Cassandra began the work and founded Project Nightlight. Its goal was to make sure anyone who went into a hospice program was never alone unless they wanted to be. We would sit and listen to the patient. We would sit and read books aloud. Most important, we would sit with them all night long. I was a part of this wonderful volunteer program for many years. From it, I learned one of life’s biggest lessons: true happiness can only come from being “of loving service to others.” Especially those in the last throes of life’s journey.
