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.
