Reflections for Sergeant William Leo McEntee

Bill - We really, really miss you.

July 6, 2006

This sucks. Already a year and the pain is still so raw. We all miss you. Some of your guys are still having a hard time. Be with them and help them to deal. Me included! You were very special to me and I thank you for being someone I could look up to.

Sergeant McEntee,
Like someone else said on here, you have touched many lives. Specifically that of mine and my family. To keep it short, thank you for being an inspiration!

Bill,

It's been a year since the murdering SOB took you away from us. We all miss you very much and I miss that big smile. I pray for you and to you all the time. Your family is the best as were you and I'm lucky to have known you.

Miss Ya!

Dear Bill, I have never met you but our families are connected through the horrible tragedies we have come to live with. This being the first anniversary of your death I just want to let them all know that I feel their pain. We constantly struggle with emotions every day. I have had the pleasure of their company at many functions and I found that being with your sisters in Washington helped me get through the entire ordeal. We laughed and we cried together and we asked "WHY"?, but I know noone can answer that. I am however greatful for their concern and friendship. Please help them through the months to come and watch over us all. You are always in our thoughts. I know you are with the best of the best. Sincerely, Mary Ann Tatoian, Mother of Missouri State Trooper Ralph C. Tatoian E.O.W. April 20,2005

It is hard to believe that it is one year. Your life touched so many people. Watch over your family and friends, especially today, but always. You are missed in so many ways. We thank God for the gift of your life and wish it could have been longer. Be with us!

Bill, it's been a year but it feels like yesterday. Please be with Jayne, Kathy and Mike, and of course your Mom. This is a very difficult time for them and they miss you so much. And know how many people loved you and respected you. You touched so many lives in your short life on earth. We will have a cold one for you tonight.

Bill,
Today is a year. I still think you are going to be coming back from a long trip or come out from hiding on me like you use to do when we were little...but the nightmare continues. It is true what they say, a part of me died with you that night. I still feel the pain every day. I miss you so much and I think you know that and why. We still have so many memories we are clinging to and the laughter that these memories bring us, but you should be here and it is just not fair. I prayed to Dad that night to be with you and to keep you safe - I know he did and you are now with us and keeping us safe - that gives me some comfort. Please give us your strength and guidance. We really need it. I am so proud of you - you have touched many, many lives and continue to do so. I love you and miss you-Jayne

Sgt. Mac there is not a day that goes by that you are not thought of. So many loved and respected you. Today is going to be a very hard day for us all. Please watch over us and help us all stay strong.

I was leaving our friend, Ralph Tatoian, a message and I thought of you and your family. Through tragedy, unfortunately yours, I have had the opportunity to meet your siblings through functions in relation to you and Ralphie. You have the nicest sisters and I hope they keep their promise of a visit to the country. It saddens me to think I've only had the opportunity to meet them because of their loss of you but I thank you for sharing them with us. Happy 4th - God Bless you and our freedom!

Bill - Tomorrow is a year. Every day I struggle with your loss, but I know that is because I love you. Mike, Jayne and I feel as though we have buried a part of us, but we know you are still here with us in spirit. Part of that spirit is in the humor and laughter we all shared and still share. We will have your Memorial Mass tomorrow. Those who love you will be there. I will always be there for you, please stay with me and help me through all of this. I am proud to be your sister. Kathy

July 4, 2006

Be with us Mac. We miss you every single day. Some are still struggling with it, you know who they are. Be with them. We all love and miss you!!!

To Sergeant McEntee,

With my many ride-alongs with the Kirkwood Police Department as an explorer of almost three years, I can tell you that you are truly missed and there is not a day that goes by when your fellow officers think about the man they knew as MAC. You had a great impact on the people that you worked with. I can recall a few ride-alongs that I did when your were the Sergeant on duty and you always wanted to step up and take control of the situation and did it so professionally and with perfection. By seeing how you worked with people and how you handled situations, I feel that I will be a better person and hopefully a great police officer.

Thanks for all you did.

Happy Father's Day Bill,
One of the things I admired most about you was your dedication to your kids - they meant the world to you and you were the best dad to them. I still remember last Father's Day - looking back now, it was a perfect day of us all together. I can still see you and Mike in the pool! Now I know why it was a perfect day. Give dad a hug for me-I miss you both so much. Love you-Jayne

To the Family of Bill:

We will remember Bill!

In the rising of the sun and in it's going down....
We remember him

In the blowing of the wind and the rebirth of spring....
We remember him

In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer.....
We remember him

In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn....
We remember him

In the beginning of the year and when it ends...
We remember him

When we are weary and in need of strength.....
We remember him

When we are lost and sick of heart....
We remember him

When we have joys we yearn to share....
We remember him

So long as we live, Bill too shall live,
for he is a part of us as....
We remember him

We will remember Bill!
