The Gift of Song: Bringing Comfort to the Dying
08/18/2010   Reported By: Josie Huang

An a cappella singing group in southern Maine is offering its music to bring some comfort to dying patients. The Harbour Singers Hospice Choir travels to nursing homes and hospices, singing to patients by their bedsides.
