The name of "My Grief Angels" was inspired by the "Angel of Grief" statue at Stanford University. The "Angel of Grief" is hidden in a small grove surrounded by eucalyptus, palm & oak trees, near the intersection of Arboretum Road and Quarry Drive. "Good From Grief": Stanford University was created from the grief of parents over the loss of their only child. Leland & Jane Stanford established the institution as a memorial to their child, Leland Stanford Jr., who died in 1884 at age 15. The Stanfords decided to dedicate their wealth and property to creating a university to help "other people's children" rather than retiring in their grief.

The Stanford Daily - "The Angel Weeps" : "Nestled off of Quarry Drive and Arboretum Road on the grounds of Stanford University, an angel weeps amongst the trees...She kneels, draping herself over the altar of the dead, wings buckling with the weight of savage sobs that cannot be contained. Head bowed, broken at being left behind"
