A Story of HopE
Christmas Box Angel of Hope Children's Memorial
A beautiful replica of The Christmas Box Angel of Hope, inspired by the book The Christmas Box stands in a serene setting in Silver Springs Cemetery. The Christmas Box, became a best selling book which lovingly told of a mother's grief and eventual solace over the loss of her child. The Christmas Box Angel of Hope was created by the author, Richard Paul Evans, and was first built in Salt Lake City. It has become a truly meaningful memorial to children all over the world.
Restoration 2026
See the Memorial's Restoration
This summer the City of Stow refurbished the Angel of Hope Children's Memorial. Every memorial brick was lifted and reset in its original location or as close to its original placement as possible on a new concrete base, with new landscaping and new sidewalks on the east and west sides so the memorial is easier to reach. Press play to see the work in progress.
An updated brick location list will be available soon to help families locate their memorial brick.
Stow, Ohio
A Peaceful Place
Due to the incredible passion and work of a group of dedicated bereaved parents, the Angel was brought to Stow, Ohio in 2001. The Christmas Box Angel of Hope Children's Memorial is a peaceful place for grieving parents whose children have died, before or after birth, to mourn, heal, and remember their beloved children. It has also given parents, family, and friends an opportunity to connect with one another and share their grief as they visit the memorial.
