    Hi Karen! I was wondering if we'd be seeing you on this site. :) I actually emailed you not too long ago wondering if I could get a vacuum wig without having my head completely shaved (I know better now). I actually decided to go nice and cheap for my very first wig and got a synthetic one. I love it, but really I don't know if I'll end up being a wig person. I just feel so much more comfortable in a bandana. LOL. Oh well we'll see how things go. Anyway, it's good to see you here. You are such an amazing woman and I hope you know how much everyone loves you for touching so many people's lives.

    Hugs,
    Mandy
