We’ll never know why certain things happen to people. We trust (at least I do) that there is a plan for it all, and that things happen for a reason. Sometimes when celebrities get saddled with disease it helps raise the issue for the rest of us. That certainly was the case for Jade Goody.

Jade was laid to rest today in England. She died March 22 at the very young age of 27 from cervical cancer. She was the subject of scrutiny and fascination for her often outrageous views. But in the last months of her life, she choose to have her private battle with cervical cancer filmed to help “raise money for the education of her two young sons.” In doing so she also educated the rest of us about the nastiness of cervical cancer.

Jade Goody, a British reality TV star, has died from cervical cancer. She was only 27.

Goody rose to fame as the sometimes impetuous gal from Big Brother, a reality show that films a house full of contestants as they try and live together. She joined the cast in 2002, and quickly gained popularity for her loud and sometimes abrasive ways.

She was evicted from the Big Brother house after an altercation with Shilpa Shetty, a Bollywood Actress. Later, she was invited by the Indian Tourism Office to come to India and even be on their version of Big Brother. It was on that show that she very publicly received her diagnosis of cervical cancer.

She died in her sleep early Sunday morning in her England home.
