WOMAN WITH DEMENTIA STUNS WITH RENDITION OF SINATRA'S 'MY WAY'

Tiffany Knapp provided the lifesaving transplant for her father, Richard Burdge, back in September. Days after the procedure, she was able to walk into this room, and then was wheeled over to his bedside.

The family had been searching for a donor for the 63-year-old since December but hadn’t been able to find a match until Knapp reached six months post-partum and was able to be tested. The pair, who underwent their respective surgeries in New York, couldn’t hold back their tears when they saw each other post-transplant.
