<div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <strong> Broadcast for Sunday, May 31, 2026 <br/> Covering the deaths from May 31 - June 6, 2026 </strong> </p> <p> <span>   <br/> Good morning and welcome to Music & Memories.  <br/>   <br/> 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.  <br/>   <br/> Summer is here with its sunshine, singing birds, nature greening up and don't forget; lawn mowing. Routines. We all have routines we follow until we lose someone we love to death. Our routine has now been disrupted. That's where the "new normal" begins. What we considered our routine has now been changed. Our world as we knew it no longer exists. There has become an emptiness where our loved one once was included. Now we may find more time on our hands, thus creating that "new normal". As we venture forward there is a very important thing to never forget. Our loved one will always be in our heart, and no one can take that away. Be gentle with you as you begin your "new normal". </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> This program is dedicated to: </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Betty Bauer who died May 24, 2004 <br/> Shirley Wensman who died May 31, 2025 <br/> Mike Kuklok who died May 31, 2024 <br/> Edwin Butenhoff who died May 31, 2021  <br/>  Jim Waite who died May 31, 2019 <br/> Susan Zanda who died May 31, 2004 <br/> Eugene Schwanke who died May 31, 1988 <br/> Hilda Trobec who died May 31, 1965 <br/> Dorothy Carsten who died June 1, 2024 <br/> Bill Pallow who died June 1, 2020 <br/> Betty Jean Biggin who died June 1, 1994 <br/> Joseph Hieserich who died June 1, 1984 <br/> George Bieniek who died June 2, 2025 <br/> Allen Ehlert who died June 2, 2025 <br/> Ottilia Hieserich who died June 2, 1984 <br/> Barbara Burg Schlangen who died June 3, 2021 <br/> Jerome “Soupie” Vos who died June 3, 2019 <br/> Alma Enneking Mergen who died June 3, 2016 <br/> Eugene Schmidt who died June 3, 2010 <br/> Elaine Hinnenkamp who died June 3, 2002 </span> <strong> <br/> </strong> <span> Adeline Burg who died June 3, 1998 <br/> Maureen Luetmer who died June 4, 2025 <br/> Rose Spanier who died June 4, 2023 <br/> Dave Evans who died June 4, 2014 <br/> Henry Witt who died June 4, 2002 <br/> James “Uncle Jim” Beilke who died June 5, 2025 <br/> Larry Kruger who died June 5, 2025 <br/> Mary Magdziaras Kruzel who died June 5, 2011 <br/> Edmund Toenies who died June 5, 2010 <br/> Casper Capser who died June 5, 2007 </span> <strong> <br/> </strong> <span> Herman Marthaler who died June 5, 1997 <br/> Richard “Dickie” Rakotz who died June 6, 2025 <br/> Kenneth “Ken” Holthaus who died June 6, 2025 <br/> Jack Costello Jr. who died June 6, 2025 <br/> Bryan Kuebelbeck who died June 6, 2024 <br/> Eileen VanHeel Vanselow who died June 6, 1973 <br/> <br/> 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. </span> </p> </div>
