Death is the only thing that is permanent in the world which keeps changing and we know that we all have to die at one point of the time. For elderly people hospices are one of the best places where they can be taken care of, in their final days by staff and nurses who are specialized in making the final few days of a person comfortable and making their transition from this world to the heaven, a more comfortable one.
One such hospice worker is the focus of this news as you will come to know. An elderly patient admitted to the hospice was given a surprise by this hospice worker which was captured on video by the daughter-in-law of the patient. It has now become one of the best memories of the family. See what he did for the patient.
An aged patient was admitted in the Austinburg Nursing & Rehab Center in Ohio. The patient was Mary, the mother-in-law of Marti Redmond. Mary was counting her last days and was admitted in the hospice for care, so that she could say goodbye to the world in comfort and die peacefully. All the nurses and staff took care of Mary to the best of their abilities, but one nurse had a special bond with her. That nurse was Joshua Woodward, who was once a student of Mary. Mary taught Joshua piano and voice training since he was nine.

“Hospice workers are angels but this hospice aide is special,” said Mary’s daughter-in-law, Marti. “Mary taught voice and piano in her day and this aide Joshua Woodard was one of her students as a kid. Special people hospice workers are!”
Joshua always took great care of Mary and when her final hours were left, he decided to give her a special thank you and good bye and went near her bed. He began singing his favorite Christian hymn “How Great Thou Art.” Being a trained singer, Joshua sang the hymn melodiously. You can hear Joshua sing the hymn and with his booming voice and modulations in the song, he will give you goosebumps. We all know what the end for all of us will be and it is nice to know that there are people in the world who help making the last few moments of people memorable and beautiful.
