The Oakwood Cemetery in Adrian announces the arrival of the Christmas Box Angel of Hope at Oakwood Cemetery in Adrian.  The monument is to be dedicated to the families who have lost a child to stillbirth, miscarriage or early infant death.
The statue was introduced to the work in the book of the Christmas Box, a worldwide bestseller and hit television movie by author Richard Paul Evans.  In the book, a woman mourns the loss of her child at the base of an angel monument.  Though the story is mostly fiction, the angel monument once existed but is speculated to have been destroyed.  The new angel statue was  commissioned by Richard Paul Evans, in response to reports that grieving parents were seeking out the angel as a place to grieve and heal.
Now the individuals and families in and around Lenawee County, who have been impacted by such a loss, will have a special place to remember their angels.
The community is invited to  the dedication on Sunday, Oct. 26 at 1 p.m. at Oakwood Cemetery.
