Bob was my great uncle and the last surviving member of the Kate and Jay Armstrong family. His sister Kathryn was my Grandmother. I will always remember Uncle Bob for his love of baseball. My condolences go to Aunt Susan, Cousin Morgan, Ward and family.

To the Armstrong family,

While I may not personally know you all, my heart goes out to each of you. When death separates family members, such great loss can result in deep sorrow. God’s Word tells us: “Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you.” (James 4:8) One of the principal ways to draw close to God is through prayer. Do not underestimate its value! In addition God's Word assures us: “Throw your burden upon the Lord and he himself will sustain you.” (Psalm 55:22)
