unfortunately it took this heart wrenching tragedy to occur for the family and hopefully this will bring about exposure to other families when they see any out of the ordinary to help their loved one,it could have possibly been prevented.

i’m drenched in tears ,i feel so terrible that this has happened .those poor kids are so innocent.the stupid devil is always busy in innocent people minds.my heart feel for the ten year old when he said he should have told how to swim ,so so sad mein,i dont want to pass any judgement ,Ill be praying

There was a lot more going on in this poor, wretched, soul’s life than her man cheating on her. Millions of women have had men cheat on them and they don’t go out and kill their children. Perhaps she was just overwhelmed with the facets of her life just being too much for her. We can only guess and will never know, but it is beyond sad that the children had no one to fend for them.

ANGER AND SADNESS,,,FOR THOSE CHILDREN,,ARE THE FLOWER’S OF THE EARTH,,,I JUST CAN’T AND DON’T CARE TO UNDERSTAND WHY…SHE TOOK THE CHILDREN WITH HER…!!! TO SAY CHEATING!!! NO WAY!!! SHE ,,,CHEATED,,THOSE CHILDREN OUT OF LIFE!!

I kiss and hug my 4 children every day and when I read stories like this one I kiss and hug them even more.

This woman must have been in a desperate situation to do this. She was so young and raising 4 kids takes a lot of patience. May all of them rest in peace and may the Lord forgive her actions so that she can be in heaven with her angels.

nyc. mental illness is very difficult to admit to oneself and treat. Not making excuses for her, but hopelessness, no skill, no education, poor, at 15 a child having child. At 25, the responsibily of caring for 4 young kids. This can
really break you. I just hope that the surviving kid can get the kid of social
and family help that he will need.

For all of the people that saying nasty about this lady, pls let it been known love hurt. her man was cheating with the next neighbor. love hurt all of us one way or another. love is a powerful word. love hurt.

RIP.

My heart really goes out to those inocent Kids this woman was very selfish she knew what she was doing, sense enough to take those Kids with her why not go alone what kind of a mother does such hurriable thing now that ten year old is left with out. His siblings god knows he will be tramatized.

I will not criticize the mother for we do not know exactly what happened or where she was mentally. However the daycare worker said she looked strange and talked strangely that day. Being of a different mindset I will assume that another entity took control of her (negative deadly spirit daemon spirit) and she and it was at a point of no return. Most of us do not realize we are operating with these spirit beings inside of us and born with it too, therefore some of us do not know how to put these spirit beings in check. It is unfortunate but nothing that happens is an accident it was meant to be. The best we can do is try our best to operate in the positive and when that negative being rise up hopefully we can put it back in check.
Peace, harmony, and true care for all.

I thought that people who commit suicide aren’t allow to have a funeral?

It is a great tragic. We have so many couples are not comitted to marriage vow and building family together. They were to selfish to look for benefit of their own and forgot the partners and the kids, the biological products of their short romance. Unfortunately, leaving behing the partners with tremedous burdens resulting in unstable personality. What happened to Armstrongs done have done! I hope this tragic event reflect how much we should value our lifetime partners and family, that we may have overlooked.. My Prayers are with the Armstrong family!! And May God Guide The Lost Ones!

R.I.P. To the innocent kids. But the mom doesn’t deserve any sympathy from anyone. Where was the so called family at when she was hearing things? Now the grandmother is crying saying she won’t be able to hold them or see them. They would still be here if someone reached out to her when she needed it.

It’s so unfortunate that this mother did not value the life of her children. I lost a child to leukemia so hearing about someone who elected to take their children’s lives is someone who doesn’t know how lucky they are to have 4 healthy children.

I just dont understand what could have drawn somebody to do this horrible thing. iMy heart goes out to the children. I can imagine what they have thought while they were drowning. Never can understand why a mother would murder her helpless children.

I am not religious but if there is a hell, this is it !

What a jerk Couldn’t go alone had to take the children with her. yeah you really showed us

Enough sensationalizing every juicy tidbit of this horrific tragedy. No wonder everyone hates the media.

This is so sad. It wouldn’t surprise me if she had post partum depression. Maybe doctors should talk more to family members as well as the mom before and after pregnancy about how to recognize this illness so that treatment can be given before such a terrible tragedy takes place.

this is the saddest thing i have ever heard in my 57 years on this earth.

May the souls of the innocent kids R.I.P.

The family is trying to deal with a tragic loss. I guess it makes them feel better to think that she was mentally ill then to think she was a cold hearted woman who chose to take her life and her childrens lives. Her older son was lucky to have the faculties to pull the window down and swim to shore to try and get help. I agree with NYC. If he family new she was mental, why did they not get her help?

Good Question!!!!!

Like what NYC? You ever heard a friend say something totally off the wall? What did you do about it? Easy to judge after the fact there tuffy.

Of course she was mentally unstable ! If her family noticed, why didn’t they do anything about it !
