It’s no secret that things between Taylor Armstrong and her late husband Russell weren’t exactly amicable, but in the wake of his death, she’s working hard to plan a memorial service in his honor.

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” starlet is said to be in the early stages of coming up with a service to remember her late estranged husband.

Russell’s lawyer Ronald Richards told press, “I have been notified by Taylor’s attorney that she is making the memorial arrangements for Russell.”

“Taylor wants to plan the memorial for Russell, after all, they were married. I know that Russell’s mother wants to take his body back to Texas and have him buried though — but, that will be for Taylor and Russell’s mom to figure out.”

When news broke of Russell Armstrong’s suicide, there was plenty of shock and disbelief in the entertainment industry.

And now it has been reported that his estranged wife Taylor Armstrong was the one who discovered his body.

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” starlet arrived at a private Mulholland Drive residence after not hearing from Russell over the weekend. That’s when she made the gruesome discovery.

Armstrong’s rep told press, "Taylor Armstrong is devastated at the tragic events that have unfolded. She requests privacy at this time so that she may comfort her young daughter."

Taylor had filed for divorce from Russell back in July, citing physical abuse as her motive, and last week she had a nasty cut above her eye. Friends deny that the injury was caused by Russell.

And an insider shared, "Russell was dealing with a heavy amount of emotional and familial distress. His life was in shambles.”
