Maple Grove Arboretum - Maple Grove, MN - Angel of Hope Statues on Waymarking.com

The Maple Grove Christmas Box Angel of Hope is located in the Maple Grove Arboretum, just north of County Road 30 at 9400 Fernbrook Lane. A grieving grandmother, Rosemarie Rosengren, donated the angel in memory of her grandson Andrew. Rosemarie wanted to leave a memorial where mourning parents and families could find a place of solace. This angel was dedicated on May 6, 2001.

Each year a candlelight memorial is held at the Angel of Hope statue on December 6th at 7:00 p.m. The public is invited to attend this short, simple secular ceremony. Candles are provided, and attendees are invited to bring a white flower to leave at the base of the statue in memory of loved ones.

The statue is also surrounded by an engraved brick courtyard, filled with Memorial paver bricks that are still available for purchase.
