Music & Memories

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday July 6, 2025 Covering the deaths from July 6-12, 2025 Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories. This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one. By now your 4th of July celebrations are ongoing. Your grief emotions may have challenged you while you were attending the celebration and when we think of celebrating, our grief pain likes to stop us from having a good time. Grief emotions are unpredictable and as with our emotions, like to think they're in charge. Dealing with your grief starts by recognizing and naming it. For example: "I feel sad today". By saying this out loud you have recognized your feelings and taken the power away. You may not like the word celebration for now, but a good get-together is very healing! Let's take a moment to recognize and honor all those men and women who fought for the freedom we live today; including the freedom to grief! This program is dedicated to the memory of: Patrick O’Donnell who died July 5, 2022 Rose Primus who died July 5, 1972 Riverlynn VanNorman who died July 6, 2023 Frieda Sand-Kerfeld who died July 6, 2001 Lois “Giggles” Rieland who died July 7, 2024 Leo Schneider who died July 7, 2005 Agatha Roering who died July 7, 1990 Hubert Barthel who died July 7, 1967 William “Bill” Nietfeld who died July 8, 2024 Raymond Ostendorf who died July 8, 2021 Herman Behnen Sr. who died July 8, 1969 Michael “Zeke” Deters who died July 9, 2024 Rick Rieland who died July 9, 2021 Eugene “Gene” Athmann who died July 9, 2012 Henry Feldewerd who died July 9, 1971 David Doucette who died July 10, 2024 Tom Justin who died July 10, 2019 Leander “Lee” Roering who died July 10, 2011 Henry Kampsen who died July 10, 2001 Veronica Weber who died July 10, 2000 Le Roy “Roy” Vos who died July 11, 2015 Valerian Janssen who died July 11, 2010 Connie Fiddler Bursken who died July 11, 2009 Sister Mary Neil Notch who died July 11, 1995 Katherine Ostendorf who died July 11, 1978 Carol Norris who died July 12, 2023 Mae Beste who died July 12, 2023 Edwin Koening who died July 12, 2022 Gary Buttweiler who died July 12, 2011 Bryan Silbernagel who died July 12, 2009 Rose Roering who died July 12, 1990 Henry Salzl who died July 12, 1988 We encourage you as family and friends to show that you care by remembering these families, this week, with a phone call, a card, or a visit.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday June 29, 2025 Covering the deaths from June 29 – July 5, 2025 Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories. This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one. The end of June this year is bringing lots of well-needed rain. As rainy days go, there are clouds and dreariness. As with our grief pain we can experience the rainy days and warm sunshine days. Some say the rain is cleansing from above, and clearing out the air, while our tears clear out and detoxify our bodies. Tears are full of love and healthy when allowed to come forward. They remind us of the love we shared with those who have died. There can also be happy tears as we share those memories and stories and are laughing uncontrollably. Don't be scared to dance in the rain to your own music! Enjoy the cleansing from above and don't forget, July 4th is right around the corner and you'll want to spend it, surround yourself with those who love you. This program is dedicated to the memory of: Donald “Don” Lemley who died June 29, 2023 David Kleve who died June 29, 2023 Bernice Doege who died June 29, 2021 Vivian Bertram who died June 29, 2021 Nicole Diane Athmann who died June 29, 1988 Harold Rohde who died June 30, 2024 Malayna Schultz who died June 30, 2023 Alma Sand Pundsack who died June 30, 2000 Adeline Hartung who died June 30, 2016 Randy Rieland who died July 1, 2024 Art Wiswell who died July 1, 1965 Daniel “Dan” Kulas who died July 2, 2023 Doreen Kaesner who died July 2, 2022 Kenneth “Kenny” Faber who died July 2, 1993 George Gill who died July 2, 1956 Ardell Koehn who died July 3, 2024 Margaret “Margie” Yurczyk who died July 3, 2024 Arnie Molus who died July 3, 2024 Celestine “Red” Schneider who died July 3, 2017 Bernard Simon who died July 3, 1989 John Arceneau who died July 4, 2024 Dennis “Denny” Weiner who died July 4, 2023 Steven Zimmerman who died July 4, 2017 Thomas Holdvogt who died July 5, 2022 Marge Czech who died July 5, 2012 Lorraine Kroska who died July 5, 2010 Donald Welle who died July 5 2004 Lois Wiechmann-Doll who died July 5, 1999 We encourage you as family and friends to show that you care by remembering these families, this week, with a phone call, a card, or a visit.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday June 22, 2025 Covering the deaths from June 22-28, 2025 Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories. This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one. As your summer continues on, you may be asking yourself, or catching yourself having a good time, then stopping for a moment to scold yourself because you've lost someone you love and are supposed to be sad. We then have to ask ourselves what would our loved one be telling us? They would expect us to go to celebrations and take them with you in our heart. Remember your loved one is proud of you for living life. Yes, a part of you died with them but another part of you needs to live for them! Be gentle with you and although it may be a challenge to go to these celebrations... Give yourself credit and celebrate your love of them and their love of you!

Let's also dedicate today's program to our father's!

This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one. June is certainly here and as we move into June and all the activities we are anticipating; let's prepare. It's a little scary and sad at times to know your loved one won't be going with you physically to these celebrations. Spiritually you can take your loved one with you knowing they are always in your heart. As a gentle reminder you can take your loved one with you by putting together a small photo album with your loved one’s pictures in it or taking a favorite picture of your loved one in your pocket or purse. When you're at the celebration and become sad, lonely and/or overwhelmed, pull it out to remind you, you're not alone. Your loved one is there with you.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday May 25, 2025 Covering the deaths from May 25-31, 2025 Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories. This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one. The Memorial Day dedication is upon us. This day originated after the Civil War as a way to honor, remember and pay respect to those men and women who died while serving their country. We also use this day to remember and honor our loved ones who have gone before us. This is a day of remembering and honoring their legacy. We, the survivors, have become the storytellers. Our loved ones' legacy will die with them if we don't share and tell their stories. Memorial Day tends to be a somber holiday so share this day of observance with those who love you. Cry and laugh together with lots of hugs! This program is dedicated to the memory of: Ceil Hedglin who died May 24, 1977 Beatrice Tschida who died May 25, 2015 Veronica Brinkmann who died May 25, 2001 Leo Katzner who died May 25, 1976 James “Jim” Jungers who died May 26, 2023 Florentine Hens who died May 26, 2022 Mary Schad who died May 27, 2024 Veronica “Froney” Frie who died May 27, 2017 Jeff Trobec who died May 27, 2009 Benedict Hoppe who died May 27, 2001 Margaret Dobis who died May 27, 1998 Alquin Ritter who died May 27, 1986 Victor “Vic” Odegard who died May 28, 2024 James “Jim” Felling who died May 28, 2023 Marilyn (Notsch) Simon who died May 28, 2012 Vernie Cigelske who died May 28, 2018 Berthold “Bert” Waldorf who died May 29, 2024 Leory Stich who died May 29, 1985 Bernadine Kramer who died May 29, 1983 Thomas “Tom” Guenther who died May 30, 2023 Dale Wegleitner who died May 30, 2023 Judy Cunningham who died May 30, 2017 Mike Kuklok who died May 31, 2024 Edwin K.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday May 18, 2025 Covering the deaths from May 18-24, 2025 Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories. This is Linda Sue, and I am the grief specialist at Patton-Schad Funeral Home. It is my pleasure to bring you this week’s program. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one. As is normal with the middle of May, the birds are back with their musical sounds, the grass is growing, fields and gardens are being planted, and life is coming alive everywhere! Sometimes after we've lost someone, we were close to death we might not care or even notice that life is coming alive again. As we move forward on our grief journey, we start to realize that life doesn't stop, and the world keeps turning. We have choices, we can continue to allow our grief pain to be in charge of who we are and what we do or, we can take charge and live again! Our loved ones wouldn't want that grief pain to consume us, they'd want us to find peace and enjoy the life we were blessed with. We know our sadness may come and go but we also know life is worth living! Get out and enjoy nature!! This program is dedicated to the memory of: Emmy Schleppenbach who died May 4, 2020 Edward Douvier who died May 10, 1996 Julianna Kahl who died May 11, 2009 Theresa Gerads who died May 11, 1999 Raymond “Ray” Ostendorf who died May 18, 2021 Leona Voller who did May 18, 2019 Joan Raab who died May 18, 2011 Jim Tiemann who died May 18, 2010 Adella Wuertz who died May 18, 2006 Charles “Charlie” Booth who died May 18, 1972 Robert Feierabend who died May 19, 2024 Neil Middendorf who died May 19, 2024 Katelyn Nolting who died May 19, 2023 Hildegard Birr who died May 19, 1993 Louis Raab who died May 19, 1971 Ludwina Ostendorf who died May 20, 2022 Jim Anderson who died May 20, 2021 Alex Marthaler who died May 20, 2014 Gary Boecker who died May 20, 1982 Katherine Schreifels who died May 20, 1970 Thomas “Tom” Limberis who died May 21, 2024 Mary Ann Amundson who died May 21, 2023 Tabitha “Lila” Opsal who died May 21, 1996 Henry Tiemann who died May 21, 1994 Marcella Michels who died May 21, 1989 Rita Marie Hiltner who died May 23, 2023 Maddie Wehseler who died May 23, 2019 Rita Hiltner who died May 24, 2024 Bernadine Muellner who died May 24, 2012 Betty Bauer who died May 24, 2004 We encourage you as family and friends to show that you care by remembering these families, this week, with a phone call, a card, or a visit.
