Psalm 118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.

During the final full week of September of 2003, Esther Hatcher, née Munn, was propped up near the window of her hospital room in Toledo Hospital.

The scene outside, with walkways, benches, and an abundance of grass, was reminiscent of the University of Toledo campus, just a couple of left turns away. Peering out the window, Mrs. Hatcher thought back to the previous week, a flashback that brought tremendous grief.

“All of a sudden waves of regret washed over me,” she said.
