Music & Memories
Broadcast for Sunday Dec 14, 2025
Covering the deaths from Dec 14-20, 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 the upcoming Christmas celebration advancing toward us, we are reminded to count our blessings. As we move through our grief pain, it's hard to imagine being thankful and counting our blessings? If we stop for a moment during this busy time of year and count our blessings we realize; we're not alone, we are truly blessed. It's as simple as being thankful for a new day, food on our tables, being able to care for ourselves and most important of all; being surrounded by people who love us! Surprising someone with an act of kindness can always lighten our grief pain; knowing our pain of grief will never go away completely but will get softer. May the love of Christmas over power the pain of grief so you may enjoy the blessings that surround you!

This program is dedicated to completely but
