Jade's sons make Mother's Day cards

Jade Goody's young sons have made hand-painted Mother's Day cards for her.

The 27-year-old reality TV star, who has terminal cancer, is spending her final days at home with her family.

According to newspaper reports, sons Bobby, five, and Freddy, four, made the cards to let their mother know they are thinking of her. A relative will deliver them to her Essex home.

Goody, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer last August, has been drifting in and out of consciousness in recent days as her mother Jackiey Budden and husband Jack Tweed keep a bedside vigil.

Publicist Max Clifford said the family have made no plans for Mother's Day.

He previously described Goody's condition as "very weak" but said she had "put her house in order".

Goody has told her sons, who are staying with their father, TV presenter Jeff Brazier, that she will soon be in heaven.

She spoke to them after leaving hospital last Thursday, saying: "Mummy's going to heaven soon.

"I'm going to be a star up in the sky so when you are looking up you will be able to see me and know I'm there, always looking over you.

"Mummy's going to be up there looking over you. Close your eyes and you can talk to me."
