Before her death in 2016, Joey and Feek made history as part of the singing duo Joey + Rory. Some of their songs were inspired by their adorable love story.

It came as no surprise when Feek revealed that Joey's last words to him were a line from his song "Josephine," which told the story of a couple in love.

During an interview, Feek said that they repeated "I love you" to each other three times before she left. Following her death, the award-winning singer has turned to his daughter Indianna for support.

Indiana was born with down syndrome a few months after Joey was diagnosed. The singer has been raising her as a single dad while getting help from his older daughters Heidi, 33, and Hopie, 31, from his first marriage.
