Lauren

When Christian was sick lots of people asked me how I knew it was meningitis and that he needed to go to the ER. The reason I knew anything about meningitis, and what to watch for, is because of my beautiful cousin Lauren. Lauren contracted bacterial meningitis and passed away 8 years ago. She was only 17. 
Dec 4, 1983 - March 18, 2001
Her death educated me on the risks of meningitis. And even though Christian is fine, I am so grateful that we were able to get him treated quickly.
And it's because of her.

it just goes to show you that our guardian angels, in this case lauren, are watching out for us.
