Dear Hempel family, I want to thank you for creating such an important video. We lost my grandmother a few years ago after a 4 year fight with Dementia. It was heartbreaking, and the feeling of hopelessness was just overwhelming. I pray that some miracle happens for you, as I cannot fathom losing 2 beautiful children like yours. Good luck, and my prayers to you,

Hello Girls!
We are praying for you. You are teaching millions of others people that joy comes from God, even in the midst of the trial you are fighting and showing others to not give up. God bless.
