On Thursday evening (Nov. 5), Joey + Rory asked loved ones, friends and fans, wherever they were, to stop and say a prayer for Joey Feek as she faces her terminal cancer diagnosis. In Feek’s hometown of Alexandria, Ind., people were more than happy to oblige.

Nashville’s WKRN-TV reports that “hundreds” gathered together in Alexandria, lighting candles and standing together as they listened to a recording of Joey Feek singing “Amazing Grace.” Those at the event were more than happy to share their memories of and well wishes for the country singer.

“She’d sit around the campfire and she’d sing songs for us … and just a precious girl, just wonderful,” says June Miller, whose children Feek babysat. “Joey, we love you, we think about you. We pray for you every night, and God does work miracles.”

On the couple’s blog, Rory Feek has noted that he and his wife have been in Alexandria recently, visiting loved ones, and the town’s support has extended beyond the vigil itself.
