Description

Join us for a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the completion of the Christmas Box Angel of Hope.    

The Christmas Box Angel of Hope program was inspired by the novel "The Christmas Box" by Richard Paul Evans, which tells the story of a couple who mourn the loss of their daughter and find solace at an angel statue in a park. The book struck a chord with many readers and led to the creation of Angel of Hope memorials across the United States.

The Angel of Hope statues have become symbols of hope and healing for those who are grieving the loss of a child. They offer a physical place where families can go to honor and cherish the memories of their children, finding comfort in the shared experience of loss and remembrance with others who visit the site.

Restlawn Memorial Park is proud to add this memorial to our community. This memorial will serve as a lasting tribute to the lives of children who have passed away, providing a place of peace and reflection for families and individuals to come together in remembrance and solidarity.

The public and media are invited to attend.  

Ribbon cuttings and groundbreakings are held at member investor facilities that have celebrated one of the following successes:

• Broke ground or opened a new facility
• Moved to a new location
• Remodeled an existing facility
• Welcomed new ownership
• Underwent a significant re-branding or name change

For planning purposes, RSVPs are requested for this event.
