There are people that you meet and never give a second thought about.
Coach has been a part of my life since 1977 and will always remain with me.

Joan,
I understand your terrific loss. The silver lining is seeing the two great sons you and Coach Armstrong brought into the world.
They are the best of you both. Their voices echo the strength, intelligence, sensitivity and humor of their parents.
I loved watching the video. The world is a better place for having all of you in it.
I’ll keep you in my heart and prayers.
