Lit a candle in memory of Robert Allen Briggs
Bobby and I knew each other when we were teenagers and older, in fact he was my first boyfriend. We had great times as free spirits. He always watched out for me. We lost touch with each other when we went our different ways in life. My prayers go out to the family and may God be with Bobby and the family.
Bobby you were a wonderful father to your childrend Bobbie Jo and Joshua. You will always be remembered for being a strong provider, free spirit, fun loving special person. Thank you for all the great years we shared together.
