Their story—woven through music, love, and unwavering faith—has long inspired millions, but on this day, grief once more took center stage. In front of the gravestone of the woman he called his soulmate, Rory broke down in tears, his voice trembling as he paid tribute to the love of his life.

Rebecca, standing close, rested her arm around them both—a gesture of strength and compassion that reflected the healing journey they continue to walk together.
