...To the long list of heroes honored
today may I respectfully add Briggs. He
has carried his burden with grace and
dignity. He has inspired so many around
him. He continues to give all that he has
to improving the capabilities that cancer
once robbed from him. I watch in awe.,,
Many members of "Team Briggs" have prayed
and hoped along with the family since Briggs
was diagnosed with brain and spinal cancer
at age two. Brenn and Sylina keep friends
posted through the Care Pages.
At the December, 2011 Monterey Cowboy
Poetry & Music Gathering, during cowboy
church, which had a special theme of
Christmas and thankfulness, Brenn introduced
and sang his song, "The Power of Prayer"
(find the lyrics
here). As Doris Daley commented, all
that needed to be said was conveyed in those
few minutes.
