Our Mom ( my step mom) had Bacterial Meningitus. I have found a great web site- that has some wonderful people who are willing to reach out and give you the shoulder you may need, the ear to hear you speak, the confirmation in your story - about how meningitus has affected you.
http://www.meningitis-angels.org/ Please take a moment and read their stories, the person who created this website-Frankie, lost her only child, Ryan- at 18 years old. With the help of our family- I hope to post...

You can only have one mother,
Patient, kind and true;
No other friend in all the world,
Will be the same as you.
When other friends forsake you,
To mother you will return.
For all her loving kindness,
She asks nothing in return.
As we look upon her picture,
Sweet memories we recall-
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all.
Sweet Jesus, take this message,
To our dear mother up above.
Tell her how much we miss her-
And give her all...

Well mom, what can I say, other then I love you and miss you like crazy. You were my everything. No matter what the problem was you were always there to give advice or to just listen when I needed to vent. Now my life is so empty... My daily ride to work talking to you all the way and laughing about the things Nathan did the day before and what he did just in the little time he was there that day... sitting at work and getting an email that made me laugh or a picture of what you were doing...

dear gram,
you took me in like a grandson, was able to talk to you when i needed it. you were understanding, caring, everything a grandma should be. you would help me out with any problem that i would have whether it be family issues, love, and life problems you had the answers to everything. i am proud more than anything to call you my grandma, very proud. you leaving us was way too soon, and it would make you proud that me and joey are great friends again. there is never a day...

I honestly dont even know how to start but here goes. I've basically spent the past 3 years almost everyday with my grandma. Ever since i got pregnant with Genevieve grandma was my safe haven. We grew a great and special relationship in that time. I've learned so much from her. I love her character, kindness, and no matter how much i've disappointed her (and many others) she has always smiled at me and gave me advice, talked to me, forgave me. I look up to her and idle her very much. Im lost...

What can I say that has not already been said. I had the priveldge of being Judy's sister-in-law for 24 years. She always was excepting of others and as my husband said at her funeral, she never had a bad word to say about anyone. Judy always had an encourageing word to say and it always seemed like when I had a bad day I would get one of her cute e-mails to remind me she was thinking about me. I have laughed with her, cried with her and believed when things seemed impossible. I will...

Russ,
So sorry to hear about Judy, Becky and I will keep you and all your family in our prayers.

It was so hard for Fred and me to hear of Judy's passing. She was one of the sweetest and kindest people that I knew. I know that she will be missed by all of her friends and family.

Judy was truly an amazing lady, she will be deeply missed by all.
