Keepsake bracelet
'We knew before she even told us that she was pregnant with Mary,' said Breezy's Beads employee Deb Sallee. 'We could see it in her face. I think she told us before she told her husband, Dave.'
Mangold's fellow beaders also were among the first to learn that doctors discovered she had a lump in her breast in 2005, a month before she was due to give birth to Mary, who Davey nicknamed 'Flower.'
Doctors advised against radical cancer treatments to protect the baby. Following Mary's birth, a biopsy showed the lump was malignant and had spread to Mangold's lymph nodes.
She had surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, but her type of cancer was resistant to traditional forms of treatment.
It was during Mangold's first year of treatment that Tice, Sallee and four fellow beaders sat down and created a one-of-a-kind 'Wendi' bracelet to raise money for the 3-Day walk, which raises money for research in hopes scientists will find a cure for breast cancer.
'Wendi kept coming in here after chemotherapy,' Tice said. 'She had a short window between chemo and when the sickness would really hit her, so she would stop in here to bead. She had no hair and we teased her because she had a perfect-shaped head. She would make these really gaudy beaded earrings to wear to show off her head.'
'That was Wendi,' Sallee said
