Despite their deepening relationship, Rory and Rebecca had been cautious about discussing marriage, especially considering Indiana’s profound love for her late mother. The turning point came one morning in late March. As usual, Rebecca arrived at the farmhouse to take Indy to school, but that day, something extraordinary happened.

After their customary morning prayer, they stepped out but soon after, they both returned to the kitchen. Rebecca then told Rory that Indiana had something to tell them. With all the innocence and wisdom of a child, she asked, “Ms. Rebecca, I think you should marry Papa.”

And if she marries you, maybe she could be my new mother.” Overwhelmed with emotion, Rory knew this was a sign. After much prayer and heartfelt conversation, the couple decided to take this brave step forward.

“My wife’s greatest dream came true today,” Rory wrote, capturing the bittersweet solace he found in Joey’s passing. “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,” he penned.
The singer revealed that Joey took her last breath at 2:30 p.m. surrounded by her praying family. In her final moments, Rory held her hand and kissed her goodbye.
