So sad. Was not a fan when she was just another reality TV star, but kind of felt the need to defend her in the end against all the critics of her making her cancer battle public.
She increased the number of cervical smear tests by over 30% following her diagnosis and subsequent public awareness campaign and for all those that criticised her decision to keep making money from it, I don't think any of us can do that. She did all the she knows to do in order to secure a future for her boys, so more power to her for that.

I think she'll be remembered as a very brave woman and quite rightly so. I think it's already been documented that three young women that had smear tests as direct result of Jades publicity are now being treated for the same cancer, so that's potentially three lives that she's saved already.

Rest in peace Jade x

A shame to die so young. RIP

Sorry if I offend anyone but spare a bigger thought for all the women who dont have access to the unparralled respite care and the income she has generated whilst being terminally ill but also are having to face upto dying knowing their children dont have the security when they are gone.

Again apologies if it offends but some families out there are facing the same problem on tougher grounds.

My thoughts are for the children and their future.

I think you can be both sorry for Jade's boys and family, and spare a thought for others. My sister in law died aged 36, leaving two young children-she had plenty of money, but sadly it didn't make a difference to her outcome.

Last year I took part in the breast way round-http://www.justgiving.com/breastwayround raising over £27,000 in the end for Macmillan Cancer Care- designed to help people who struggle financially after a cancer diagnosis.

Anyway, RIP Jade, I'm glad you are out of pain- I think you did a fabulous job at raising the profile of cervical cancer, and making testing a priority for people.

The whole discussion about her making money being "selfish" as termed by others has been covered in other threads, let this one just be a malice and disagreement free thread eh?

At least she's at peace now, and going in her sleep is by far the better way to go. Her poor little lads losing their mum on Mothering Sunday RIP Jade.
