Angel in Rockford

There's an Angel of Hope in a public park in Rockford, Illinois. According to the Rockford Park District website:

This four-foot bronze angel atop a granite base is inscribed, "Forever in Our Hearts. With hope in her wing, may anyone who has ever felt the loss of a child find this place to mourn and heal." The angel is inspired by the best-selling novel, "The Christmas Box" by Richard Paul Evans, and was purchased by a coalition of area hospitals and volunteers, spearheaded by the Rockford Memorial Development Foundation. The Angel of Hope is tucked into a quiet corner of Waterside Park, at East State Street and Water Streets in downtown Rockford.

I don't have time to do it myself, but perhaps someone could contact the Freedom From Religion Foundation to find out if they have taken action (or plan to take action) to get the Rockford angel removed from the public park?
