Their final day was sweet and ordinary.

Country singer Craig Strickland's widow has opened up about their last moments together.

The Backroad Anthem frontman was found dead Monday in Oklahoma, more than a week after he and a friend went missing while on a hunting trip, according to ET. The body of his friend, Chase R. Morland, was found earlier.

Strickland's wife, Helen, has shared some sweet memories on her Instagram.

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.

However, one of her recent interviews, in which she talks about their last day together, is also pretty sad.

"He blew me a kiss, and said, 'I'll talk to you soon,' then he walked out," she told CNN.
