alexander was born on the 22nd July 2005,fit and healthy.At 19 weeks old he woke early one morning,which was very unusual so we took him to the hospital.After various tests he was deemed to be fine,probably just got a virus so we left at 9am. By 2pm he was very sleepy and had the tell tale rash so we took him straight to the doctors.

A beautiful little boy.
His life was short, but full of meaning. He was, and is, a complete person.

He bought a lot of joy into our lives, and we have so many memories of him.

Tom was 2 years old when he was struck down with the meningococcal strain . Tom was the bravest happiest little man in the world and his dad's best friend and hero. A lovely dance partner for his mum and a playmate for his little sister, Molly.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.

Ellie mai was 8 weeks old when she contracted meningitis.She fought so hard for 7 days but sadly her fight for survival ended in tradgedy when doctors told us there was nothing more they could do for her and we had to make the most devastating decision any parent could make and that was to turn off her life support machines.
Rebecca was a very special little person. In her short life she gave so much joy and happiness and although her time with us came to an abrupt end just weeks before her first birthday we can remember her with everlasting love.
