To the Briggs family,

Although I knew Mike only briefly his winning personality was a force not to be easily overlooked. His sense of humor and commitment to family were clear even to a casual observer. There are few real tragedies but the death of a young man with a family and such great potential is surely one. I am keeping you in my thoughts and focusing on good energy for you in the coming weeks.

Regards,

Marilyne (and for) Richard Williams

I can't remember a time when i didn't know Mike. I'll always remember his big grin and all of the great times we had growing up.The true measure of a man is not how much he is loved while he is alive but how much he is missed when he is gone. I will always remember you in my heart Mike!
