Robin Armstrong

There are no words to express how deep the pain in my heart is right now. I have many fond memories of you, and I. The one I will cherish the most is seeing you last month, feeding you, and coming to terms that it would be the last time I would see you, and kiss that bald head of yours. I consider it an honor to have had you as an uncle. I LOVE YOU UNCLE MICHAEL!
