	For Jane to have been given the gift of extra life, was not wasted, she raised so much awareness, and money for a really good cause, well done Jane. As for the nasty remark posted on the BBC web site, well my B-i-L was given 2 years max to live, he had Lukimia, almost 6 years later he died, I feel that he was given that extra time, because he met some one he loved, and who loved him back, he was a gent in a million, and went on to meet his maker with love all around him, god bless.

	I knew what you were saying, Catherine. Every forum has it's share of trolls, I saw your remarks as tongue in cheek. Gwynne

	PP I personally think that you are making more of Caherine's comment than is necessary! I've met her and she doesn't have a nasty bone in her body! You have to admit that you have seen worse comments made! xx

	I know full well what you meant Catherine and agree there are some nasty people posting here sometimes but don't see it is necessary to put it on this thread. Liz

	with the sickness I have seen on GR over the years Catherine I can't say I disagree with your comment! But still Jane was an amazing woman that doesn't deserve the comments of this indivdual! xx

	i think liz you have mis read my comment i am refering to the person that said the nasty remark about jane tomlinson being a gr (said in my own sarcastic light hearted way) member not jane tomlinson herself, if you read the original post, then my remarks it makes sense to me. i haven't had any other complaints. catherine

	Jane Tomlinson was an amazing gritty lady who pushed herself to her limits and beyond to raise awareness and funds for cancer research or similar, so doesn't deserve any nasty comments, but there will also be jealous people and misguided ones who can't just be thankful that there are people like Jane around. Catherine, I have to say I think your remark is uncalled for. Liz

	What a nice lady..... NOT. That poor girl worked so hard to make some money for cancer research, God must have wanted her to have that extra time. Sorry for anyone who disagrees, but I think she was a wonderful lady. Deanna X

	Thanks Dawnie, I've just been on the BBC website thingy and added a tribute from myself and my family. :-) Jane WAS the lady I was thinking of. I'm disgusted at those individuals sending her hate mail. :-(((( As I said in my comment on the website, our loss is Heaven's gain. x
