Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday Dec 15, 2024 Covering the deaths from Dec 15-21, 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. Mid December with January weather! Even mother nature has an attitude. We are fast approaching Christmas and all challenges it brings with it. A few ways to help you get through your Christmas in one piece are to plan for your Christmas celebrations. 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. This program is dedicated to the memory of: Robert “Bob” Kluempke who died December 6, 1989 Carol Linz who died December 7, 2023 Ferdinand “Ferd” Schmidtz who died December 8, 1980 Ed Geschwill who died December 10, 2022 Margaret Kersting who died December 11, 2024 Bill Geschwill who died December 11, 2013 Mary Ann Schmidtz who died December 12, 2013 Loretta Weinke who died December 14, 2022 Virgil Lenzmeier who died December 14, 2005 Kenneth “Ken” Groetsch who died December 15, 2023 Bernadette Larkey who died December 15, 2022 Caroline Hoagland who died December 15, 2021 Anna Lang who died December 15, 2000 Aloys Thielen who died December 15, 1975 Edward Watry Sr. who died December 16, 2008 Wayne Klein who died December 16, 1962 Margaret Terres who died December 16, 1947 Gerald “Jerry” Lahmers who died December 17, 2023 Herman Westendorf who died December 17, 2022 Carmen Lyon who died December 17, 2022 Richard “Rich” Schindler who died December 17, 2015 Marlene Douvier who died December 17, 2015 Don Gosiak who died December 17, 1994 Kimberly “Kim” Schmitz who died December 18, 2023 Neola Boyer who died December 18, 2022 Gene Geschwill who died December 18, 2013 Margaret Schreifels who died December 18, 2010 Edward “Eddie” Rudolph who died December 18, 1998 Maury Notch who died December 18, 1995 Cathy Groth who died December 19, 2022 Paul Heille who died December 19, 2022 Michael “Mike” Schiller who died December 19, 2021 Evelyn “Evy” Koop who died December 19, 2018 Jacob Wolbeck who died December 19, 2016 Mary Warner who died December 20, 2016 Shirley Strom who died December 21, 2023 Yvonne Notsch who died December 21, 2013 Jim Hoeschen who died December 21, 2012 Ron Blenkush who died December 21, 2007 Hubert Ritter who died December 21, 2001 Margaret Douvier who died December 21, 1998 Infant Mary Sand who died December 21, 1924 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.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday Dec 8, 2024 Covering the deaths from Dec 8-14, 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. Wow: By now winter has found us and Thanksgiving has become a memory. As our grief journey moves forward we are preparing our hearts and minds for the Christmas season. If your pain of grief is new, please know you don't have to follow the normal traditions. Holiday baking, decorating the tree, wrapping presents can be put off for now. Some find it comforting to continue with those traditions and others need to know it's ok if you skip a year. It's so important that you be you! It's exhausting to pretend and it's very ok to take a break. Do what you feel up to doing. It's enough sometimes just anticipating the upcoming celebrations, so stepping back' is ok and those who love you will understand. This program is dedicated to the memory of: Roe Ann Ostendorf who died November 27, 2024 Eileen Zeis who died December 3, 2023 Jame “Jimmy” Dufner who died December 6, 1991 Stanis Kulas who died December 7, 1992 George Rudolph who died December 7, 1989 Mary Gilyard who died December 8, 2023 Margaret Ostendorf who did December 8, 2023 Michael “Mike” Terwey who died December 8, 2022 James “Jim” Klein who died December 8, 2022 Roger Trobec who died December 8, 2020 Math Lang who died December 8, 2005 Elizabeth “Betty” Froh who died December 9, 2023 Doris Elfering who died December 9, 2022 Ralph Roelike who died December 9, 2022 Annella “Jackie” Clasemann who died December 9, 2021 Steve “Stevie” Landowski who died December 9, 2015 John Roske who died December 9, 1990 Gerhard Poepping who died December 9, 1983 Howard Rooney who died December 9, 1982 Rufina Sand who died December 10, 1994 Edna Middendorf who died December 10, 1989 Matt Heinen who died November 10, 1986 Evelyn Kennedy who died December 11, 2022 Rosalie “Rosie” Loxtercamp who died December 11, 2022 Ursula Lanners who died December 11, 2019 Fayadel Dudycha who died December 12, 2023 Edwin Proell, Jr. who died December 12, 2023 Randolph “Randy” Hittle who died December 12, 2023 Joan “Joanie” Beilke who died December 12, 2023 Ron Buntje who died December 12, 2021 Max Molus who died December 12, 2017 Raymond “Ray” Warner who died December 12, 2010 Elmer Eichers who died December 12, 2008 Walter Mahn who died December 12, 2005 Clarence “Sonny” Gertken who died December 12, 1993 Michael “Mike” Sauer who died December 13, 2023 Erna Spehn who died December 13, 2022 Alvin “Smiley” Lieser who died December 13, 2016 Jim Paggen wo died December 13, 2013 Monica Ramacher who died December 13, 2006 Loretta Wieneke who died December 14, 2022 Scott Kalla who died December 14, 2013 Jeanette Kerfeld who died December 14, 2009 Gerald Speaker who died December 14, 1996 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.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday Dec 1, 2024 Covering the deaths from Dec 1-7, 2024 OPEN 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 on KASM. This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one. As fast as Thanksgiving came upon us it has now become a memory. After preparing and anticipating the holiday, we now may feel empty and sad. Our grief journey can also bring days of emptiness and sadness. It helps to know this, too, will pass. It's ok to have feelings and sadness but acknowledging those feelings helps take the power away from them. It's when we keep our feelings locked inside that causes our pain, and emotions start to take over our world. By speaking out loud what you’re feeling, you take the power of the emotions away, and you gain control over your world. Remembering also that tears are a healthy way to cleanse your heart and soul. Shedding those tears, those love tears, surrounded by those who love you, shows how you loved and were loved back. Sharing memories, stories and tears are a very safe and healthy way to control those emotions. This program is dedicated to the memory of: Brenda Geise who died November 20, 2011 Rose Ann “Rosie” Wieneke who died November 22, 2024 Beverly Auer who died November 28, 2023 Alois Kociemba who died November 29, 2011 Susanna “Sue” Smith who died December 1, 2022 Bill Buerman who died December 1, 2020 Kathleen Burg who died December 1, 2018 Gertrude “Gertie” Cremers who died December 1, 2013 Estella Klemmer who died December 1, 2008 Leona MacArthur who died December 1, 1994 Bernard Arceneau who died December 2, 2021 Otto Thelen who died December 2, 2015 Marcella “Marcy” Blenker who died December 3, 2023 Pastor Robert Bernard, Jr. who died December 3, 2016 Michael Albert Bauer who died December 3, 1972 Herman Schaefer who died December 4, 2013 Edwin “Ed” Petermeier who died December 4, 2013 Marilyn Brick who died December 4, 1993 Marian Janssen who died December 5, 2023 Patrica “Patty” McCoy who died December 5, 2023 Bryan Goebel who died December 5, 2022 Bernard “Bernie” Schad who died December 5, 2011 Alex Cremers who died December 5, 2006 Alfred “Al” Hinnenkamp who died December 5, 2003 Stanley “Stan” Stalboerger who died December 6, 2023 Robert “Pete” Wippler who died December 6, 2005 Bruce Walz who died December 7, 2023 Carol Linz who died December 7, 2023 Cody Schuur who died December 7, 2022 Jerry Doschka who died on December 7, 2020 Joe Wolbeck Jr., who died December 7, 2014 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.

Music & Memories Broadcast for Sunday Nov 24, 2024 Covering the deaths from Nov 24-30, 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. It's almost here! The Thanksgiving holiday you've been anticipating. Now what? Knowing in advance some of the triggers you might come across will help you prepare for those "grief bursts". Some of those triggers may be the people you'll be around, photo frames in sight and conversations about you and your loved one are just a few to be aware of. Being aware of your personal grief is so important! If you find your caught off guard, stop, take a breath and drink a glass of water to help ground you. Thanksgiving is a time; although it may be painful; to recognize the blessings in your life to be thankful for. We really should never need a special day to remind us of thankfulness because we should be thankful for every new day and the love that always surrounds us. Share those special stories of your loved ones and keep their memory alive. May your Thanksgiving be all you wish it to be! This program is dedicated to the memory of: Bev Johnson who died November 10, 2021 Marilyn Stalboerger who died November 13, 1992 Ann Parsons who died November 20, 1994 Albert Schleper who died November 24, 2003 Mary E.

This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one. As mother nature provides the good days and the bad days; sunshine and gloom, so does your grief. One day you'll feel happy and the next day sad. Sometimes when we're happy we catch ourselves apologizing to our loved one cause we feel guilty not being sad that you're gone. With the winter season ahead, we know that gloomy , dark days will be a challenge. This is where you'll need to set a plan in place. Contact a friend, go out for coffee, to a movie, have friends over, work on your to do list; the list goes on. What's important is knowing it's ok to be sad but also knowing not to allow sadness to take over your life. Life is for living and your loved one would agree! Create your own sunshine!

This program is our way of reaching out to help families deal with those difficult days surrounding the death anniversary of a loved one. Upon entering November we find ourselves looking ahead to the Thanksgiving holiday with anticipation. Our last few days of October can be an example of a common occurrence with your grief, grief bursts. Sleety rain and snow showers occurred without much notice. As with grief bursts, grief bursts are a sudden intense wave of grief that can be triggered by something reminding you of your loved one. It can be a song, a place, a special movie, can be a smell, words or along with pictures; just to name a few. They can also pertain to certain events or holidays. Grief bursts come without any notice and just as fast as it came upon you, it is gone. Grief Bursts are yet another normal physical and emotional occurrence in our lives, just like mother nature with her weather!
