Several Woodbury residents who have suffered the loss of a child are collaborating with the City of Woodbury and Woodbury Community Foundation to create a place of remembrance, solace and peace in their honor.

The Angels of Hope Memorial Woodbury is an everlasting tribute that helps our hometown heal when the most difficult tragedy, that of losing a child, occurs.

The Angel of Hope is inspired by the book, The Christmas Box, by Richard Paul Evans. The book lovingly tells of a mother’s grief and how her eventual solace over the loss of her child resulted from her frequent connection with “The Christmas Box Angel” as it is referred to in the book.

The Angels of Hope Memorial-Woodbury is being created to honor all children, like Natalie and Andra, who have passed too soon. The memorial angel is intended to be a place of peace that provides a tranquil environment to reflect, remember, and connect with our children forever.
