Meet New Zealander Vivian Waller, the woman who is fighting a devastating illness, she is also the woman whom late actor Robin Williams sent a video message, making her bucket list shorter.

21-year-old Vivian Waller who is married and is a mother of one, was diagnosed with lung, bowel and liver cancer in January. Following the devastating sentence, Waller made a bucket list that included meeting Williams.

Unable to travel to the U.S., one of her pals reached out to the beloved actor — who responded a few months ago with a short clip emailed to her family, said a report by the Sunday Star Times in Auckland.

The Oscar-winning actor who hanged himself in his San Francisco home last Monday showed once again his famed generosity by telling Vivian on his video message

“Hi Vivian, it’s Robin Williams here saying ‘hey girl what’s going on down there in New Zealand,’”

“I’m sending all my love to you, Jack and Sophie,” he said. “Knock this off your bucket list.”

“much love to you, baby” then blew the young bride a kiss.

Husband Jack Waller told the paper his wife was thrilled beyond belief to receive the encouraging missive. Vivian’s husband said he decided to publicized Williams’ personal message because “we love him, we want to show people how awesome a person he was.”

Waller moved to a hospice the same day the news of the actor’s death came out; a day after the news of the actor’s death broke Jack said he had yet to bring the news of his passing to his wife.

“Today is going to be a very sad day for Vivian,” said an Aug. 12 post on her Facebook page. “The wonderful man Robin Williams, who took the time out to send Vivian and Jack a personal video message, has now passed away.”

According to the page and up until a few weeks ago, the mother of one needed to have injections (in her leg) morning and night, so they have chosen to live within 50 metres of both Vivian’s doctor and the only chemist locally that can do Vivian’s subcut meds, while Sophie lives with grandparents.
