The Waterbury TCF Chapter participated in bringing the Christmas Box Angel to the Newington, Connecticut area. The statue was erected in memory of all children who have died. Former Governor Rowland's Offical Statement proclaimed October 13, 2002 a 'A Day of Remembrance and Mourning' for individuals and families who have suffered the terrible loss of a child.

     The angel is based on the book 'The Christmas Box', written by Richard Paul Evans. For more information visit the Richard Paul Evans website. For a complete listing of other angel statue locations across the country click here.
