In the post, titled "One Last Kiss," Feek says his wife said she's leaving behind no regrets.

The country singer and Indiana native has garnered national attention over the past several months as her battle against cancer has been documented online in her husband's blog.
The Feeks returned to Joey's hometown of Alexandria last year so she could spend her remaining time close to her family.
