Patrick Thomas Jendro

The photo of you with Gracie and Louie on your lap is so special now. Together again. A beautiful gift for your birthday. So much time since you left us but we remember. Always and forever. We remember.
Marcia

Dad,
Sending you a Happy heavenly 54th wedding anniversary for you and mom!!! Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. Thank you for all my cardinals that come to visit and make sure I know they are there. It brings me so much peace yet makes me miss you even more. I love that you are in my dreams so often and are healthy and we are all happy and together. I so wish you were still here! Love you dad!!! Alway and Forever!
Your daughter,
Jessie

The signs that you are with us bring such peace. The tiny feather that lands on my hand, the cardinal singing madly in our yards or near the deer stand, the dreams that creep softly from our memories. Each of our lives have changed so much in these eight years. Ironic that so many are taking place during this time. I remember our many discussions as our time together was ending. I am moving forward with a good man but never leaving you behind. Always and Forever. Marcia

And today marks 7 years from the morning you left us. The time we've spent without you here seems like an eternity. The changes in our family, Jordan's babies, Ivy and Kai, Jacob becoming a Marine, Andrew working with his dad, Jenna and Kelsey graduating from college, JP and Gabby getting married, Amanda traveling the world, James getting his license and Jack and Justin right behind, always on Pete's heals. With the cabin selling last year, Jonica, Pete and I bought the lake lots and we know we will always have you close and will always be next to mom. We feel your presence every time we are at the cabin. We miss you something fierce but the memories and stories are still told and put big smiles on our faces and happiness and joy in our hearts. I am still forever grateful to have had you as my dad. I would love to have my cardinal visit as much as he can. I am always watching for him. We love you, always and forever!!! Jessie

Dad,

It's hard to believe a year has passed since we last saw you. It has gone fast and slow at the same time. There is so much I want to say to you - hopefully you are listening to my thoughts every morning on my way to work or while I'm putzing on the aquarium.

It's strange, we do not remember days - we remember moments. Nothing brings a moment to the surface like a smell. One scent can be unexpected and brief - yet it can invoke childhood summers at the lake; the presence of a new bowl or clock that was just crafted; a family dinner of fried chicken and new potatoes from the garden, and you (dad) wearing an old torn sweatshirt. Smells ignite softly in our memory like emotional land mines - hit a tripwire of smell and the memories explode all at once.

We have so many wonderful memories with you dad. Some of those memories make us laugh (like you telling mom she “has light buns”, or the kids ducking down in the car when you picked them up from school because you wouldn't let anyone pass you) and some make us sad (because you are not here). I cherish the time you were here and thank you for everything you did for me, for all of us.

I love you and miss you.
Jonica

When I think back over the years Pat has been in my life, it's easy to see the really extraordinary man he is. To me it's usually the case that people become more close minded they longer they live. With Patrick it was the opposite. He grew as he ecame older. Quite amazing. Especially since he's the strong quiet kind of guy. I know that teaches me a lot about how to proceed in life. Thank you for bringing into our family.
Love, Cynthia

To my Dearest Dad,
I can't believe what tomorrow brings. One year without you, seeing you, talking to you, hugging you, missing you so very much. How lucky we were, how lucky we Stilll are for having had you as our dad. You taught me to be strong, to believe in what is right, be honest, hard working and most of all be proud of myself for believing in what is right. The days pass and I still can't believe this is reality. Your physical absence is more painful than one can imagine. We are strong, we are a family, together forever. I thank you and mom for who the person I've become and everything you've taught me. Thank you for my cardinal, my feathers and most of all for my belief in knowing I will always have you as our guardian angel. I couldn't have asked for a better dad. I know you will continue to watch over us and knowing you are always with us. I love you dad!
All my love.

Your daughter,
Jessie

We remember every day from September 22, 2011 to April 15, 2012 but the 365 days following are blurred except for specific events. We are torn between the sad thoughts that continue to break our hearts and the sweet memories that help to relieve the anguish. Your clocks tick the minutes until I am with you again for Heaven is where you are - in grey sweatshirt and jeans. Loving you Always and Forever, Marcia

Thinking of you today and every day. We miss you so much. I can't believe it's been almost one year since you left us. Happy Easter dad. We all love you so very much! Mom goes back to work tomorrow, I know you will be with her and will help her through. All my love,
Jessie Caroline

If this last year has proved anything, it is the strength and power of family. We did well, honey. Loving you Always And Forever. Marcia

Valentine's Day. A day of love and loss. I have your card and i feel your love and hold tightly to memories that keep you close. I send you my love on this special day. Always and forever, Marcia

I am relieved to be through the last week. You have been with me every second. I know you are pleased with the strength of our family. I thank you for that wonderful gift. loving you always and forever. Marcia

The last day of the year that was filled with so much hope and so much grief. I continue to hope - that your love will be with us always, that we will be worthy to be with you again. I miss you so, Patrick. Always and Forever, Marcia

The holiday season without you is just that - without you. Each of us struggle to let go of the grief and share memories that are so much about you. I miss you Patrick - more than I ever thought possible. I will love you always and forever.
Marcia

It is hunting season and I want to stop by and talk about deer seen,sign,and taken, but your not here .it leaves me with such an empty feeling.I miss you dad, I love you and miss you.
Peter Patrick.

Tomorrow the 20th would be your 70th Birthday. Happy Birthday to the best dad in the world. Watch over us and please give us the strength to celebrate this day and honor your memory. We love and miss you!
Love,
Jessie

Tomorrow will be seven months since I heard the last beats of your strong heart. We used to enjoy the song by Skeeter Davis entitled The End of The World. It is so incredibly meaningful now. Thank you for loving me, Patrick. The kids and I will celebrate your birthday and remember the good life we had with you. Marcia

Dad,
Today is 6 months since you left us. We miss and love you so much!!!
Wishing you were still here and praying that our pain will someday lessen.
Love,
Jessie

Dad,
It's been one year since your diagnosis. It's incomprehensible how it can feel like yesterday but an eternity since we had you with us. Never in a million years could we have ever prepared ourselves for what lay ahead on what turned out to be the longest, hardest journey we'd encountered. It was so hard to watch the man of steel be so vulnerable and need us more than ever. You fought the fight of your life with your loving, supporting army with you every step of the way. You are part of my everday. Each starting with a "good morning" or "hi dad", an "I love you and miss you" and a "good night" and of course an "Our Father and Hail Mary", (just for you). I miss you so much.
I love you,
Jessie

Patrick, it is another Sunday morning. I look at the photo frame and see you over and over again and so long to be with you. Please help me to be strong and to believe. I love you, honey. Always and forever. Marcia

Dad, tomorrow is your and mom's wedding anniversary. This will be a very tough day for mom, for all of us. We were so lucky to have such loving parents. Parents who have taught us that you can make it through anything with love and hard work. I aspire to be as good a parent as you and mom have been for us. Thank you dad for going on that blind date many years ago, thank you for realizing so quickly how special mom was, thank you for asking her to marry you, thank you for loving her so much!
Happy 44th Wedding Anniversary to Mr. and Mrs Jendro, Always and Forever!
With my deepest love,
Your daughter,
Jessie

Dad - it is mom's birthday tomorrow, her first birthday without you. She misses you dearly (so do we). Please watch over her - help her remember how much you loved her and all the happy times you had together. You are always in our hearts, we love you very much.

Patrick T - The days are long without you. I keep expecting you to walk in the door, to show me what you've made out in the shop, to be waiting for me when I get home from work. You are the best part of my life and I miss you honey. Always and Forever, Marcia

Dad, We are missing you terribly and Fathers Day will never be the same. Life as we knew it will never be the same. All the firsts without you dad are so hard. We know you are watching over all of us. Loving and missing you, Always and Forever.
Love your daughter,
Jessie

Marica,

I am so sorry to hear about Patrick. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Cindy your bank teller at US BANK

Marcia, Jonica, Jessie, and Peter, I am so sorry to hear about Pat. Growing up next door to your family and spending time over there is something I will always remember. May your memories of the funtimes help you to get through your time of grieving.

Marcia and family,
No one can truly understand how you feel now, but know that you have many friends who care. May they comfort you in the difficult times ahead. God Bless.

Marsha, we were devastated to hear the news about Pat. We had so much fun for so many years on the deck at our house for happy hour. It was good to see you both a year ago. Our heart goes out to you and your family. Our family will miss him a lot. He and Dad are probably on a deck at the big lake in the sky haveing some smoked fish and an adult beverage.

Pat Jendro Family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. We are sorry for your loss. Working with Pat was an honor. God Speed to you all.
Gail and Julie (BrockWhite)

Pete Jendro Family,
