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."
