She was far from perfect, but at the end, she handled her death sentence with bravery and grace - and for that she deserves some recognition.

I think her kids will be proud of her - what they are most likely to find upsetting is the hate and nasty comments made by some people both on here and in general!

Did she not have an agent or marketing or did she do that all herself? If people think having no pretenses or airs and graces warrants making someone a celebrity or elevating a person above anyone else then I am afraid they are quite deluded in my opinion. Also most people do not have a choice to market their own deaths through the media. Bravery and grace do not come into it.

I dont know her kids but I suspect they will have been lined up for a ten year anniversary of her death tv program already. I doubt pride will be top of their thoughts when they see footage of people burning effigies of their mum do you?
