As I remember the loss of U-City's Sgt. King this weekend, I'm also thinking of your family & Officer Ballman's and the losses they suffered in 2008. These tragedies shook our community so hard last year, and I can only imagine how it shook your family and friends.
I think about you all frequently. No matter how much time passes, I hope you always know that the police community will never forget your service or your loved ones. Officer's Wife

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Sergeant Biggs and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever.
To the family, friends, and colleagues of Sergeant Biggs, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Sergeant Biggs is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family, and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
It was their duty to serve; it is ours to remember. Special Agent

I was honored to have meet both your sons at the NPW 2009 and learned about your heroism. Your son, Cody gave me a pin with your badge number and every time I see it I think of your family. May God continue to give them strength to move forward and remember the honorable person you are. Your blue family and other surviving families will never forget the courage you faced daily. With that said thank you for your efforts to keep this nation safer. Melissa T.

SGT Biggs,
I had the honor of escorting your family and friends around DC one night during Police Week and they were a great bunch of people. We only got lost once or twice, but they were a kind and caring group of people. I know God will comfort them during this difficult time. You are not forgotten sir! Rest in Peace... PFC Penman

Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten. James Sheppard

To Sgt. William Biggs and his loved ones:
On this the first anniversary of your tragic death, please know that your memory is honored and revered today.
My heart is with your family members who call you beloved. They are all in my thoughts and prayers today.
William, you rescued us, saved our lives and our families. You are one of the rare heroes among us. You were always there for us in the most traumatic moments of our lives. No matter when we called, we just expected that you would come and do whatever it took to help us, and you always met our expectations. Your selflessness and dedication are awe-inspiring.
This world, this country, your community truly are better places because of you. To have lost you is a great tragedy, an irreplaceable, immeasurable loss for society. We are grateful for and to you, and honor you for all you did for us day in and day out whether you received a word of thanks or praise.
Rest in Peace, Sgt. Biggs. I am so humbled by your valor and courage.
This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service William gave to his community and the citizens of Missouri, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 7, 2008.

Well Bill, how's it going? You know how it is here. You know there are so many that miss you around the station. Everytime we hear someone imitating Forest Gump, you are thought of. I can't find the right words to say to you. I know you know how I/we all feel inside. There is no one there to set everyone right. I don't think anyone will every replace the officer, you know, the one that always wears his uniform hat. Well, that could only be one officer. There is one that likes his hat about as much as you did, but it just isn't the same.
I know I am just rambling on, but sometimes that what a person has to do.
Well Forest, I'll talk to you later. P.O.

Bill - The first year anniversary is here. I will never forget the horror and sadness I felt when this happened. You have such a loving and strong family, I know you would be proud of them. Cindi has shown tremendous strength. I know, as I have said before, there are three tough angels up there watching over all of us. Continue to watch over your family, friends and coworkers from the Kirkwood PD. You will never be forgetten. Kathy McEntee

It was nearly a year ago and yet I can remember everything so vividly. Much of it I wish I could forget. But what I do recall is us laughing and joking with eachother minutes before your life was taken. I think of your smile as you walked out the door and that is the image I attempt to keep imbedded in my memory. I continue to have my "moments" of sadness, not as often as I used to, but it doesn't make my heart any less heavy. I still miss you Bill. I always will. Mary Nolte

“If Tears Could Build A Stairway"
If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane
I would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say "Goodbye"
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why
My heart still aches with sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to love you
No one can ever know
But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hollowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.
To the Entire Biggs Family - You are in my thoughts and prayers. Bill will never be forgotten. God Bless All of You.-Jayne Jayne McEntee

Bill,
It has been one year since I last visited with you. It has meant so much to me that you called that weekend to make sure that I was still coming out to visit you & Cindi. "Make sure to bring the dogs" you told me. Alyson, Neal & Ryan were already there having a blast! You were always looking after me. I will never forget that weekend spent with you. I miss you very much but I know you are always with me and our family. For that, we are truly blessed.
Take care,
Your Brother Jim Jim Biggs

Bill,
I was working the concession stand at the Kirkwood High School football game and saw your fellow Kirkwood brothers in uniform working the game. I know you hear it daily in our prayers, that there isn't a day that goes by that we don't think of you, Tom and Mac. I can't tell you how much I miss you. Once Dad passed, you kind of became the "Man" of the Biggs' family. You were definitely us three Hoberg girls' rock. Everytime I run into old friends they always have funny memories of our days in school, hockey, football, baseball and more. It is hard to believe that now we only have the memories.
You'd be proud of your "ranch". The barn is awesome and you even have your own two barn cats (or I should say kittens). Jasmine continues to rule the roost with buddy Hank. You'd love the dock that Bo and Cody built this past summer. Hank jumps off to swim and even Jasmine has been known to join in on the swim. We all took advantage of your one acre, natural springs, pool during the hot summer months. What a great refreshing time. I laugh to myself when I think of you telling Cindi not to thow your ashes into her garden because you'd be damned if you came up tomatoes. Good thing you two decided the lake was a better place to be with all your fish to hang out with. It truely was the fitting place. And besides that we all feel your presence at your lake as well as the rest of your property. It is a great feeling and I look forward to all the get togethers and time we spend with friends, family and our memories of you at your "ranch". Miss you always and my heart will never stop hurting. Love you Bill, take care and give Dad my love too.
Love Kathryn

To the family and friends of Sgt. William Biggs and the members of the Kirkwood Police Dept.
On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Sgt. Biggs was tragically killed. I know that your department must be deeply affected by the loss of two dedicated officers to one horrific crime.
To Bill's family, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in the Bay Area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous.
Tears streamed down my face as I read Cody and Bo's reflections for their father. Bill appears to have led by example, and what a wonderful legacy of honor he left for his children and their families. Our family too has a Cody, my beautiful grandson born 2 1/2 months after his father was killed.
When the killers of each fallen officer murders our loved ones, it has a devastating impact on all who loved and cared for them. I pray for your solace. In reading the many loving and admiring reflections, I can see that Bill was an amazing man, who many were proud to call beloved and friend.
This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the many years of distinquished service Bill gave to his community and the citizens of Missourri, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 7, 2008.

To those who loved Sergeant Biggs, my heart goes to you all, especially to his fiancee. Know that you're not alone in this journey you walk. I lost my fiance in the line of duty January 2003 and my world was forever changed. It's been a long hard road, and even as time as gone forward, and I've found many reasons and ways to smile, I still have not forgotten the man that he was. Dennis was a beautiful person and he forever has a part of my heart, just as I'm sure William will always be a part of yours.
It takes a special person to put their lives on the line everyday to make this world a little safer for us all. I know many of these men never would've thought of themselves as "heroes" but they were in so many ways. It's sad that it they had to lose their lives for some of us to see that. Having said that, thank you Sergeant Biggs for helping to make this world a better place. You will not be forgotten here in Winnipeg. I know this isn't a very manly thing to do, but if you happen to run into Dennis up there, please give him a big hug for the kids and I. Dennis was a good man and we miss him more than words can say.
Wishing those who loved you brighter and better days,
