Mother of past meningitis victim speaks (Fox 11-Milwaukee)

A dreary day in Jefferson was nowhere near as gloomy as a day more than six years ago now that keeps leading Gail Bailey back to Greenwood Cemetery.

“I’ll never forget that day as long as I live,” said Bailey. “My whole world ended.”

Her son Eddy was a junior at UW Madison. On a November weekend, he made a trip a friend’s football game in LaCrosse. Less than three days later, Eddy died of meningitis.
