As news spread of a Spring Grove Area High School guidance counselor’s collapse after a run on Jan. 1, friends and former students shared a video she made — dancing in her office. Carrie Schmoyer collapsed Jan. 1 after a run. After being hospitalized for nearly two weeks, her family moved Schmoyer to a hospice center. The video, from the 2014-2015 school year, shows high schoolers and staff dancing in the hallways, offices, the auditorium and outside the school to “Happy” by Pharrell Williams. Among other school staff members, Schmoyer is seen dancing in her office. ... While sharing the video, the residents shared their memories of Schmoyer, how they loved her, how she helped them and the GoFundMe account, which has raised close to $50,000 since it started Jan. 6. 
Editor's note: This touching tribute reminds us that each person receiving hospice is connected to a much larger community of people who are impacted by this person's living and dying.
