Maria, a former music teacher in her final days at an assisted living facility in Austinburg, Ohio, had one heartfelt wish: to hear her favorite hymn, “How Great Thou Art.”
Fortunately, Joshua Woodard, one of her former students, was there to fulfill her request. Joshua, who had known Maria since he was nine, gave a touching performance of the hymn using lyrics on his phone.
Maria’s sister-in-law captured the poignant moment on film, showcasing the deep bond between teacher and student and honoring the compassionate care of hospice workers. Maria has since passed, but her story remains a testament to the power of music and kindness.
