"Dar's ponytail, donated to "Locks for Love"

Yesterday Sue Gillen, owner of Sue Gillen's Salon and Day Spa and a former patient of Kentfield Rehab Hospital graciously cut and styled Dar's hair.
Eleven months ago Sue had a non malignant brain tumor removed and did her rehab at Kentfield. When I met Sue and she told me her story it was another examples of the miracles and success at Kentfield.
When contacted by my sister Sue volunteered to "pay it forward" and cut and style Dar's at no charge. Another small miracle in Dar's Recovery.
I have not talked to Sue as yet but Stewart tells me by way of "texting" that Dar still has two small ponytails. As I said before Dar's hair was donated to Locks for Love with the exception of a small piece wrapped in ribbon for me.
I think it would be great that if you feel so inclined that a short email to Sue, suegillen2@comcast.net, would be a great way for us to thank her for her gracious act. Sue does not know Dar, she did not know me until recently and was still gracious enough to "give " of her time to someone in need.
Isn't this truely what being "free" is all about. With all the troubles we all face everyday there are still those (angels) willing and able to step up and forward for the sake of those in need. To help the those they don't even know just because they care and maybe just maybe they want to "pay it forward".
Thank you Sue, you are truely an angel, as are so many following Dar's Recovery, thank you all.
A short note to Sue, maybe a visit if you are in the area, maybe just a short prayer of thanks to the man upstairs for this special person that was given another chance at life and wants to pass it on and live life to the fullest. Again Sue, thank you, I will be in touch. Live life to the fullest.
I will post again tonight as I learn more of Dar's new doo.
Have a wonderfull day everyone
Danny
