Six months after losing his wife to cancer, Rory Feek does all he can to feel close to the woman he calls "the most amazing person." "We have a cemetery about a hundred yards behind the farm … and it's where we laid my wife to rest," Rory, 40, told Today's Savannah Guthrie of his late wife Joey. "We can sit on our back porch and sort of feel her there and she's not far away." Joey died in March, about two years after being diagnosed with cancer in 2014. The country music duo documented Joey's journey - and the family's struggle to cope - along the way.
