hosts Matt Doran and Monique Wright paid tribute to Libby during their show on Friday, standing in for Ms Armytage and co-host David ‘Kochie’ Koch as they attended the funeral.“Extremely sad news of a much-loved member of the Sunrise family. Some of you may have already heard that Sam’s mum Elizabeth ‘Libby’ Armytage passed away last week,” Mr Doran said.
“Libby had a long battle with an auto-immune disease that affected her heart. Sam says her mum fought bravely, but in the end her big loving heart just couldn’t do it anymore.” Ms Wright continued: “Sam says her mum was wonderful, kind, loving, loyal, funny and formidable. Her death leaves a huge and irreparable hole.”
Demonstrating once again not that we need it why your media franchise is a pox on society
Shouldnt this be private? Unless Sam wants it pay per view
Why haven’t we heard anything about how she celebrated her mother’s birthdays each year....weird?
A lot of people would do the same
That's normal I thought
Her mother’s funeral ... time to grieve and show emotion... show empathy and compassion.... this is gutter tabloid journalism..
Why would the public need to know this? Leave her alone.
You suck with your headlines ...
Seriously how the feck is this news?
So sorry for your loss. 68 is far too young to die RIP.
How is this news? Let the poor family grieve.
Slow news day?
How about you leave her alone instead of exploiting her grief for clicks?
Why do you feel the need to report this story? Let Sam and her family grieve in private.
No wonder the ABC continually beats this pathetic rag in the ratings Its gets more idiotic by the day!!!
STOP THE PRESSES!! NICE ONE SCOOP!
Losing a family member is a difficult time. It is a shame that you expect us to share some compassion toward sam_armytage as you play her as a fragile daughter. She will return to the TV and still be a heartless racist, a morning show host in a small country- nil importance.
itsbeemastro Exactly what were you expecting her to do at her mother's funeral? Get up and do the Macarena or something THIS. ISN'T. NEWS. FFS! 🤦♂️
Daughter breaks down at mother’s funeral. What a scoop. Something that has never happened before. FMD. Journalism in this country is at an all time low.
Yeah sooooo?
Imagine what it must be like to tell people, when they ask what you do for a living, you tell them 'Its my job to tell people that someone felt upset when a close family member passed away.' It must be so satisfying NotJokes ThisSuitIsNotBlack
What a ghoul itsbeemastro is. Just vile.
Very sad
What were you bastards doing spying on her on probably one of the worst days of her life? Shame on you.
This is huge !
Is this really news though? Her mother is probably turning in her grave with embarrassment.
Thanks scoop 🤦♂️
why do we need to know ..... is she that needy for attention ? we all lose family but dont need to go to social media for sympathy
Lol
Was she meant to show no emotion towards her mother? What the fuck?! Emotional farewell to a beloved mother... would be a nicer headline!
😢
Ghouls.
BREAKING: Person did a thing that people do
