Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday June 15, 2025 Covering the deaths from June 15-21, 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. Our Flag Day celebration was yesterday and today we celebrate our fathers with Father's Day! Whether your dad is alive and well or has gone to heaven they helped give us life; thus, we honor them, always in our hearts. Today and this week is a good time to share the legacies of our fathers. Dig out the photo albums and pictures and share the stories behind those pictures. Sometimes it can be hard to talk about those who have gone before us, but in doing so, you'll be surprised at how good you'll feel as you laugh and cry through the sharing. Let's also dedicate today's program to our father's! This program is dedicated to the memory of: Agnes Muellner who died June 10, 1995 Marie Schreifels who died June 15, 1997 Michael Riesner who died June 15, 1968 Rose Mary “Rosie” Schmiesing who died June 16, 2023 Lenny Merdan who died June 16, 2021 John Ainali who died June 16, 2021 Patricia Pearce who died June 16, 2012 Aloysius “Jack” Rousslang who died June 16, 1974 John F.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday June 8, 2025 Covering the deaths from June 8-14, 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. 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!!

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday May 4, 2025 Covering the deaths from May 4-10, 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. May is here and so comes celebrations, graduations, weddings and Memorial Day. Once again as you move ahead in your grief journey you start looking ahead with anticipation and maybe even anxiety. Let's look at grief itself. Grief pain is experienced when the loss of someone close to you dies. Our whole body is impacted by the loss; physically, emotionally and spiritually. Our body has a built-in stress system which becomes activated by our grief pain and can lead to a variety of physical symptoms. Our stress hormones kick in and may lead to other health issues. Knowing is half the battle. Become friends with your grief pain and listen to what your body, mind and spirit are telling you. Take care of you!

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday Apr 20, 2025 Covering the deaths from Apr 20-26, 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. With Easter now a memory and May right around the corner, you may be experiencing the emptiness that comes after a holiday celebration. Just as grief pain has its ups and downs, so do we after a celebration. All the hustle and bustle along with many family and friends being around and now the quiet? Some of us welcome the silence while others crave the busyness. Our grief has needs of its own whether with or without others around. Only you can know what your needs are. Maybe with spring here it's time to prepare your garden or flower beds. Getting out in nature can help to fill your cup and heal your heart pain or meeting up with family and friends and maybe it's time to catch up with those old friends. April showers bring May flowers. This program is dedicated to the memory of: Joe Feldman who died April 22, 2021 Robert “Bob” Kirchner who died April 27, 2024 Bernadine “Bernie” Waldorf who died April 27, 2023 John Brinkmann who died April 27, 1999 Donald Zemler who died April 28, 2023 Richard Mareck who died April 28, 2023 Judy Mareck who died April 28, 2021 Melvin Lyon who died April 28, 2008 Lorraine Pommerian who died April 29, 2023 Mary Jane Duevel who died April 29, 2023 Gail Holm who died April 29, 2019 Joseph Kuefler who died April 29, 2015 Sharon Janssen who died April 30, 2022 Ken Kulzer who died April 30, 2020 Frieda Roelike who died April 30, 2017 Wynn Tuholsky who died April 30, 2009 Marilyn Theisen who died April 30, 2006 Edward Theis who died April 30, 2005 William “Bill” Baum who died April 30, 2000 Nick Bertram who died April 30, 1993 Mike Blenker who died April 30, 1978 Richard “Rick” Winczeski who died May 1, 2024 David “Dave” Bierschbach who died May 1, 2023 Alphonse “Al” Hartung who died May 1, 2021 Fr.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday Apr 20, 2025 Covering the deaths from Apr 20-26, 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. Happy Easter! After forty days of anticipation for the Easter celebration; today’s the day! If you celebrate the Easter holiday, you've walked the road with Jesus and his Mother Mary. Maybe your grief pain mirrors theirs. Whether you walked along the road with your loved one as they declined and died or you walked the road as Mother Mary, helplessly watching her son be crucified and dying. The pain of losing someone we love is real and should always be acknowledged. Jesus' resurrection displays to believers that there is life beyond death. Your loved one may physically be gone but their spirit is alive and well! Celebrate your loved ones this Easter by sharing the memories and telling the stories. Keep their legacy alive.
