Josita, Mrs. Armstrong and family:

I was saddened to hear of your loss. I lost my mom earlier in the year.

I remember Mr. Armstrong, because he painted my house pink one time. He told me years later, when he came to give me another estimate that I should have told him it was the wrong shade! I was clueless. I thought once he had a good start and I discovered it was not what I wanted, it was too late. Anyway, I was young and . . . !

May he rest in peace and may you remember the good times.

Josita, hope to see you at our next reunion, if not sooner.

Being a long time friend of the family, this is truly heartfelt. May God strengthen you in this time of sorrow.
Always Loving You,
