"My wife's greatest dream came true today. She is in Heaven. The cancer is gone, the pain has ceased and all her tears are dry. Joey is in the arms of her beloved brother Justin and using her pretty voice to sing for her Savior," shared Rory Feek about his terminally ill, beautiful 40-year-old wife, Joey Feek. 

Joey died around 2:30 p.m. Friday (March 4), with her family gathered around her, holding hands and praying. "My precious bride breathed her last. And a moment later took her first breath on the other side," proclaimed Rory.

"Though this is, and has been, a time of many tears of sorrow, it has also been a time of countless tears of joy," explained Rory.  "There have been too many beautiful moments to count or even begin to share in this blog.  But I try."

When a person has been through as much pain and struggle as Joey's been through, Rory said one just wants it to be over.  "You want them to not have to..."
