Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday, July 5, 2026 Covering the deaths from July 5-11, 2026 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. July 4th!! Celebrating 250 years of Life, Liberty and Freedom! Our Christian base founded our great country and as a Christian we believe our loved ones are in a better place. Grief loss is painful. Losing someone close to us to death is a real experience that we are never prepared for. Celebrating our loved ones' heaven day is crucial for our healing. With the July 4th celebration it's important to recognize that two of our Presidents; President Thomas Jefferson who was 83 and John Adams who was 90 both died on July 4, 1826; 50 years after the writing of the Declaration of Independence. They died within five hours of each other. Imagine for a moment the grief pain felt there! As we've learned, life goes on and our pain does get softer along the way. Grief spares no one. Celebrate your loved ones’ anniversary day along with the 4th of July celebrating by sharing those stories and memories! This program is dedicated to:  Eileen Garding who died June 19, 2009 Doreen Kapsner who died July 2, 2022 Rodney Lanners who died July 4, 2020 Steven Zimmerman who died July 4, 2017 Irene Wallin who died July 5, 2025 Thomas Holdvogt who died July 5, 2022 Mark Uphoff who died July 5, 2021 Marjorie Adrian 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 Frieda Sand Kerfeld who died July 6, 2001 Lois “Giggles” Rieland who died July 7, 2024 Dorothy Bechtold Schulte who died July 7, 2020 Sister Darlene (Marie) Schindler who died July 7, 2017 Leo Schneider who died July 7, 2005 Agatha Adrian Roering who died July 7, 1990 Mary Rennie Pfannenstein who died July 7, 1978 William “Bill” Nietfeld who died July 8, 2024 Dorreen Arens who died July 9, 2025 Ronald “Ron” Hoppe who died July 9, 2025 Michael “Zeke” Deters who died July 9, 2024 Rick Rieland who died July 9, 2021 Elsie Lodermeier Stephanie who died July 9, 2019 Russel “Russ” Vogel who died July 10, 2025 David Doucette who died July 10, 2024 Raymond “Ray” Ostendorf who died July 10, 2021 Henry Kampsen who died July 10, 2001 Veronica Weber who died July 10, 2000 Tom Justin who died July 10, 2019 David Herdering who died July 10, 1980 LeRoy “Roy” Vos who died July 11, 2015 Sister Mary Neil Notch who died July 11, 1995 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 28, 2026 Covering the deaths from June 28 - July 4, 2026 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 with all the seasons, summer brings on summer triggers like attending baseball games, grilling out, picnics and family reunions to name a few. You're reminded that one person will not be attending this year or you've adjusted to your loved one not being present, but their memory reminds you of how they loved the summer events. It's important to recognize how you feel and honor those feelings. It's very normal to feel what you are feeling. The deeper the love, the deeper the pain. As you move forward on your journey you'll learn to experience Joy right alongside the sadness of loss.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday, June 14, 2026 Covering the deaths from June 14-20, 2026 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. How is your summer going so far? When we lose someone, we deeply loved to death, we sometimes forget we have choices of who we are and how to feel. Sadness of your loss is a normal reaction along with anger, guilt and the should haves. Yes, it's true, we can allow all those emotions to take control over us and our lives, but that is never healthy. Why waste a day allowing those emotions to control you when you could be enjoying your day? When an emotion wants to take you over, identify the emotion, feel it and speak it out loud to take its power away. Now you can go on with your day still missing them but being in control of your emotions. After all, your loved ones wouldn't want you to be sad but would want you to find peace and enjoy your day.

Broadcast for Sunday, May 31, 2026 Covering the deaths from May 31 - June 6, 2026 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. Summer is here with its sunshine, singing birds, nature greening up and don't forget; lawn mowing. Routines. We all have routines we follow until we lose someone we love to death. Our routine has now been disrupted. That's where the "new normal" begins. What we considered our routine has now been changed. Our world as we knew it no longer exists. There has become an emptiness where our loved one once was included. Now we may find more time on our hands, thus creating that "new normal". As we venture forward there is a very important thing to never forget. Our loved one will always be in our heart, and no one can take that away. Be gentle with you as you begin your "new normal".
