HOSPICE HEROES Obituaries THE PROMISE Nancy Goldberg answered an ad in the paper asking for volunteers to visit the sick and elderly when she turned 16. "My parents said, 'Isn't that depressing. Don't you want to do something fun with your time?' I told them it's only depress- ing when no one shows up to visit." Now a retired educator and veteran Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy Network volunteer, Nancy dedicates her time to visiting hospice clients, many of whom can't communicate or respond. "I try to add some life to the room with music or conversation," Nancy says. "When you see a smile on their face because they anticipate a visitor, it is gratifying and I feel like I'm making a difference."
