Meet Angie...

This is Angie... (On the right) She's my cousin (My Mom's Niece). Angie and I spent endless hours together in our teen years and have a special bond - we refer to each other's mothers as "Mom" and no one could convince us otherwise, we're sisters in every sense of the word.
When Angie heard her second Mom was diagnosed with cancer she joined the battle and agreed to cut her hair in honor of Mom to donate to Locks of Love. She decided on March / April as the goal to do it so there would be plenty to donate.

Tonight was the night... Here's Angie outside of JC Penny's before the "Big Chop".

That's a whole lotta hair!

Meet Amber... this is our cousin Pete Boyle's wife! She was totally game to cut all 15 inches of Angies hair off.

There it Goes!

And the best picture of the bunch... I can't imagine what the people on the bus must have thought when I literally burst into a fit of laughter when I saw this picture. My Mom is a riot!

You're getting there Mom... just a few more inches :)

Here's Amber & Angie showing off their finished product

This one also made me laugh... you girls are having way too much fun!

And she looks stunning...

What a HUGE difference!

I really can't even begin to explain how my heart swells with love and pride of my family looking at these pictures.
To Amber, thank you for taking the time to make a difference, pose for pictures and make my Mom Smile.
To Mom, you take things with such great humor. I am so proud of you and every step you've made, and every smile you've brought with you.
To Angie, I'm overwhelmed with tears when I see what you've done to support my Mom. I can't imagine a better way. This is so huge and I thank you for bringing that smile to my Mom's face from the bottom of my heart.
These are the ways we fight cancer... together... because, Bald is beautiful and Dianne's battle is our battle!
