I have so much to say,but I dont know where to start. You have been in my life since I was a baby,you've watched me grow,fussed at me when I did wrong,hugged me whenever you saw me,when I would cry you would always tell me that it would be alright, to just keep praying,and you loved me when I needed to be loved. I called you grandmother because that is what you were to me. A beautiful,loving,strong, and kind woman that meant so much to me, you never backed down or sugar coated anything to me.You are why I became the successful woman that I am today. I just wish that you were still here to see. We will miss you, but I know you will be shining and sending your love down upon us all. We love you grandmother and please hold a space for me.

I have known The Armstrongs for a period of time. I came to know Mrs. Armstrong as Mother. Mother had a great sense of humor. Mother kept me laughing everytime I visit. I would like to say that Mother is going to be greatly miss. My all soul give praise. In Gods place are many mansions. Mother is going home to sing her praise. Mother will be "GREATLY MISS". With Love!!!

When we met, she was introduced as "Mother", and that is exactly who she was to everyone, a Mother. Mrs. Armstrong was a strong woman with a kind heart, who shared her love with friends, as well as her family. To the family, we would like to send our prayers and condolences and let you know that grief can't take away the fond memories you have shared with "Mother". Now she is just sitting by the lake with the Lord watching down on you.
