Above is the whole family. Notice my brothers on the extreme sides. Barry is the one with the goofy grin and his hair was longer than everyone's but Colleen (squatting by the babies), Everett is the one with the beard. Pat is standing in the middle and his wonderful wife took all of these photos.
Mom was first, such a sad face. I think she cried just a little.
So what we did was each choose a fun outrageous hairdo first. Mom is a punk rocker...
There is the smile we were waiting for!
Dad has had a mustache for as long as I can remember. He was a brave little toaster and let Mom cut it off. Then Barry did a little Foo Man Choo on him.
This is me trying to do the Joe Biden, but looking more like a Benedictine monk.
We shaved Cancer Sucks into Patrick's head.
Everett did some extreme spikes
Colleen was Cyndi Lauper circa Girl's Just Wanna Have Fun/True Colors era.
And Candice's hubby Hutch even joined in the fun...
Barry wanted a Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek... look at his daughter's face looking at her daddy... priceless. Right after this she burst into tears.
What no one tells you is that this itches!!
Colleen the beauty queen with her one braid up front. Business up front, party in the back!
Colleen with her family right after. Brad was a sport about his wife losing her hair. Colleen looks great even bald, if I did not love her so much...
Barry looking so preeetty in a hat that Mom's friend Mirriam sent her.
Thanks Mirriam for the hats, they are so soft!!
The crew all bald now.
The crew plus Hutch, thanks for being a part of our fun Hutch!
Mom and Dad, seriously without a stache he looks 10 years younger!
Barry grabbed my head and asked if it felt like velcro...
It does....So that was our fun night... FHE can stand for more than Family Home Evening...

I am touched beyond words that your family would show such a great bond, love, and support for your mom. This must be so comforting to her to know that she's so very loved!
BTW, you all look awesome!
Holy Camoley! You people are good looking! Even without hair! That Miriam is a whiz with the hats, those are so cute. Mom looks so cute as a punk rocker.

This post is AWESOME! I love the fun hairdos (especially your Mom's!) and you guys actually look really good in the after pictures. I can't believe how different your Dad looks with out his mustache and how not different the rest of you look. What a great way to show your unity and courage. I love you guys! Good luck this week <3 <3 <3
Wow, it's not fair that all of you look so good without hair! I'm another who cried when I read this post. I think it's terrific that you are all so supportive of your mom. I have your family in my prayers.
I love you!

I always wonder what I would look like if I shaved my head.
You make me want to shave mine!
You guys look so great! I love your moms punk look! John was commenting that it has been a long time since he has seen Uncle Barry without a mustache! Hope thinks continue to go well. Love to you all! Candy and John

This makes me cry! I'll be thinking of you for the next couple of days! I hope the chemo isn't totally miserable. I'm sure with support like this, she'll get through it! Love you!
