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!

This program is dedicated to the memory of:
