Lolly Rose's Message
From the Desk of Our Founder/Executive Director Lolly Rose
It is with deep eternal and personal “Angel” honor that I proudly dedicate this newsletter in loving memory of my Mom, Lorraine Justman. She was one of our very first Angel volunteers, preparing “thinking of you” gift baskets at the inception of our Uplifting Angels visits. She was unequivocally my biggest fan and cheerleader.
Mom was truly an inspiration in my life and in making Angel On My Shoulder everything it was meant to be and more. She was a witness through her actions to the importance of people and their needs. Mom loved them, and they loved her back. Her giving and caring spirit emulated compassion, faith and hope–touching many hearts and lives along the way.
Like all of our Angel On My Shoulder volunteers who go above and beyond, she gave of herself, sharing our passion for helping those in need.
Mom showed me that a major part of joy in life is expressing gratitude and to that end, I and Angel On My Shoulder proudly acknowledge all of our fabulous “Angel” volunteers. They generously open their hearts and schedules to give time and energy to help others.
Volunteers are shining stars and come to you on Angel’s wings…
In wisdom God looked around one day, and thought, “There’s much to do”. Then placed within the hearts of some the need to see it through.
Across the Earth I’ll place each group and let them choose at will, the mission they hope to dignify and then I’ll grant them skill.
Finally, I’ll need a name, one word that will prevail to indicate their valued role and all it will entail.
To stand for Helper, Friend and Angel, and always, ever near. Let it be known till the end of time, the word is VOLUNTEER!!!!! (author unknown)
As you journey through this website, you will discover why we are truly blessed to walk side-by-side with these phenomenal volunteers who graciously give of their time, talents and knowledge to be there with us to bring peace and hope to those living with or affected by cancer.
We humbly and gratefully salute each and every one of them. Their genuine and tireless efforts, along with their enormous commitment to our mission, does not go unnoticed. We couldn’t do it without them.
Take care and God bless,
Lolly Rose
