Music & Memories
Broadcast for Sunday, July 5, 2026
Covering the deaths from July 5-11, 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. 
 
July 4th!! Celebrating 250 years of Life, Liberty and Freedom! Our Christian base founded our great country and as a Christian we believe our loved ones are in a better place. Grief loss is painful. Losing someone close to us to death is a real experience that we are never prepared for.  Celebrating our loved ones' heaven day is crucial for our healing. With the July 4th celebration it's important to recognize that two of our Presidents; President Thomas Jefferson who was 83 and John Adams who was 90 both died on July 4, 1826; 50 years after the writing of the Declaration of Independence. They died within five hours of each other. Imagine for a moment the grief pain felt there! As we've learned, life goes on and our pain does get softer along the way. Grief spares no one. Celebrate your loved ones’ anniversary day along with the 4th of July celebrating by sharing those stories and memories!
