Matthew "Matty" Armstrong
My Dad was an amazing man who put his family first and would help us all he can and he was my best friend.
He was husband to Marlene, Dad to Debra and Lynne and Grandad to Chloe, brother to Agnes, Malcolm, Isabelle, James (Jim) & Pauline, my dad was the eldest.
He was born in Coatbridge, Scotland in November 1945 to Agnes and James Armstrong and moved to Rotherham for work in 1975, he met my Mum Marlene and they had my sister Debra in 1976 and 3 yrs later I was born.
Everything was great for our family untill Dec 29th 2008 when we heard my Dad had passed out while he was driving the car to go and get my sister from work, I rang his mobile and a police officer answerd and told me that my Dad was unconcious but my Dad was diabetic so we thought he had an "hypo" it wasn't untill we got to the hospital that we learnt that my Dad had suffered a stroke. He was in hospital for 6 weeks before he died but he did his very best to stay with us. The reason I haven't stated the cause of death is because he didn't die of just one thing and that is personal to me and my family.
My Dad is truely my hero and some one I'm very proud to say IS my Father - I will miss him eternally.

A million times we've needed you
a million times we've cried
if love could have saved you
you never would have died
in life we loved you dearly
in death we love you still
in our hearts you hold a place
no one will ever fill
it broke our hearts to lose you
but you did'nt go alone
part of us went with you
the day god took you home
XXXX

Try To Imagine....
Try To Imagine....
Try to imagine what its like
When i see you all below
I miss you all so much
This you surely know
Try to imagine my pain
When i see those tears you cry
If only you knew the beauty
Of my home up in the sky
Try to imagine the day
When we will all be together
God calls us all back
And we will be apart not ever.....
If Only.....
I wish heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday & days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, all I have are
memories & a photo in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never part, God has you in his arms I have you in my heart.
We will never say Goodbye Dad xxx
