Belleville Angel of Hope
The Belleville Angel of Hope Statue is located in Bellevue Park and is there to honor our children’s
memories. The beautiful Angel of Hope statue has outstretched arms & wings inscribed “Angel of
Hope—Our Children Loved, Missed and Remembered”. It stands atop a granite pedestal which is lit
throughout the night. The Belleville Angel is the 10th Angel in the U.S.
To honor our children’s memories a memorial wall & walkway have been established. The wall extends
around the back of the statue on two sides. The paver walkway is at the base of the wall. Future
landscape stones will be added along the trail path. Beautiful shade & ornamental trees in conjunction
with deep green evergreens set off this area. The statue & surrounding area is intended to be a place of
peace for all bereaved parents, grandparents, relatives & friends.
