....... I. .111111110*• Obituaries HOSPICE HEROES KEEP THE PROMISE Abba Stoll may be the littlest Hospice Hero, but by no means are his contributions small. Once a week Abba and his Bubbe Shaindy visit with Clara, a 97- year-old palliative care patient who was reticent to invite adult social workers into her home. Unlike adults, Abba communi- cates with Clara by looking at pictures, playing BINGO or just sharing a snack. Every visit ends with a hug and a kiss. "Abba's visits totally change Clara's demeanor and remind her of younger, happier times," says Shaindy. "Abba has awakened her spirit, so now Clara doesn't feel like she's at the end. Abba's visits give her a new beginning." NO JEW IS EVER ALONE Abba Stoll is one of the Hospice Heroes who keeps the promise so that No Jew Is Ever Alone The jEWISH6SPICE CHAPLAINCY NE RVORIC 6555 W.
