An Edmonton woman with terminal cancer just received the most wonderful video messages from Ryan Reynolds, Dan Levy and a slew of other Canadian celebs.

On Monday, September 13, Twitter user Julie Rohr, who recently moved to hospice for her battle with a rare form of cancer called Leiomyosarcoma, was sent a message by Dan Levy.

"On behalf of the cast and crew of Schitt's Creek, we are so glad that you loved our show," said the Canadian actor. "We're so glad that it has brought you joy and we are all, each and every one of us, sending you so much love right now."

Julie's friend Hannah Hamilton filmed her reaction, which was absolutely heart-warming. Shortly after, Vancouver's own Ryan Reynolds also sent Julie a message.

"Just wanted to send you this little video and let you know that I'm thinking about you," said Reynolds. "I heard a little bit about your story and one of the things that struck me about your story is that you are beloved by so many people. I want to send lots of love, I know you've been going through it. Stay strong. Hope I get to meet you in person one of these days."

Not to be outdone, Colin Mochrie also sent Julie a sweet message.

"I hope you know how much you are loved and admired and respected," said the comedian. "You are a rare and special person and I'm just sending you all of my love. Stay strong."

And for a special treat, Julie and her husband had their own private concert with Canadian musician Chantal Kreviazuk.
