Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To the family of Officer Briggs,

Six months ago my best friend got a life-saving lung transplant. Because of your selflessness during the worst days of your life I know that I will have her friendship for a long time to come. There are so many who are eternally grateful to you, know that we will always remember you and your loss. I think about you often even though we have never met. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Officer Briggs,
Sir you were in my thoughts as your story was told to me by your former co-worker Mark Bujnowski. As I heard him tell the story, it instantly left a void inside. Although I have never met you, the instinctive Police Brotherhood we all carry immediately left me feeling a deep sorrow for another sad loss to our Police family.

Recently I attended the funeral of my friend, co-worker, and fellow Cop. Vice Detective Keith Dressel of the Toledo Police Dept, Oh who was shot and killed by another coward. These incidents are never easy to deal with regardless of whether or not we had a personal contact with the person. We are all Cops and thats enough. Please know that your loss is felt throughout this country. You are a HERO which will never be forgotten!

To your family,
Please know, as I'm sure you do, that you are most important to him and he is watching out for you from above. Officer Briggs, would you say hello to my friend Keith I'm sure the two of you will hit it off. He has a personality like no other. Both of you Rest in Peace and look out for us down here that continue doing this very dangerous job. God Bless...

ANGEL IN BLUE
by Rhonda J. LaFoy

Your loved ones are mourning,
A thousand tears we cry,
The questions are endless,
Of God, asking why.
I know it's what you chose to do,
You vowed to give your life,
But I never thought the day would come,
That you would fade into the night.
I'll try to be strong and carry on,
But it's hard, in so much pain,
Without you standing here with me,
I'll never be the same.
In the briefest moment,
Someone took your life,
I'll make this one promise to you,
Your memory will survive.
So, take your place in heaven,
Spread your wings and fly,
I'll see you again, in the end,
I know this isn't goodbye.
In this silent moment of sadness,
I gaze above and salute you,
You join the ranks of those who have fallen,
And become an angel in blue.

I was born and raised on the West side of Manchester. I knew a different Manchester growing up and it has changed a lot since I was a child.
My heart goes out the all the family and people that knew him. I know God has plans for all of us and we need to live our lives and leave this earth making a difference in people's lives.
God bless and Merry Christmas to the family and friends!!

People like you make us all want to become better human being and do more with our own lives. You may be gone, but the spirit of who you are lives on in all those whose lives you touched. You were not just a hero on that fateful October night; you always were and always will be. Rest in peace.
