“We prayed. We all prayed. God answered,” said her husband, Rory — and partner in the singing duo Joey + Rory. “Not the answer we hoped for… but the answer He has given us.”

The couple previously announced she had stopped medical treatment after discovered cancer had spread.

“Joey is at peace with where she is and where she’s going,” Rory wrote. “So am I. An answer to prayer on the blog.”

Joey and Rory married in 2002 and had a daughter, Indiana, in 2014.

“The last couple of mornings, I’ve brought Indiana up here to spend time with her mama. Both of their eyes light up the moment they see each other,” Rory said. “It’s been beautiful.”

He wrote that hospice care has been arranged and a hospital bed would be delivered later Monday morning.

“We’ll have a play area on the carpet nearby – close enough for her to watch Indy play, and for Indy to turn and make sure her mama can see her,” he wrote. “Joey is at peace with where she is and where she’s going. So am I.”
