In a revealing new interview with PEOPLE, Rory divulges his late wife's final words.

"We repeated 'I love you' three times to each other," he revealed. "It's the last line of a song I wrote years ago called 'Josephine,' an imaginary love story between a husband and wife."

Just last week, Feek posted home video footage of the couple's only daughter together, Indiana, as a tribute to Joey.
