Music & Memories
Broadcast for Sunday, Aug 2, 2026
Covering the deaths from Aug 2-8, 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. 
 
With your loved one's Heaven day approaching, some of you are not looking forward to that reminder of your loved ones death and others are welcoming the gentle reminder to celebrate, remember and honor your love of them. With the death of your loved one comes a natural question of what's the new meaning and purpose of your life? Part of your self identity was formed by the relationship you had with your loved one. Life in itself is constantly in motion and change. Personal growth can come after the loss of your loved one because your new "Normal" creates a new meaning and purpose in your life. Celebrate your loved ones' Heaven day with laughter, tears, storytelling and being gentle with you.
