A true pioneer for the good has passed away -- she had fair trade in mind before it became fashionable -- may she rest in peace.......

I'm genuinely shocked to read this - she must have been pretty young.

oh my Goodness, I'm shocked too!
Blimey
My missus thinks she's great, I'll have to let her know.
Rest in peace indeed.

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

Roddick died suddenly of a major brain haemorrhage around 6.30pm on September 10, 2007, having been admitted to St Richard's Hospital, Chichester, the previous evening suffering from a severe headache . |

There are times when you are genuinely sorry for posting a thread -- because it will cause controversy or invoke counter emotive replies -- it was not my intention, I was really sorry about her passing -- please accept my apology. It won't happen again.

Never really a fan of her brand. Her activism and enthusiasm was clearly something to be respected, in fact when you see how much change and influence one persons aspirations can exact; you cant help but feel a little inadeqaute with your own day to day life.

She got Hep C from a blood transfusion in the 70s (I believe) and it's been a ticking time-bomb ever since. She only found out a few years ago.

There's no controversial posts on here are there? I think most people will feel the same. |

I saw the news and was going to post a thread about it too. 64 pretty young these days - and she seemed to be a decent person who'd obviously achieved a hell of a lot, without crapping over other people in the process.
