Meet the woman turning wedding dresses into ‘angel gowns’ for infant funerals

A woman in Wisconsin is showing her support for grieving families by transforming donated wedding dresses into burial garments for infants.

Rock County-based Rosann Cassiopi opened up about her decade of crafting the garments, also known as angel gowns, during a recent interview with Spectrum News 1.
