Angela Gilliam, second from left, aunt of LaShanda Armstrong, and three unidentified women, place balloons, stuffed animals and candles near the boat ramp Wednesday, April 13, 2011 where Armstrong drove her car into the river in Newburgh, N.Y. Armstrong, who had just been involved in a domestic dispute, loaded her four children into a minivan Tuesday night and drove into the Hudson River, police said. La'Shaun Armstrong, 10, escaped from the car and swam to shore, but his mother and three of his siblings were killed.
