Some goals written on panels inside the Community Hospice building on Spyres Way are relatively modest: take a class at Modesto Junior College, attend a symphony concert.

Some are grand: end homelessness.

Some are in between: visit all 50 states, ski in Japan.

At least one is heartbreaking: have a friend.

All can be conversation starters. Which is why Community Hospice created a Before I Die wall, joining a public art project that spans 76 countries and 38 languages.
