  7. The love these two sisters share is amazing. I can’t even imagine being denied over and over like Connie. How incredibly difficult it must have been for Rosemary – having all these wonderful things in her new life, but still feeling so sad that Connie couldn’t share in that.

    I think you have all done a wonderful job highlighting just how dramatically this surgery changes your life. Thank you to EVERYONE who put so much love into this. xoxo

  8. Incredible video. I’m sooooooooo proud of everyone! Awesome stories, a life being saved. It just doesn’t get any better does it? Great GREAT job BTV!
