Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Helen Louise Michael Armstrong joined her family in heaven on February 28, 2013. She fought a long courageous battle with Alzheimer’s. She was born June 21, 1923 to Leroy and Cleta Michael in Hamilton, Missouri. As a young woman she moved to Kansas City, Missouri and worked at Montgomery Wards. She married Gerald Vaughn Armstrong in 1945. She enjoyed being a homemaker. Her hobbies included being a seamstress, cooking and quilting. She also enjoyed being outdoors to garden with flowers and vegetables. She was so proud of her Irish/Indian heritage and studied family genealogy. Spending time with her family was her greatest joy. Surviving to honor her memory are her daughters, Linda Copeland of Kansas City, Missouri and LouAnn Yacoub of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, three grandsons Gary (Beth) Copeland of Greenwood, Missouri, Scott Copeland and Patrick Copeland of Kansas City, Missouri, two brothers Robert Michael of Hamilton, Missouri and William Michael of Galesburg, Illinois. Helen was preceded in death by her parents, husband, brothers and sisters, and most recent, her youngest daughter Lora Lea Armstrong. She will be greatly missed by her family. Services are pending in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Momma, its been a day since you left. My heart is broken and feels so empty. I know you can see again and walk. Your memory is back for all the good things that you had. I know you and LoraLea are having a wonderful time together, Save us all a place we will be together in Gods time. I love you always and forever momma.
To my wonderful friends Gary and Beth…I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words that I can say that will make you feel better. Just know that I love you and am thinking about you and will be here if you need me. Prayers are being said for you and your family.
Hi Momma, cant believe its almost been a year since you left. Not a single day passes that my heart does not ache without you physically here with us. It has indeed been a long and difficult year, and the winter has not helped at all. I did see a robin this week amidst the cold and snow. That gave me great hope for spring and of course the robin draws me even closer to your everliving spirit. I even heard birds singing this week, which is your love song to us, well me especially. I will write again very soon when your 1st birthday in heaven comes in a week.always and forever your girl, I love you momma! LouAnn
