Words are in sufficient for a gargantuan human being that Jane Thomlinson was .
I am sure her unbelievable courage has been an inspiration for so many fellow sufferers of this terrible disease.
Our thoughts must go to her family - Their loss is immeasurable .

RIP Jane

What a nice message, there are a few on here, like myself, that have been touched with cancer so Jane's strength and courage, like Lance Armstrong's (you really should read his book) was a shinning light. God bless.
Her family should be so proud.

She lived her final years with dignity, I admire anyone who grasps the last of life as she did .............. how many of us waste days - when we think we have plenty?

Amazing woman. Really sorry to see she's gone. A woman who got up off her backside and did something - she should be an inspiration to us all.

What a lovely thing to say about someone. I'm touched.

Her husband Mike and children Suzanne, Rebecca and Steven said they were heartbroken but "honoured to have been blessed with such a wonderful person".

I was distraught to hear that news today. I had the utmost respect for her grit and determination and for all the work she did to raise so much money for cancer research.

If there ever was an example as to how to ignore one's own serious problems and to devote one's life to trying to save others in the future, this is a shining example. Such a totally unselfish person.

I was so much hoping that she would beat this terrible disease and I am so sorry to hear that it has finally claimed her life.

She will live in people's memories for years to come.

many of the feats she put her body through couldnt be accomplished by many "healthy" people, never mind a courageous woman with terminal cancer.

she is an inspirational woman, and i believe she will and should be remembered as such.

i think we should celebrate her achievements though adversity and not mourn her passing as such.

well done her for making the most of her last few years, and also being a tremendous mother and wife.
