Reflections for Sergeant William Leo McEntee

Bill-
We wanted to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I know you and Nick and the guys are celebrating up there. We will be by
this weekend to see Nick and will stop by to see you. After Payton goes by to see Nick, then she always runs down to say hi to you.

Please send special signs to your family. They are so wonderful (which you already knew :)) We consider them a special part of our family. We have shared alot of laughter and tears with them. We also love to hear the stories. You also have so many wonderful friends that care about you so much. I can honestly say that St. Patrick's Day would not be the same without your family at our "special" meeting spot. (Some people don't understand)

Well, you guys need to keep watching over everybody... I'm sure you guys are talking alot about hockey.

Happy Birthday Bill! I'll try and make it out to see you for a little celebration. So much going on, and how I wish I could talk to you about things. Have a toast with Dad and the boys up there. I miss you, I love you.

Happy Birthday Bill!
I know it is a day early, but had to give you trouble about who will be in Kirkwood tonight - coincidence?!?! I hope you are having a few birthday buds for us - we all miss you terribly. Would give anything for a birthday dinner/hockey game. Miss you and love you.-Jayne

Mac,
I have thought of you often since your tragic death. I remember sitting eating dinner at PJ's when the waitress told us that a "Sergeant Bill" from Kirkwood Police had been shot. I knew instantly that it was not my brother, Sergeant Bill Biggs, since he was just getting home from our family reunion in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I was sickened as the story unraveled over the next few days and selfishly thankful that my brother was safe. I was overcome as I witnessed the outpouring of love and support for your family and the Kirkwood Police Department by the surrounding communities. The procession was amazing and incredible to see. I have to admit that it wasn't until February 7, 2008, after the senseless killings of your fellow brothers, Tom and Bill, that I truely understood the sadness and pain that your family has endured. I am comforted knowing that you have each other. I have enjoyed getting to know your sister Kathy and wife Mary. What great gals you had in your life. Always know that your family is in my heart and prayers and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you, Tom and my brother Bill. Take care of each other and watch over the rest of us.

Thanks for your service,

Kathryn Biggs Hoberg
Sister of Sergeant Bill Biggs

Hi Bill - I visit every morning. Please watch over Mom. I really want to see her experience some happiness. I've seen those brave but sorrowful tears flow when she lost you. I watched them too when Dad left us and when she lost her first grandchild. Stay with her, she needs your light. I love you, I miss you everyday.

Bill,
Well, another senseless cowardly act has happened in Maplewood today - watch over the firefighter/paramedic who lost his life and his family - as well as the police officers who were injured and their families - and the Maplewood community - they are going to need all of our prayers. I know you will take good care of all of them. I definitely know you are in a better place. Miss you, especially today. Love-Jayne

Bill,
It's been 3 years - seems like 3 seconds. And still as painful. Time doesn't stop - but neither do the memories and images of you. I see you in everything - especially your kids. Not a day goes by you are not thought of and missed. I am trying to move forward the best I can, but at times it is still a struggle. It is those times when I hear dad's voice saying "get up - push a little" and I do, because I know that is what you would want me to do. I feel your presence. Mom misses you. She was saying the other day how much you loved to eat, and then followed it with "I still can't believe he is gone"...I think that says it all. Watch over all of us - we need you. Thanks for the sunshine. Love and miss you alot - Jayne

Bill, Sent a message on the 3rd, Ralphs birthday, but somehow it never showed up here, and neither did the one I sent to Ralph, Oh well, I`ll start again. Your family has been in my thoughts on this third anniversary. They are amazing people, each and every one of them. I feel very comfortable sharing with them the good times and the bad. Out of our misery, I can only hope our friendship will bring a little joy. It has helped me alot. You should be very proud. To all of your family, I will forever keep you in my prayers. May they continue to heal each day. Keep on looking down on all of us. Mary Ann, Ralph`s Mom.

Bill-
We were at the lake and didn't have access to the internet. We just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you. Even though we never met, we feel like we have known you forever. Your family is so wonderful. I don't know what we would do without them. They truly are able to understand when we laugh, cry or just need to meet at the cemetary on "special occasions".

Payton and I came to visit Nick and we walked to visit with you. Payton said this is "Connie's dad". When we were at the hockey game for the policeman vs. fireman, she said hi to Connor but kept saying "Connie". Your son just had that great smile and said hi. The smile he has is just contagious.

Well, I had better get going but just wanted to let everyone know that we were thinking about them and wish we could have been there to spend the day with them.

James, Kelly and Payton

The past two years I was able to share your memory with Tommy and now that he too has been taken from us I can only think of your family and how loving and strong they are for everyone of us. Thinking of you on July 5 and hoping your family knows how well they are thought of today and always. Miss you - Give Tommy a big hardy smack on the back for me.

Bill, life sure keeps going on without you and the other boys but not easily. There has not been a day that has gone by that I didn't stop to think about you. As we come up on the anniversay I just wanted to stop in and let you know that you are missed deeply. Keep watching over everyone and keep them safe. You will never be forgotten. The family is so great! We have become such great friends.

When I feel the first warm winds of summer, my heart sinks. You lived your last summer day on July 5, 2005 when a monster took you from us. I still think of you everyday. I think of our last conversation on that day and I still see you leaving my house in that blue Boston hat. I never dreamed I'd never see you again. A part of my life forever gone. Say a prayer for me and everyone down here. We are trying to move on. Your legacy of strength and humor have certainly helped. I'm glad I was able to see and hear you laugh one last time on that July day. It's a memory I'll always have to help me through the gut wrenching memories of how you died. I thank God for the gift of you as a brother. Your short time on this earth was quite a ride for all of us. You are so missed and still so loved.
