier I get. A graveside picnic in consecrated ground and the press just happened to be there. A visit to a loved ones graveside is supposed to be a way of paying respect to the deceased not another excuse for a publicity shoot. I suppose OK magazine will be accompanying Jackey to Jamaica and sun tabloid will be picking up the bill for the trip.
I am beginning to wonder if they ever gave a damn about Jade or just used her to ride the celeb status she brought...

ive never liked her, i didnt like her while she had cancer (although i did feel sorry for her) and i dont like her now. i agree with what he said although maybe it was at the wrong time to say it, i dunno, i mean shes only just died and ok she wasnt a saint and from what i saw/heard about her while she was still alive she was someone i would have wanted to keep well away from if i knew her, but its never the best idea to badmouth someone as soon as theyve died, whoever they are, even if thats what everyone else is thinking

I think it was very harsh that Parky said "she represented all that is wretched about Britain today" she wasn't perfect..far from it, but she knew no better. I agree that she shouldn't be seen in the same light as Princess Diana and shouldn't be treated like a saint, but it was harsh that he decided to say this just after she's been buried - it may be what everyone is thinking, but he should have had some compassion and kept his thoughts to himself.

I admire how Jade coped/lived her life knowing she only has weeks to live, and totally (it seemed) put her children and their feelings and needs first... She cashed in big time with the wedding ect.... but it's not as if she was to benefit from the cash, was it? She did not say (nor claim) she was a saint. She was very human, with many a flaw.... I never thought much, or took much notice of the woman before this cancer business.... and then it was sooo saturated in the papers, it was hard to pick up a paper or magazine without reading something about her battle with such a cruel disease.
I think/hope that the Jade business can be put to rest now, along with Jade... magazines, the press in general have milked this for all its worth. I think for her boys' sakes enough is enough...
... Michael Parkinson by speaking out sooo soon after her death, was wrong, and I personally feel did him no favours either... he has come over as quite callous.
JACK Tweed has begged Madame Tussauds bosses to make a WAXWORK of his late wife Jade Goody.
He visited the London attraction yesterday to ask if the figure could be built — as Jade requested before she died on Mother’s Day aged 27.
Jack, 21, also asked if facilities could be offered beside the figure to allow donations to cancer charities.
He told a pal: “Jade told me she’d love a statue of herself. This is the nearest I can get to it.”
Jade’s gran Sylvia Caddock blasted TV’s Sir Michael Parkinson for criticising Jade, saying: “I’d like to wring his neck.”

Why would Madame Tussades immoralize some one like Jade?? This is seriously taking things a bit too far!!
I wonder if Jack thinks if he keeps up this crusade ( with the help of GREEDY AND SLIMEY Max Clifford) this will keep him out of jail ?? Does he think he can get away with his "punishment" because he is a recent widower of the FAMOUS Jade and he needs to be out there keeping Jades name in the media.
Sadly from what I am seeing, it is no longer about Jade and her battle with cancer, it is about lining pockets of others. Hmm with Jack gone to jail, who is the media going to hound ?? Jacky ?:searchme:

I have just seen an advert for the "Funeral Edition" of OK, with indept stories and picture about the funeral - how tacky is that. Now it's all about staying in the public eye - well I have had enough now. I am not interested in the funeral, how they are coping, her son's last message to their mother. She has earned enough now to keep her sons for the rest of their lives and if not they have a father who is more than willing to contribute.
Everytime i go on my User CP this thread is up there with more posts.
Jade is dead, and it is very sad, i feel sorry for her family and her boys. But to be quite honest i wish everyone would just shut up about this.
Jade did a good thing by lowering the screening age - and by being open about her cancer she has helped lots of other people, but so many people - young people die every day with cancer and other terminal diseases - and they don't get all the publicity Jade got. And at the end of the day - all Jade did was apear on Big Brother.
The publicity she and the family are receiving now is ridiculous. Okay magazine every flipping week have a new edition out cememorating Jade :rolleyes: I don't see them doing that for any other women or infact people that have died from cancer, and some of the people have done more than Jade could even have dreamed of done (referencing to a link i think Alan posted) I think Jade's family should be left in peace - and the newspapers/tv shows/magazines should get over it :rolleyes:
The Link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-479984/Jane-Tomlinson-An-inspiration-end.html
In the interest of been a good Moderator, it seems that the news stories added in this thread is getting everyone's goat.. Does anyone want this thread anymore? I would be happy to RIP Jade and let everyone look to news reports if they still have an interest.. Everyone agreed?
I agree. This thread should be closed.
This thread has run its course. I am sorry about Jade dying and the loss to her children. Thanks to Jade that the age limit is reduce for smear test but this now has become a post funeral circus
RIP Jade....closing
