Alvin choir teacher dies minutes after students sing to her

Dozens of students from Alvin Jr. HS put on a special concert in support of their choir teacher in hospice

ALVIN, TX (KTRK) -- When students at Alvin Junior High School heard their beloved choir teacher was in hospice, they wanted to do more than just send her their thoughts and prayers. They decided they wanted to let Mrs. Mariana Walker know in person how much she meant to them using a tool she always loved - their voices.

More than a dozen students went Walker's home after school on Wednesday and sang Hillsong's "Oceans."

Cindi Lee Cooper - Fields recorded the heartwarming moment.
