'Chris wasn't perfect and neither am I. Neither are you. We all battle in our own ways, some more evident than others. And I'm grateful we have a God who saves us time and time again.
'I'm grateful God gave Chris and I the past year and a half to restore our marriage, to say our "I'm sorry's", to admit our faults and to promise to try each day to be the best version of ourselves. Sometimes we failed a little but we always knew we had a merciful God who forgave us and wanted more than anything for us to see His mercy in our struggles.'

'As we round the corner of two months that my beautiful husband has been gone from this earth I want you to know a few things about him: He snorted when he laughed. He cried our entire wedding ceremony. He cried like a baby when both our children were born - I would look over at him in the car and see tears rolling down his cheek, ask him what was wrong, and he would reply "nothing, I just love you so much" and would smile at me with the most loving look in his eyes
'Incase you haven't figured it out by now he was always emotionally available and invested in those he loved. Anytime I asked him to rub my feet he said yes. He was a great cook

The blonde beauty - who recently had Carney's name tattooed on her wrist - added: 'He got my face tattooed on his arm as our wedding gift, ha! He was a wonderful protector, I always felt so safe with him. He was a hugger. He was a singer. He was a sinner, so are you and so am I. He was 6'3 (I loved always feeling so small next to him)
'He had beautiful feet, especially for a guy. He ALWAYS smelled good. He loved Jesus so very much. He is doing great things in Heaven, I'm sure of it.'
