For most of his fans, he should be remembered for his infectious smile and laugh - and for his gracious heart. Thus, a family in New Zealand released Robin Williams' video of hope, which granted the wish of a fan with terminal cancer to 'meet' him.

The video clip said: "Hi, Vivian, its Robin Williams here saying 'Hey, girl, what's going on down there in New Zealand?' Sending all my love to you, Jack, and Sophie... Knock this off your bucket list. I said hey, hey, hey, what's goin' on, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, I'm just channeling Matthew McConaughey... Much love to you, baby..." Before he ended, he blew Waller a kiss.

The 38-second clip was so short but it did touch the heart of Vivian Waller, 21, who suffers from bowel, lung, and liver cancer. She was diagnosed a month after her wedding. She made a bucket list of things she wanted to do: (1) celebrate her 21st birthday, (2) see her daughter Sophie celebrate her first birthday, (3) get married, (4) travel to Rarotonga, and (5) meet Robin Williams. The only thing that is left in the bucket list is the travel to Rarotonga.

The Robin Williams' video of hope was made possible by a friend of Vivian, who cannot travel because of her condition. Jack, Vivian's husband, told the Sunday Star Times that he made the decision to share the message on the video clip because "we love him, we want to show people how awesome a person he was."

The Robin Williams' video of hope was sent to the family a few months before the award-winning actor's death. He died of alleged suicide after several years of fighting depression and addiction. A few days after, the wife of the 'Dead Poets Society' and 'Good Morning, Vietnam' star revealed that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
