Bishop Ted G. Jacobsen
Friends and members of the family, Bob Armstrong passed away last Thursday, very suddenly, in a manner in which he himself had hoped someday he might go. He is survived by his wife, two lovely boys, his mother, a brother and four sisters. These services today are being carried out at the request of the family by the Bishopric of Bonneville Ward. The program has been arranged by members of the family and will now go forward.
Invocation: Joseph B. Wirthlin of Bishopric of Bonneville Ward and fraternity brother of Bob
Our kind Heavenly Father, we thy children come before thee this day in gratitude for the life of Robert Francis Armstrong whom Thou hast called home. And, Heavenly Father, we are indeed grateful unto Thee for the life of this fine young man. We are grateful unto Thee for all the qualities that he has emulated which Thou hast set down as a pattern during Thy life upon this earth. We are grateful for his kindness to others, for his honesty and integrity and all the things he stood for while serving upon this earth. We know that he loved the good things of life and tried to carry out the things that he thought would be best to do in the service of Thee. And we pray this day, Heavenly Father, for a special blessing upon those who mourn for him. Wilt Thou touch them with Thy Holy Spirit. Wilt Thou give to them an increased testimony of Thee and of the plan of salvation. We pray for those who will participate during the service. Wilt Thou inspire them to say the things tat will comfort us and buoy us up and give us an increased testimony of Thee. We pray for these blessings and all others that we stand in need of and we do it humbly in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
