Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday February 16, 2025 Covering the deaths from Feb 16-22, 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. President’s Day is tomorrow and as we celebrate our Presidents, let’s not forget that they too are human, and many have experienced loss of loved ones to death. Two of the many, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, come to mind. President Lincoln mourned the losses of his two sons; Edward aged 4 and William aged 11, while he was in office. President Roosevelt's first wife died before he was elected and a son who died at the age of 21. Who we are and the place we fill in the world doesn't stop death, pain or grief. They too felt the stabbing heart pain of loss, were depressed, sad, melancholy and even angry. All the emotions we've felt they too have felt! In the words of Abraham Lincoln... "In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all…it comes with bitterest agony…Perfect relief is not possible except with time. You cannot realize that you will ever feel better…and yet this is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now. I have experienced enough to know what I say." This program is dedicated to the memory of: Virginia Shay who died February 5, 2016 Dennis Shay who died February 6, 2016 Eunice Thell Oswald who died February 7, 2017 Bernice Kluempke who died February 13, 2020 Ann Gominsky who died February 15, 2015 Edwin Wieber who died February 15, 2003 Alfred Slivnik who died February 16, 2020 LeRoy Schulte who died February 16, 2000 Norbert Hiltner who died February 16, 1995 Bill Goebel who died February 16, 1972 Gene Braegelmann who died February 17, 2018 Alvina “Sandy” Koglin who died February 17, 2010 Paul Kuklok who died February 17, 2009 Agnes Hiltner who died February 17, 1997 Donald Gertken who died February 17, 1993 Mary McKenney who died February 17, 1976 Allen Taufen who died February 17, 1961 Donald “Donnie” Lenarz who died February 18, 2024 Lorene “Lori” Zierden who died February 18, 2024 Jeanette Barth who died February 18, 2023 Ronnie McKenny who died February 18, 2002 Alma Schulte who died February 18, 2021 Marilyn Borgerding who died February 18, 2018 Randy Vossen who died February 18, 1996 John Bischof who died February 18, 1974 Jane Martin who died February 19, 2023 Rose Schaefer who died February 19, 2019 Peter Van Beck who died February 20, 2024 Al Sanoski who died February 20, 2021 Gregory Thomas who died February 20, 2006 Dolores Maleska who died February 21, 2024 Judie Hennes who died February 21, 2020 Hubert Sunderman who died February 21, 2013 Linda Paavola who died February 22, 2023 Richard Janssen who died February 22, 2022 Harold “Harry” Bassett who died February 22, 2013 Leona Heying who died February 22, 2000 Edwin Hiltner who died February 22, 2000 We encourage you as family and friends to show that you care by remembering these families, this week, with a phone call, a card, or a visit.

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 month of February brings Valentine’s Day, the day of Love! When we've lost a loved one to death, they seem to always be on our mind and most definitely in our hearts. With the upcoming holiday of Love, how will you celebrate the love of the one you lost? Some folks don't celebrate this holiday at all and that's ok. Other ideas may be to take hot chocolate and cupcakes out to the cemetery or meet up with family and friends to celebrate the love you shared. Write a love letter to your loved one, light a candle and spend time remembering those memories. Whatever you choose to do is always ok. It's your grief journey! continue to tell those stories and share those memories. This program is dedicated to the memory of: John Ostendorf who died February 5, 2024 Jerome “Jerry” Rothstein who died February 7, 2022 MaryAnn Moog who died February 9, 2023 Sherwin “Herm” Tschida who died February 9, 2011 Ralph Middendorf who died February 9, 2004 Thomas “Doc” Pfannenstein who died February 9, 2004 Dawn Crosby who died February 10, 2023 LaVerne Aiken who died February 10, 2022 Bernice Tieman Koetter who died February 10, 2008 Delores Hagemann who died February 10, 2004 Mildred “Millie” Gillitzer who died February 10, 1996 Rose T.

This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one. Wow! the January thaw has allowed us warm and sunny days to enjoy outside. When we talk about our grief journey it not only includes the emotions we are feeling it also includes our physical well-being. Being aware of our bodily needs like food, the proper amount of sleep, fresh air and sunshine are so important! These are very important to grieving in a healthy manner. Feeling loved and laughter are also very important to our well-being. As our feelings surface, you'd be surprised as to how you'd feel after taking a walk in nature and soaking up the sunshine. Call a friend and get outside to take advantage of the gifts mother nature is providing. Take Time for YOU! This program is dedicated to the memory of: MaryAnn Gerads who died January 24, 2011 Jacob Lieser who died January 28, 1996 Ray VanHavermaet who died February 1, 2001 Helen “Kitty” Wedel who died February 1, 1982 John C.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday January 26, 2025 Covering the deaths from Jan 26-Feb 1, 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. Whether our loved one is newly gone or it's been a long time now, we still miss them dearly. It's easy to allow our grief pain to take control over who we are. If you're feeling you have no control, it's time to remember you have a choice about who you're becoming and what you are doing. Ask yourself "do I like who I am right now?" If the answer is no, it's time to change this new normal. We all have gut feelings, and we also know what happens if we don't listen to those gut feelings. Feelings/emotions are a huge part of grieving but should never be in control of who we are! This is where one needs to find a good listening ear and talk it all out. By doing so you have started to take your life back. Speaking out loud, tears and laughter are a healthy way and a great beginning to a new, refreshing you! This program is dedicated to the memory of: Darlene Kuhl who died January 20, 2013 Ronald Eisenschenk who died January 23, 2020 Irene Block who died January 23, 1989 Joseph “Joe” Claseman who died January 26, 2024 Don Gaebel who died January 26, 2022 Dorothy Eisenschenk who died January 26, 2019 Mae Lyon who died January 26, 2018 Robert Slivnik who died January 26, 2014 Gery Czech who died January 26, 2013 Mary Pallow who died January 26, 2011 Josepha “Sapha” Kerfeld who died January 26, 2009 Andy Roering who died January 26, 2006 Hugo Lieser who died January 26, 2004 Andrew J.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday January 19, 2025 Covering the deaths from Jan 19-25, 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. We are over the middle of January which brings us digging a little deeper into the details of grief. Let's talk about the four cycles of grief. The first one, shock/numbness, appears right after the loss of your loved one. You ask yourself, "Did this really happen?", "Are you really gone?". The second one is yearning/searching; missing your loved one and searching for them in all you do. The third one is disorganization/despair; feelings of not being in control, disorganized, along with the loss of hope. Reorganization/recovery is the last one; this is the final cycle where your new normal has begun; and you feel in control, and you're organized and on the road to recovery. We need to always remember our pain of grief gets softer with time, but never really goes away. We have loved and to love deeply we also grieve deeply. This program is dedicated to the memory of: Jerome “Jerry” Thell who died January 9, 2003 James Stalboerger who died January 13, 2020 Arnold Kortenbusch who died January 13, 2008 Ralph Muellner who died January 15, 2022 Richard Roering who died January 15, 2019 Mary Jane Schneider who died January 16, 2014 Clarence Fischer who died January 19, 2021 Carol A.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday January 12, 2025 Covering the deaths from Jan 12-18, 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 new year comes New Year's resolutions and by now your resolutions have been forgotten or are over. Grief also provides us resolutions; self-talk. We can allow the pain of grief to overtake us or we can resolve our grief by allowing ourselves to feel those ever present emotions and allowing them to surface through talking about those emotions or through tears. By doing so, allowing, you may feel a sense of relief. If we don't speak out our feelings of grief, those very feelings control us. By speaking out we take the control away and in charge again. With the new year celebrate the love of your loved one and celebrate you! This program is dedicated to the memory of: Fredrick Hennemann who died December 14, 2019 Louella Richter who died January 6, 2002 James “Jim” Yurczyk, Sr. who died January 10, 2007 Gary Schleppenbach who died January 10, 1999 Herman Slivnik who died January 11, 1968 David “Davey” Friedrichs who died January 12, 2024 Bernadette Trobec who died January 12, 2018 Lorraine Hiltner who died January 12, 1988 Arnold Scholz who died January 13, 2023 Debbie Trobec who died January 13, 2023 Maureen Pivic who died January 13, 2022 Ryan Ritter who died January 13, 2019 Eunie Grausam who died January 13, 2017 Ervin Haskamp who died January 13, 1988 Bradley Middendorf who died January 14, 2002 Amber Moscho who died January 14, 1987 Nick Moscho Sr. who died January 14, 1972 Gary Lange who died January 15, 2024 Lorraine Fischer who died January 15, 2024 Diane Honeck who died January 15, 2023 Linda Welz who died January 15, 2023 Rita Vos who died January 15, 2013 Jason Michels who died January 16, 2024 Adella Ehlert who died January 16, 2007 Otto Kaschmitter Jr. who died January 17, 2020 Walter Beuning who died January 18, 2023 Larry Jonas who died January 18, 2023 Rudolph Muellner who died January 18, 1992 We encourage you as family and friends to show that you care by remembering these families, this week, with a phone call, a card, or a visit.

This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one. Happy New Year! A new year brings new beginnings and new memory making. After the holidays we always experience a natural low. Preparing and anticipating the holidays has kept our grief pain at a somewhat standstill and now the grief pain is back full blast! With the new year comes an overwhelming urge to look far ahead. With grief we should back up and take one day at a time. One can certainly fill their yearly calendar but don't allow it to overwhelm you! Always try to celebrate the here and now; the moment and your anxiety will be minimal. Continue to share those memories and tell those stories and hey, it's time to create more memories and stories! This program is dedicated to the memory of: Norma Vouk who died December 30, 2020 Clarence Ritter who died January 3, 2013 James “Jim” Kramer who died January 5, 2024 Susan Kobe who died January 5, 2022 Dolores Wehlage who died January 5, 2005 Anthony J.

As fast as it came in like a train, the caboose is out of sight! All of your preparing and anticipation is now over. There is a natural high and low that comes with the holidays.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday Dec 22, 2024 Covering the deaths from Dec 22-28, 2024 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. We are now only days away from our Christmas celebration and normally you may be looking forward to this. This Christmas is without a special someone and it's hard to find joy. With our transition from Autumn to now winter, our grief follows. Seasonal grief is very common during this time of year. Our days have become shorter, nature around us has become dormant and we are missing our loved one. Feelings of hopelessness and depression set in. It’s important to remember that grief is a normal reaction when losing someone we love. It’s also normal for your grief to ebb and flow. This is the time to be gentle with you and know it won't always be this way. Share those memories, tears, laughter, and stories to all! You'll be surprised how good it will feel. This program is dedicated to the memory of: Frederick Hennemann who died December 14, 2019 Leonora Meyer who died December 21, 2002 Leonard Douvier who died December 22, 2003 Marcella Walz who died December 22, 1997 Huldah Schieffer who died December 22, 1952 Julie Jensen who died December 23, 2023 Dorothy Hollenkamp who died December 23, 2023 Jennifer Ashbaugh who died December 23, 2022 Merle Long who died December 23, 2011 Alma Brockman who died December 23, 1995 Daniel “Dan” Schoenberg who died December 24, 2022 Elmer “Fud” Hellermann who died December 24, 2022 Regina Wessel who died December 24, 2009 Ludwina Westendorf who died December 24, 2004 Raymond “Ray” Pundsack who died December 24, 1989 William Primus who died December 24, 1988 Joe Schumer who died December 25, 2021 Joan Dobmeier who died December 25, 2019 Harold Warnert who died December 25, 2006 Frances Clasemann who died December 25, 1998 Judy Leyk who died December 26, 2000 Lena Lemke who died December 26, 1994 Edna Soltis Euteneuer who died December 26, 1993 Marvin Lange who died December 26, 1971 Margaret Scherer who died December 27, 2022 Mary Kerfeld who died December 27, 2022 Mel Kammers who died December 28, 2021 Johnny Vouk who died December 28, 2007 We encourage you as family and friends to show that you care by remembering these families, this week, with a phone call, a card, or a visit.

Last week we talked about anticipating those celebrations but now let's plan for your Christmas. Having a plan can take some of the stress and anxiety away. Be kind and gentle to yourself; you need time; you need time for you, so know that it's ok to say no and not commit to others. It is ok that you don't do what you've normally done every year. Christmas celebrating goes along with how you feel. Allow yourself time to breathe, feel those feelings and cry. Crying those love tears are healthy for you and very cleansing. After a good cry be sure to drink a glass of water to refill. Remembering; Jesus is the reason for the season.
