Jade was a shining example
NO REGRETS: Nowhere have I seen it suggested that Jade Goody was an angel, saint, or other heavenly being. Even she herself denied such claims.
In every interview I have read, she acknowledges the fact that she had done some things she wasn't proud of but insisted, quite rightly in my opinion, that she wasn't going to spend the rest of her life regretting parts of it that she couldn't change. Jade believed in God and heaven, and she had made her apologies to the right people, including Shilpa Shetty. If Shilpa could forgive her then what right has anyone else to hold a grudge?
In the forefront of Jade's mind were her children. How dare anyone criticise her for making the best of what she was given and providing a sound future for her children.
She raised awareness for cervical cancer, she earned her own money, and she built a foundation for her children which meant that they can escape the kind of prejudice that she has being subjected to by some of the hateful people in the world.
I understand that there are other people suffering, but if this gives even a few of them the courage to go forth and do what they need to do and be honest about the future, then I say great.

I'd do the same if I was in Jade Goody's position
Jade's made life a bit more bearable for people like me

“I think people started getting irritated after the wedding when the publicity went on and on and on. Unfortunately that showed a side to her that was self centred and in need of maximum exposure right to the end. The pictures of her on stretchers unable to stand were unnecessary as were the details of her failing organs (her publcist needed to stop THEN) but it was all in need of headlines. That undid any good done by the Cancer Awareness and made it just undignified and greedy. I am really sad that she died though...or had pain....poor baby.”

“E.B... Stoke, can I pull you up on one point there dude,Max Clifford made very little, if any money at all out of this. In fact he got involved as he had lost his wife though cancer, and felt the need to help Goody, but he still tryed to come out smelling of roses, and got a bit of a name again.”
