Diane edited The Angel Tales: Refuge for a Parent's Healing Heart by author Deneene Jo Florino. This book chronicles the stories about eleven of the Angel of Hope statues that grieving parents have brought to their cities and towns after reading The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans, # 1 New York Times Best-Selling Author. Richard Paul Evans has endorsed The Angel Tales.

The following are excerpts from The Angel Tales.

An Angel's Kiss – Albion, IL & Evansville, IN

"This story is about two young adults, both in their sixteenth year of life, who were tragically killed in car accidents—both taken long before their time. The teenagers lived just sixty miles apart, but had never laid eyes on each other; they existed in two completely different worlds. . . . Yet, the two share a common thread, an extraordinary similarity that I believe should be shared with you, the reader: an experience that most certainly was kissed by an angel."

The River – Rockford, IL

"The angel remains there, season after season keeping watch over the river, waiting and anticipating the arrival of spring and the visitors to come. . . . I could see with a vivid eye everything around me being reborn. The angel seemed to be smiling, knowing to herself the unveiling about to happen under her watch. During the warm months that follow this rebirth, mothers, fathers, grandparents, sisters, and brothers will visit her in droves, leaving memorial poems, flowers, stuffed animals, and pieces of their hearts and souls."
