Jade Goody plans her own funeral with Marmite joke
Thursday, 9 October 2008
Jade Goody has started planning her own funeral.
The reality TV star joked that she should have a wreath in the shape of a Marmite jar -- because she is either loved or hated.
Goody has also cut her hair to a short crop in preparation for chemotherapy, saying: "I'm going to look like a boiled egg!''
The former Big Brother contestant, who has been given a 50-50 chance of survival, said that without the course of radiotherapy and chemotherapy she would be dead by Christmas.
She told OK! magazine: "It (the haircut) makes me feel less of a woman. But I don't want to wake up one morning and find clumps of hair all over my bed.''
She added: "Most people plan their weddings. But I'm planning my funeral.
"Some people say they don't want people crying, but I want people to cry over me!
"And I don't want anyone to have a booze up when I'm dead! They should have a cup of tea and be crying! I'd want to have an open funeral and let everyone who wanted to come along.''
The mother of Bobby (5) and Freddy (3) said she would never allow the event to be filmed on TV, telling the magazine: "I know I have lived most of my life in front of the cameras, but that would be sick.''
She said: "I've never been a God person, but now I pray every time I go to bed and say stuff like: 'Let me see my children grow'.''
Goody was on the Indian version of Big Brother when she discovered she had cervical cancer.
The Bermondsey-born star jetted home after show producers called her to the diary room to break the devastating news.
She had to undergo a hysterectomy after learning her cancer had spread to her womb.
"If there's one thing I would look forward to about dying it's that I'd want to be looking down on my family and continue to be part of their lives.''
She added: "I'd never wish this on anyone. Not even Bin Laden, not that he has a womb.''
She said: "I want to be remembered for being someone who had loads of ups and downs.
"I want to be the girl who p****d people off and made them laugh.
"Maybe at my funeral someone could send me a wreath in the shape of a Marmite bottle with the words underneath, 'you either loved her or hated her'.''

Jade u are very beatiful.You see,in the face of hopelessness that is when God manifest Himself. Just believe and confess Him that is all He requires from you.Then continue to speak positive over yourself (body).I am born again christian, and I discovered that with God all things are possible.Psalm23 is not for the dead but for the living.Psalm 91 is not for the dead but for the living.I know millions of people are praying for u, please embrace it by speaking possitive to your situation.You will live to see your children's children in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ,you will be an over come by the Word because the price has been paid, Isaiah 53;5. You will led many to Christ.DON'T be ashame to accept Christ and He will deliver by the help of the Holy Spirit. It doe'st matter what anybody says or report,what you say that agrees with word of God that matter.website

I cannot quite comprehend how you must be feeling Jade. Knowing what is coming. I am not a church person but recently I have been praying for you and your beautiful boys. You are such a wonderful person and mother and I have always followed your ups and downs but never judged. You are funny and entertaining and so natural. What you see is what you get!! You are the best and I wish you so much love and luck for your wedding on Sunday and pray with all my heart that the medical team have got it wrong or a cure is found. You deserve more than the little time you have been here and I so admire you for what you are currently doing for your boys. Take care dear courageous lady. J xxx

If you even read this jade i just want you to know what an inspiration you are. You have a heart of gold but a hard front like me! You have had me in tears of laughter, and i don't want you to leave me in tears of sadness. keep your chin up, you are an amazing woman and if you stay strong and positive i'm sure that it will be easier for you. I think the world of you and your children are so lucky to have a mum like you. Have a fantastic wedding and keep smiling. You are beautiful and have so much courage. God bless xx

Jade, you have tugged at my heartstrings. You are being so brave and I have total admiration for the way you are handling yourself. My mum was in the Marsden, so I know it well. I have no doubt that when the time comes you will be enveloped with love from all of those special people you have previously loved and gone before you. Have a wonderful wedding day, I'm sure you will be a glowing bride. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. With love. xx

God Bless you Jade, we remembered you in our prayers on Sunday (15th) and will continue to do so when we have our services, you are such a brave lady. Enjoy every moment of
your wedding. Remember the power of prayer, my cousin was
given three weeks to live when he was 17 well he made it to 21
miracles do happen.
God Bless you and your family. Gay-Teresa Lowe

Jade I am a muslim and my heart is with you and your friends and family. I too look after a terminally ill child and she has faced death so many times but has bounced back! It is so unpredictable! However my faith has made me strong and at a time like this rememberance of God, to seek his forgiveness and guidance does help relieve some of the pain! For he has created us and to him we all shall return! Hey if you convert to Islam you will die sinless and be granted paradise! May God guide you and your family to the true path! Ameen!

Jade
If you read my note i want you to know all my thoughts and love are with you from me and my mum lynda. We have always supported you and been on your side through thick and thin.
Always remember there is a life after death, and you will be fine with passed loved ones and friends and your spirit will always live on. God bless you

This is for Jade..I was never a God person until 30 years ago and to get to God you onlyhave to accept Jesus christ into your heart, and mean it, Jade He is the healer today and you can read all about him while you still have time. He healed me of epilepsy angina nad delivered me from so much. You can get hold of many testimonies of what he has done in this century because he is alive. He defeated death and you can too. I pray you receive this as I believe God wants you to know how much he loves you he came to give you life and that more abundantley. God bless you

To the poster before, banging on about Christ Embassy Healing School... I find your offer of healing to a terminally ill patient completely inappropriate !!
Sort your life out and stop promising hope to people that are ill and dying.
You are a disgrace, No wonder you signed annon, you should be ashamed!
