The more this story unfolds, the worse it gets! Last week, we reported that Lashanda Armstrong made the decision to end her life along with her children when she drove her car into the Hudson River after allegedly not being able to take the pain from her relationship anymore. Early this morning, the NY Post reported that the accused boyfriend and father, Jean Pierre has made the decision to bury Lashanda in a separate cemetery from her children. Though this may be a spiteful decision for Pierre, WHAT ABOUT THE SON WHO SURVIVED?! The oldest son who survived the river dive, LaShaun, will now have to visit two different cemeteries to visit his siblings and his mother.

(NY POST)–She won’t rest in peace if he has anything to do with it.
The deadbeat dad whose girlfriend drowned herself and their three kids in the Hudson River demanded that the mother’s funeral be separate from the service for the children.
Lashanda Armstrong — whose funeral is today — won’t even be buried with her children. Instead, she will be laid to rest in a separate cemetery, the lawyer for the father said.
Jean Pierre “felt it was important to have just one service because of the circumstances, that the mother killed herself and three children,” said lawyer Michael O’Connor.
Pierre, 26, is having the kids buried together on Monday at Gethsemane Cemetery, Congers, NY, where the owner donated plots for the three siblings.
The lawyer said Pierre was happy to have Armstrong buried with the kids, but her family decided to go ahead with their initial plans to bury her in Spring Valley, NY.
Pierre released a brief statement insisting that he has “been inaccurately portrayed as being directly responsible for the tragedy.”
This is definitely a tragic situation ,Pierre may had played apart in adding to her emotional state, however he should not be held responsible for her decision to end her life along with her innocent children. The focus now should be on the child that survived he’s going to need alot of love and support. MAY God have mercy on her soul.
