The “Candid Camera” co-host continued, “The message on the card reminded me of a voice I heard, as clear as day, when I was in the hospital about 10 years ago. It said, ‘It’s not who you are. It’s not what you have. It’s not what you do. It’s just about who you love and who loves you. The voice is so loud and clear, it’s as if it’s coming through a speaker system.”
