“They thought, ‘Wow, my mum’s a lifesaver!'”
Jeff Brazier has told of his sons’ favourite memories of their mum Jade Goody – and how he hopes to be able to keep her memory alive.
The dad of two said his sons Freddie, 12, and Bobby, 14, often remember their favourite memory from a family vacation where the reality TV star heroically managed to put out a fire.
And he plans to take them back there to feel a connection to their late mum.
He told the MailOnline:
“Their favourite memory is sadly one that I wasn’t a part of, but irrespective it was a very wonderful, heroic memory for them.
“They were in Trinidad and Tobago and somehow she put out a fire.
“They recall it very fondly how mummy was very quick to react to the fact that something was on fire and that she put it out.”
He added that the boys saw Jade as a “lifesaver” after the incident in 2007.

He continued:
‘They were young and very impressionable at the time and just thought that was the most incredible thing.
“They thought “Wow, my Mum’s a lifesaver, she’s a firefighter!”
“That’s probably their most valued memory.
“I’m gonna take them there one day and it will feel special because it was a place that’s very special to their mum.”
“Maybe they could take a stone from the beach and keep it in their pocket and think ‘this is my special stone’ from where Mummy was my hero. The value of that is immeasurable.”
