Minister Briggs was one of the humblest men and spirit filled soloist I have ever known. While I was State Minister in Virginia I requested for him to sing often and was always blessed. Rev. Dr James Bradley

May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. 2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion. 3 May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings.[2] 4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. 5 May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all your requests.
6 Now this I know: The Lord gives victory to his anointed. He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand. 7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. 8 They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. 9 Lord, give victory to the king! Answer us when we call!
Our prayers are with you Ms Vickie

My heart goes out to you and your family through this difficult time of grieving. My family and I are always here if you need anything!! I love you and I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I can only imagine the heartache you are going through.

Vickie and Family, on behalf of my family I offer our sincerest sympathies and prayers in your loss. Sam was Sam, always the same from the first time I met him. He was a people person, a proud and loving family man, especially attentive to his 'bride' and a truly Spiritual Being. Our loss is Heaven's Gain! Rely on your Faith, knowing that God has the final say, and your Precious Memories, to sustain you through your coming days of grief and sorrow. God will see you through.
