Rory and Joey Feek, Nashville couple, duo, singers and songwriters of country, bluegrass, and gospel. nominated for a Grammy in 2014. Joey passed last fall at age 40, I believe. she was diagnosed with stage 4 Cervical cancer not too many months prior. they had an occasional show on one of the dish channels. her last program was " gospel songs important to me" i think was the title. Joey had the voice of an angel. filmed after radiation treatments and obviously frail and weak. their shows were not just singing but depicted their life, their deep love for each other, family and faith. worth reading details on the net.

couple years ago, Joey gave birth to a special baby. Downs Syndrone. they had one show that talked of what it meant to them. then a year later, Joey is diagnosed and they begsn their fight against this terrible disease. in their last show of old time gospel songs, they talk of their love for each other, their baby, life, and their faith.

I cannot adequately find words to describe this family, if you get a chance see some of their programs, and look up the bio on the net.
 
So sad. What a beautiful song for her survivors:

their manager was Rory's cousin, not just hios manager, but their best friend. as I read about them further, it was amazing how their live's paralled each others. sorry but I forget the cousins name, but both him and Rory had a previuous marrage with 2 girls, the cousin also had a child born with Downs Syndrome, he lost his wife to cancer also. Rory and Joey were introduced by his cousin. Rory had prayed to God to help him find the right woman. shorty after they meet, Rory accepted Jesus Christ as his savior. I believe they had been married 8-10 years when that precious girl was born. they believed God placed that child with them for a reason.

truly not just talented, but an amazing couple.
 
Very touching song !!
Thanks for sharing !!
May God comfort them in their time of need !!!
I'm glad that this world is temporary !!
I'm glad for those who know Jesus as the friend and savior !!
God Bless
 
Joey is not dead, but is in Hospice care. As of yesterday.
