Russell Armstrong's family didn't attend the memorial his estranged wife, Taylor Armstrong, had for him on in Los Angeles on Wednesday because they'd been planning one on their own in Texas all along, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned.

According to a very close family member, who wishes to remain anonymous to avoid further drama, a couple of family members were sent to L.A. to pick-up Russell's ashes so they can have their own memorial on Saturday.
