UPDATE: Tuesday, Jan. 5 (12:10 p.m. ET) – The wife of late Backroads Anthem singer Craig Strickland has shared a touching video that her late husband made for her just before they got married just over a year ago.

“On the day of our wedding Craig had me watch a video he had made to tell me how much he loved me,” writes Helen in the caption. “I watched this privately prior to walking down the aisle, and so now I want to share this small excerpt with all of you.”

She added: “Thank you Lord for sharing #craigstrickland with me. You allowed me to borrow him on this earth, but he was always Yours. I will forever cherish our year of marriage. This was truly the type of man you were and will always be remembered as. I love you Craig Michael.”

On the day of our wedding Craig had me watch a video he had made to tell me how much he loved me. I am so thankful for technology in this moment because I will always have this. I watched this privately prior to walking down the aisle, and so now I want to share this small excerpt with all of you. Thank you @stylistmeganfarmer for helping him make this. I will cherish it for ever. “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalms 116:15″ Thank you Lord for sharing #craigstrickland with me. You allowed me to borrow him on this earth, but he was always Yours. I will forever cherish our year of marriage. This was truly the type of man you were and will always be remembered as. I love you Craig Michael.
