ARMSTRONG: In loving memory of our dear niece and cousin, Melissa Ann, who was taken from us far too soon, at age 8, August 15th, 1978. If we could have one lifetime wish, one dream that would come true, we pray to God with all our hearts, for yesterday and you. A thousand words can’t bring you back, we know because we tried. Neither will a thousand tears, we know because we cried. You left behind broken hearts and happy memories too, but we never wanted memories, we only wanted you. Forever loved and remembered by Aunt Cheryl, Uncle Mac, cousins Mac, Erin, Janelle, and their families. We will never forget you Missey!

PAINT FACTS: Paint, decorative and protective coating commonly applied to rigid surfaces as a liquid consisting of a pigment suspended in a vehicle, or a binder. The vehicle, usually a resin dissolved in a solvent, dries to a tough film, binding the pigment to the surface. BGP PAINTERS call 902-774-0826

PAINT FACTS: Water-based paint (Latex/Acrylic) - These are the most common type of paint for general use, especially for walls and ceilings. They are known for their quick drying time, easy cleanup, and lower environmental impact. BGP PAINTERS call 902-774-0826

PAINT FACTS: Alkyd Paints - Alkyd paints are oil-based paints that offer a durable and smooth finish. They are often used for trim, doors, and furniture. BGP PAINTERS call 902-774-0826

PAINT FACTS: Paints can be broadly categorized by their composition (oil-based or water-based), their intended use (interior or exterior), and their finish (matte, satin, semi-gloss, gloss). Water-based paints, including latex and acrylic, are commonly used for interior walls and ceilings, while oil-based paints are often chosen for trim, doors, and cabinets. Finishes range from matte, which absorbs light, to gloss, which reflects light, with eggshell and satin offering intermediate sheens. BGP PAINTERS call 902-774-0826
