After Nearly 30 Years of Supporting Cancer Community in Wisconsin, Angel On My Shoulder Sunsets Foundation; Creates New “Angel Endowments” 😇

Following the heavenly transition of Dick Rose, who fought a courageous battle with cancer, the Rose family, led by his wife Lolly, created “Angel On My Shoulder.” For 28 years here in Wisconsin, the mission of this cancer support foundation has provided support to those living with or affected by cancer in most impactful and meaningful ways.

“Keenly aware of the strength of love, this foundation was created to ‘give
back’ through our mission of making a positive and profound difference to
individuals and families affected by cancer,” said Angel On My Shoulder
Founder and Executive Director, Lolly Rose. “In this spirit and with grateful
hearts after nearly 30 years, the Rose Family has sunsetted the foundation,
instead transitioning to a legacy of love through Angel endowments.”

Angel On My Shoulder will evolve with new opportunities available to continue their mission to support individuals, children and families on their cancer journeys. The family’s decision to “Pay It Forward” through newly established” “Angel Endowments” was made with faith, hope and genuine compassion for those in need.

Based on the high volume of referrals provided to us on an ongoing basis throughout Angel’s 28 years, along with the importance of statewide outreach, Angel On My Shoulder proudly names the following health care facilities as recipients of our endowments:

We are and always will be ‘Angel Family’ as we all should remember to ‘Celebrate Life.’”

Angel On My Shoulder was created in 1995 as a “Labor of Love”. We proudly celebrate how our cancer support foundation has grown throughout these twenty-seven remarkable years, providing support to those living with or affected by cancer in most impactful and meaningful
ways.

It is a great personal honor for me to open the door of my heart and pay tribute to the
memory of my husband, Dick Rose, the inspiration for Angel On My Shoulder. Following Dick’s heavenly transition after a courageous battle with cancer, I (along with our children) founded Angel On My Shoulder. Keenly aware of the strength of love, this Foundation was created to “give back” through our mission of making a positive and profound difference to individuals and families affected by cancer.

In that spirit and with grateful hearts, the Rose Family proudly announces that on August 14, 2022 (commemorating the day of Dick’s heavenly transition), we will gently “Sunset” Angel On My Shoulder and transition our mission created as a “Labor of Love” to a “Legacy of Love”.

Angel On My Shoulder will evolve into a beautiful “Sunrise” with new opportunities available to continue our mission to support individuals, children and families on their cancer journeys. Our decision to “Pay It Forward” through newly established” “Angel Endowments” was made with faith, hope and genuine compassion for those in need.

Based on the high volume of referrals provided to us on an ongoing basis throughout
Angel’s twenty-seven years, along with the importance of statewide outreach, Angel On My Shoulder proudly names the following health care facilities as recipients of our
endowments. Each endowment directly aligns with and will carry on Angel On My
Shoulder’s mission for many years to come. Each one designed to focus on Child Life
programs to benefit children and families affected by cancer. Other cancer support
needs (young and old) will be included.

We are beyond pleased that Angel On My Shoulder can continue to be a blessing to
others by providing these new opportunities to meet the needs of those navigating the
emotional and stressful world of cancer.

The year 2020 was challenging for everyone in different ways, but for Felecia it was the start of her cancer journey. As a single mother with two young children, she was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2020, right at the start of the pandemic. 🎗

Felecia and her family were “Embraced” by Angel Wings through a greatly needed bonding weekend. 😇 She told us that COVID had prevented her from being able to plan a getaway retreat to spend quality time with her young children before undergoing major surgery.

She said that although she could never take the fear from her kids after a long scary year of complications with more treatments scheduled, she was hoping to spend time with her family to relax and make new memories. 👩‍👧‍👦

Angel Wings “Embrace” was pleased to provide this family with their desired location retreat in Bayfield County for this purpose. Felecia was very grateful for the help and support from AOMS and their generous donors. It was exactly what the family had been looking for and needed at this stage in their cancer journey. 💛

Angel Wings granted “Enhanced” support to the Bordignon Family to fulfill their Rubber Duck “Give Back” Mission. 💛 We had received this request from a recipient of one of our AOMS ducks last summer that were caringly dropped from a bridge to those below by Board members and volunteers as an outreach mission to create awareness and support of Angel On My Shoulder. 😇 Angel Wings Enhance provided AOMS Rubber Ducks to this caring family so they could “give back” and honor their loved one in this very meaningful and special way. 🐤
Message from the DiFranco and Bordignon families:
“Last year, while vacationing in Minocqua, there was a family dropping down rubber ducks from the Bearskin Bridge. The ducks had “Angel On My Shoulder” printed on them. We too lost someone very special to cancer in 2020 and thought it would be great to do the same from the bridge when we go back to Minocqua this summer. 🎗
On Aug 1, 2021 the DiFranco and Bordignon families walked out to a bridge overlooking beautiful Lake Minocqua and dropped several rubber ducks into boats, spreading the message of "Angel on my Shoulder" charity. 🚤
We did this one year and two weeks after the loss of our dear brother, son, father, grandpa, husband and uncle, Dr. Charles DiFranco who passed away from complications from a brain tumor. Chuck was an incredible mentor to everyone, always giving of himself selflessly. 💓
Chuck was a Periodontist who took incredible care of his patients for almost 40 years. He was married to Kim, father to three sons and grandfather to seven. He loved being on the water and would have loved seeing our family, all together sharing his memory on that bridge. We felt him in spirit for sure and it was a tremendous healing experience for the entire family. 😊
A huge thank you to Nancy for helping us coordinate this day. We worked on it for a long time.
Love, The DiFranco and Bordignon families.”
