Rory Feek Shares Touching Video of Joey Receiving Message From Dolly Parton

Yesterday, the world mourned the loss of Joey Feek, who passed away after an intense battle with cervical cancer.

Her husband Rory has graciously kept fans included in the ups and downs of their journey through his blog, This Life I Live.

“At 2:30 this afternoon, as we were 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,” Rory wrote of his wife’s final moments. 

As he began to pack their things, leave Indiana and head home to Tennessee, he shared a remarkable moment that forever touched their hearts.

“From the time she was four years old, Joey had been singing Dolly [Parton]’s songs and dreamed of one day meeting her,” he explained. “Coat of Many Colors was a regular part of our show and at home she loved to put on Dolly and listen to ‘Hello God,’ ‘When I Sing For Him,’ ‘Me and Little Andy’ and many others.  She never got the chance to meet her in person and had no idea that Dolly even knew who she was.  But that changed one Friday evening this past November.”

Thanks to Kathy Olen, a friend from Nashville, they had a video that would change Joey’s life. The family gathered around to watch “Hope Floats,” a movie Joey loved. “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…”

And it’s one of the most touching moments we’ve ever seen. Watch in the video below…
