Fortunately for her, one of her former students was working at the care home in Austinburg, Ohio.
Joshua Woodard had been under Maria’s tutelage since he was just 9 years old, so they had a strong connection.
Maria’s biggest and final wish was to hear the song “How Great Thou Art” before she passed away. Naturally, Joshua was more than willing to make her last wish come true.
With the song lyrics pulled up on his phone, he sang a sincere and heartfelt version of Maria’s favorite song.
