Despite the horrible tragedy that befell Academy Award winning actress/singer Jennifer Hudson, Gap's going ahead with the Holiday campaign starring Hudson that she did before her family were so brutally murdered.

According to Eonline, Jennifer had the choice to back out of the campaign (which was shot in July), if she so desired.

Gap spokesperson Olive Doyne tells E that "She said she wanted to be a part of it and that we should move forward."

And on her MySpace page, Jennifer posted a short message to her fans yesterday, simply titled "Thank You All":

"I want to thank each and every one of you for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. My sister and I take great comfort and strength from your love and concern.jhud"
