Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday Dec 7, 2025 Covering the deaths from Dec 7-13, 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 hustle and bustle of the upcoming Christmas season is upon us. It's natural to not want to take part in it all, when we are missing someone we love. There are ways to keep your loved one at the Christmas celebrations. Stop for a moment and remember what they used to do for Christmas, What foods, decorations and traditions did they love to partake in and do? You can adopt those for your own and honor your loved one during the Christmas holiday. Some folks will volunteer or buy food and gifts for a family in need. In their memory, you have the power to choose! Start making plans.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday Nov 23, 2025 Covering the deaths from Nov 23-29, 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. Thanksgiving is at our grasp challenging us in many realms as we are grieving; spiritual, emotional and physical. After losing someone we loved deeply our perspectives on life changes along with our beliefs. We have to fully focus on and prepare for holiday celebrations and Thanksgiving is the first of three major holidays. Thanksgiving is a gentle reminder to count our blessings. When our grief is so painful, you may find it a challenge to be thankful, but counting your blessings and being thankful may lift you up and shed some sunshine into your world. Remembering that “the deeper the love, the deeper the pain". The pain will soften as time goes on but our humanness never forgets. Enjoy your thanksgiving and time spent with loved ones. Count those blessings and you'll be amazed how the pain softens!

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday Nov 16, 2025 Covering the deaths from Nov 16-22, 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. Veterans day has come and gone and has become a powerful reminder to celebrate our Veterans living and deceased. It also signifies the many families who lost a loved one to death. As you move ahead in your personal journey, it helps to know you're not alone, and you are a survivor! Being a survivor and working on your new normal also assigns you the job of storyteller, keeping your loved one’s legacy alive. Without the sharing of the memories and stories; "our loved ones die a second death". Keep that legacy alive and you'll find peace along the way; it feels good too!

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday Nov 9, 2025 Covering the deaths from Nov 9-15, 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. When we lose someone close to us our whole world perspective changes. The rhythm of life is constantly colored by the relationships that surround us. We experience emotional heart pain never felt before. This pain can challenge our daily life routines and the very core of who we are. The "greater the love the greater the pain". This is where speaking out loud about your loved one and your emotions can help you move forward to healing. They're worth sharing those memories and stories and keeping their legacy alive; and now with their upcoming heaven anniversary day, that's all the more reason to share those memories and tell those stories.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday Nov 2, 2025 Covering the deaths from Nov 2-8, 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. Welcome to daylight savings time! Another change as we walk the road of life. When we stop to think, changes happen all around us all the time and we have no control or say in it. Death brings change as well and losing a loved one to death provides a very unwelcome change, with once again, no control on our part. This is where the term, "new normal" comes in. We are forced to change and life as we knew it will never be the same. Knowing this and understanding the new normal can assist in your pain and healing as you move forward. Change, maybe this is God's sense of humor? Let's learn to accept and celebrate change. This program is dedicated to the memory of: Anselm “Ansie” Sperl who died October 27, 2020 Ruth Searcy who died on November 2, 2024 Thomas “Tom” Stoermann who died November 2, 2023 Edward “Ed” Kantor who died November 2, 2021 George Kuhlmann who died November 2, 2016 Richard Hauschild who died November 2, 2011 Viola Kleve who died November 2, 2005 Alois Claseman who died November 3, 2024 Adam Lentz who died November 3, 2021 Dennis Ritter who died November 3, 2020 Richard “Hunk” Wolf who died November 3, 2016 Jacqueline “Jacie” Nietfeld who died on November 4, 2024 Bonnie Warner who died November 4, 2023 Helen Schleper who died November 4, 2012 Donna Athmann who died November 5, 2024 Sherry Rausch who died November 5, 2024 Frances Kron who died November 5, 2024 Luella Marthaler who died November 5, 2023 Jerome “Jerry” Schindler who died November 5, 2021 Helen Sand who died November 5, 1985 Marion Schumacher who died November 6, 2024 Frank Maleska who died November 6, 2024 Norbert Goebel who died November 6, 2010 William West who died November 7, 2024 John Sieben who died November 7, 2023 Kurt Klaphake who died November 7, 2023 Lillian Dullinger who died November 7, 2023 Werner Maus who died November 7, 2020 Jessica Groetsch Leagjeld who died November 7, 2019 Bonnie Koglin Hansen who died November 7, 2008 Mary Wehseler who died November 8, 2020 Elroy Clasemann who died November 8, 1996 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 Oct 26, 2025 Covering the deaths from Oct 26 – Nov 1, 2025 Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday Oct 19, 2025 Covering the deaths from Oct 19-25, 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. October is also known as a transitional month as we've experienced some gloomy days along with sun filled days; whether our grief pain knows of or doesn't care about the weather. The pain can seem stronger; you may feel sadder or more emotional with the weather. On these gloomy days for your self-care, you'll need to create your own sunshine and be more aware of your feelings. Laughter, a good book or movie or meeting up with a loved one are some ways to create your own sunshine. Be gentle with you.
