State Rep.: “I Support Renaming The Bridge

While the Dauphin Island Bridge tragedy has touched the lives of many along the Gulf Coast some are hoping to memorialize the tragedy by petitioning to rename the bridge.
Several people have left stuffed animals and a cross in memory of the four children who authorities say were tossed off the bridge by their father. Many viewers have reached out in light of the tragedy on our web forum right here on this site. Michelle Sieck says that's where she came across the idea to rename Dauphin Island Bridge to Four Angels Bridge, in memorial of Hannah, Lindsey, Ryan and Danny. "I had seen where several people had posted the possibility of renaming Dauphin Island Bridge to the Four Angels bridge in memory of the children, but didn't know how to go about doing it," Said Sieck.
That's when Sieck says she decided to help out by organizing an online petition through the website I-Petition. She says by renaming the bridge it will help to remember the children. Alabama State Representative Spencer Collier supports the petition he says he plans to present legislators with a house joint resolution. "I think it's a great idea and I'm going to move forward with it. I've communicated with the Senator to let me say that I'm going to move forward with it, if the family is Ok with it, "Said Spencer.
Collier says if the family gives them permission to rename Dauphin Island Bridge in memorial of the four children, they will introduce the resolution February 5th when legislature goes in session.
