Joey Feek is in Heaven Now, "Singing to Her Savior"

Julie Brown Patton : Mar 7, 2016  The Gospel Herald

"I don't fear anything because I'm so close to God and we've talked about it so many times. I know He loves me. I'm really at peace." -Joey Feek

"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.

"From the time she was 4 years old, Joey had been singing Dolly's songs and dreamed of one day meeting her. Coat of Many Colors was a regular part of our show and at home she loved to put on Dolly and listened to "Hello God," "When I Sing For Him," "Me and Little Andy," and many others."

Although Joey never got the chance to meet Parton in-person, and had no idea that Dolly even knew who she was, that situation changed one Friday evening this past November. (Photo via Facebook)

Joey's family and I gathered around Joey's bedside to watch the movie "Hope Floats" with her. "But instead of pushing play on the DVD, I pushed play on the video I had received, and we all watched Joey watch. It was the most beautiful moment I have ever been part of," shared 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..."
