It seemed like a case of very bad timing that a small Cache Valley womenâs choir dedicated to comforting terminally ill patients in their final hours was formed last spring just before the cornavirus pandemic.
The all-volunteer group, called the Cache Valley Threshold Singers, had only visited one patient before their unique service became impossible to perform. Choir members could no longer safely gather to sing together, and even had they chosen to risk it, local care facilities were no longer allowing visitors.
Turns out the impossible had a workaround in the form of technology that has allowed the choir to record their songs without meeting in one place to sing. And now families wanting to comfort a dying loved one with this groupâs intimate choral music can simply download it and play it on a phone placed by a pillow.
