(April 1) - Jade Goody, the British reality star who passed away in March from cervical cancer, wrote her two sons a final letter before her death, telling them: "I will love you always."

The Daily Mail reports that Goody created a photo album containing hundreds of pictures of herself and her children, with a foreward reading: "Dear Bobby and Freddie - I have asked for this book to be made so that when you are older, you can remember just how much fun we had. I thank God that we made the most of our time together and I treasure the moments we shared."

The letter to Goody's sons Bobby, 5, and Freddie, 4, continues, "These are my most precious memories. Some person much wiser than me once said that if you never discovered something you would die for, then you haven't lived. Well, you are both proof that I have lived. I will love you always. Mummy."

The touching letter precedes pages of photographs showing Goody's rise to reality TV fame, as well as pictures of the family vacationing in Abu Dhabi, fishing, and splashing in a stream in Wales. The book was published on Monday and is being sold to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care. 'Remember Me This Way' is expected to be a bestseller.

Goody's sons are currently in Australia with their father Jeff Brazier, in a move aimed to keep the boys out of the public spotlight. Her letter implores Brazier, as well as husband Jack Tweed and her mother, to raise the boys together. She tells her children: "I know that with the help of nanny Jackiey, Jack and daddy Jeff you will turn into fine, upstanding young men."
