"I just wanted to say thank you so much for all that you’re doing during this pandemic. It’s definitely not easy and you guys are putting yourselves on the front lines," she says in the clip. "Thank you so much for being the heroes in this story. We’re staying inside and we’re praying and thinking of you every single day."
