Reflections for Patrolman Scott Morgan Armstrong
Scott,
I met your parents Monday at a Backstoppers luncheon for fallen police/fireman. It was hard that day for my family but your mom and dad showed great comfort and support to my in-laws. Scott you are a true hero as a police officer and as a person and I can see by looking at your parents what kind of person you are. Take care of Officer Jeremy Chambers-Cahokia PD, E/O/W 04-24-06, up there. My family will see you both in heaven some day!!!

hi scott,
haven't checked in for awhile. not much to report here. mary and i went to the winery over the weekend with barney's. yes, we behaved. stanze's golf tournament was on saturday. again, a great time was had by all. i am sure your own golf tournament will be a hit. i sure do miss you. i still don't know why god took such a wonderful guy, but i guess he has a bigger plan for you in heaven. i just wish it didn't hurt those of us left here so much. i have always been very greatful to you for helping me through a very painful time of my life. i am sure you are among friends in heaven and that does comfort me. please take care and continue to look down upon us.
love,

Doc,
I wanted to let you knowI have been thinking about you and your family lately. I finished some training last week and a couple of guys from King County said that they remember you from the Academy. Your mom sent us some nice pictures from the Missouri memorial.
Keep an eye on us and God bless your family.

Scott -
Hey bud just got back from the MADD National Conference. It was a good training conference and I hope I will be able to put alot of what I learnt to use here in St. Louis.
April starts working for MADD tomorrow. Scott, I cannot tell you how much I think this means to her. I went and met here after she had her interview - she was nervous - but she had a smile from ear to ear on her face. I know she will do great things in her new position as a Victim Advocate. You would be proud of your little sister.
Morgan is good - great in fact. What a beautiful baby.
Well bud... keep an eye out for all your brothers in blue...
See you on the flip side.

Scott, your Mom sent me two miniature replicas of your badge and blue ribbon decals. The miniature badge is displayed on my hat with honor next to my son Michael's Chicago star. The blue ribbon is displayed in the rear window of my truck for all to see and remember you. You will never be forgotten. I know the pain your parents are going through as I walk in their shoes. I know both of them would trade places with you in a heart beat, as I would for my son, so that you both could be here to carry on the job you loved so much and to be with your loved ones and friends. All any of us can do is take one day at a time an know that our lives have been changed forever. We will always carry you in our hearts and will keep both of your memories alive. The Blue Family will never let you be forgotten. Keep watch over your loved ones and help ease some of their pain. I will end with a poem that was sent to me: Poem by Richard Fife
No person is ever truly alone.
Those who live no more,
Whom we loved,
Echo still within our thoughts,
Our words, our hearts.
And what they did,
And who they were,
Becomes a part of all that we are,
Forever.

Scott,
This past weekend I met your mother in St. Louis at a Bereaved Parents Conference, what a wonder sweet woman. I know the pain she is suffering right now and the long road she has ahead of her with your loss. Keep a special watch over her and wrap your wings around her to help relieve some of her grief. There are no words of comfort that I can offer her except to take one day at a time and keep speaking your name to everyone she comes in contact with because she can be proud of having a son who is cosidered a hero and heroes never die. You will never be forgotten.

Scott -
As you know, you are now a proud uncle. Morgan is a beautiful little girl. I dont think Matt and April - your parents or mine - could be happier.
I know it meant a great deal for them to name her after you. You are truly missed and this is just one of the many ways you are remembered each and everyday.
Watch over Matt and April. They have been through some struggles and are trying to forge new paths. Give them all the help you can.
God's speed.

Hey Scott,
Well, as you know for sure, fathers day 2006 was quite an event. Can you believe you are an UNCLE now? Thanks for being there with April through the attempted delivery and eventual c-section. It was a rough day, but beautiful Morgan Rose is such a great bundle of joy for us. From what we have seen already, thankfully, Morgan is a exact replica of April. Your mom and dad are really excited it seems. We really wish though we were here to share that special day with us, and enjoy Morgan as she grows up.
You know it means more than anything for us to name our daughter after you.
Continue to watch over April and Morgan as they recover. We will be home from the hospital soon, and hope that you continue to share this time with us from above.
Keep those safe that are up there with you, and continue to watch over those that are on the roads.
May god bless those of us who portect.
