The world feels a little more empty as we say goodbye and Honor a Hero, Father, Son, and Brother. Although I never had the privilege of working with Officer Briggs, I can't help but be saddened by the loss of such a fine Officer. Your spirit will forever live on in your Community, and in the hearts of all you touched in your short time in this world. God Bless your family, and Brother Officers, in this time of suffering.

Fallen Hero

A Hero lays there silent
against the cold and lonely ground

Fellow brothers kneel before him
Praying to keep him safe and sound

Angels rush to his side to lift him,
To the place he can be safe

This Hero is someone special
A Man you cannot forsake

A Hero who walked the streets
To keep them safe for you and me

A man we all looked up to
The person we could only hope to be

This Hero has been taken from us
Way before his time

Shot in the line of Duty
By a coward thru and thru

He gave his life protecting
his family,fellow brothers, me and you

This Fallen Hero's name is Michael Briggs
And his memory will run true

God Bless you Michael and your family
For what you have gone through

My thoughts and prayers are with them
If there was only more that I could do

Officer Briggs you have made the ultimate sacrifice. You are a true hero and will never be forgotten. I pray that your family, friends and coworkers can find the strength to get thru the next few weeks and months. He is watching over you. My son was killed by gunfire in a robbery in a small town in Upstate NY in Feb. We are now dealing with the first of 3 trials. God will grant us all the power to heal from this horrific ordeal. God Bless Kathy Corr
