A mother from Rochester, New Hampsire, thanked singer Justin Bieber on Facebook for meeting her sick daughter before the girl passed away.

"Justin I am thanking you with all my heart," mom Pam Drew wrote in her post. "You made my daughter's wish come true in Boston."

Drew's daughter, Karlee, recently passed away from myelodysplastic syndrome, a bone marrow disorder, which turned into myeloid leukemia.

Drew said that in her last few days Karlee was mostly unresponsive, except for one moment when a paramedic started playing a Justin Bieber song on his phone.

"My daughter's head bounced up and down a few times and she smiled," Pam wrote. "From the bottom of my heart, thank you."
