I did contemplate a serious reply to this, but as I don't have an internet persona to don or a bandwagon to jump on I'll refrain.

I was being serious. No persona or bandwagon needed.

In that case you must've misunderstood that by "memories" I meant personal and private memories and not the public face of their mother, right?

Is there anything of her life that hasn't been splashed all over the media?

Such a shame that if this had to happen, that her kids weren't older so they would have more memories of their mother to cherish.

I believe that her sons are aged five and six?

To be honest, I suspect that they would soon have had no real memory of her except for her fame and the absence of anything approaching a father figure to take over from her.

her sons are 4 and 5 and I am sure the family will keep her in her childrens hearts with lots of memories personal and they have her reality shows on dvd I believe as she wanted it as a video diary to look back on
She will not be forgotten by her children and their father will also make sure of that

Probably not a great deal, but there are other people who have had similar exposure to the media and if I chose to read it all it still wouldn't qualify me to say I knew them.
When you think about families and, in particular, the children of "celebrities" it's obvious that what's important to them is the private time they shared as the public side of that person is there for all to see. JG's children are quite young and probably won't remember much of that side of their mother when they get older and that is, in my opinion, a shame.

How can you remember how much one of your parents love you from a TV interview or a magazine photoshoot? You can't. You remember that with memories of opening christmas presents with them, or making a birthday card for them and watching their face when they open it. It's the small stuff that counts.

They've always been in touch with their biological father and IIRC he's getting custody.....although I may be wrong on this.

yes I agree and her children will remember the little things sadly they will always remember her being very poorly and always remember the day "the angels took her to heaven" I am sure that they have lots of happy memories that they shared when she wasn't so ill.
