     For the past 2 weeks, we've been asking you to send in pictures of your mom so we could surprise her with a makeover just in time for Mother's Day.
     Thanks to you we've gotten plenty of submissions, and now we've picked our lucky mom.
     She is Gail Cambio of Warwick and she looks like a million bucks after a free day of pampering at Grace's Hairscapes and Spa in Cranston.
     Gail's step-daughter Brandie sent in the winning essay.
     Brandie says that after her own mom passed away years ago, Gail stepped in and has stuck with her family ever since.
     Gail has also recently lost her brother and her son, and her other step-daughter is in the Air Force, about to be shipped overseas.
     Her family says she definitely deserves this day of beauty.
     ABC 6 reporter Julie Ruditzky has the story...

Gail!!! You look so beautiful. We were so excited for you when we read that you won this contest. How nice your girls made this happen for you! You so deserved it. I'm sure it made Georgie smile from above! I hope you are enjoying this mother's day. Tell Eric we said hello. And give Bud a hug for me :-) Love you, Kelly Adams - Warwick
