Their life has been in front of the media ever since they won the country version of American Idol. They were a beautiful couple that captured the hearts of everyone. I feel they consider the country music fans part of their extended family and know how much we care and pray for them to have the strength to deal with this terrible disease. Joey’s husband is most probably glad to receive the support of his fans.
Never heard of them.
The show that started them off was Can You Duet.
They have been on the Gaither’s, Larry Black’s Country Dinner, and Country’s Family Reunion with Bill Anderson.
There life has been a public one as has been their Christian faith.
Rory started the blog to tell the story of their music journey, and it became so much more when Joey had Indiana, then the cancer journey. How they handled it is an inspiration to all Christian.
We had the privilege to go see a concert, and all were treated graciously. Before that we visited Marcy Jo’s Meal House and Joey was refilling coffee cups, and Rory brought Indiana in she was about 8 months old. We got to talk to him for some time as he and my current husband were Military men and even served on the same base, but at different times.
I lost both of my parents to Lung Cancer, my husband of 23 years to a massive sudden heart attack and our 16 year old son to a sociopathic killer who wanted to see what it felt like to kill and ambushed him a block from home coming from school. I still cry to this day certain times of the year.
