Obituaries HOSPICE HEROES. MAKE LIFE BETTER Barbara Greenberg says she needed to spend her retirement in a meaningful way, so she volunteers for the Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy Network. "It helps me live a more Jewish life," she says. "It means giving of yourself and connecting with each other." As a child Barbara visited the elderly and infirm with her father, a physician who made house calls. Later, when Barbara's father was dying, a hospice volunteer helped her family through that difficult time. Today, Barbara visits with clients and helps them remember happier days. "Our hospice clients are the true heroes, and if I didn't do this, I would have missed knowing the most wonderful, devoted and loving people." Barbara says. "These are opportunites that enrich my own life." The * Barbara Greeilberg is one t)f the Hospice Heroes who ensures No Jew Is Ever Alone Yeshiva jEWISH6SPICE & CHAPLAINCY NETWORK - 6555 W.
