Well I don't know where to begin. I'm so sadden to hear of Armins passing! I have known Shirley & Arminian for many years and even became their house cleaner for a few years. They were family to me & when they moved I definitely felt the void but was so happy to know they were going back to be around their family! I've missed them both since they moved & am so sadden to hear this. However, he was an amazing man with such a legacy & wonderful stories & memories left behind & that I will always treasure & be forever grateful to have known him & will never forget our time together! My love & peaceful wishes to Shirley & all his loved ones missing him!
