Craig Strickland's Widow Shares Beautiful Letter From Her Late Husband
 

Just days after country singer Craig Strickland's body was recovered, his widow, Helen, shared a beautiful letter from her late husband on social media. In an Instagram post, Helen said Craig wrote it for their wedding day in 2014.  

"Today I found this precious treasure Craig wrote for me to read on the day of our wedding," wrote Helen in a post on Thursday. "The Lord is good always ... I know this because in the the most heart aching moments, when it seems too difficult to bare, [sic] God knows just how to make me smile."

Helen shared a photo of the letter, which is addressed to "Helen, my love." 

Today I found this precious treasure Craig wrote for me to read on the day of our wedding. The Lord is good always...I know this because in the the most heart aching moments, when it seems too difficult to bare, God knows just how to make me smile. ? "I almost wrote Greg?" - Lol, oh #craigstrickland, how I love you.

Over the past few days, Helen has posted videos on Instagram from the couple's wedding day. One was of Craig and the groomsman taking silly photos.

God filled Craig with so much life. Thank you #craigstrickland for teaching everyone around you how to live life to the fullest. I'm so proud of you. This video was taken at our wedding, during the groomsmen pictures.

Another was a private video Strickland made for his bride to watch on their wedding day. 

"On the day of our wedding Craig had me watch a video he had made to tell me how much he loved me," wrote Helen in a caption. "I am so thankful for technology in this moment because I will always have this." 

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.

Craig Strickland and his friend, Chase Morland, were reported missing near an Oklahoma lake on Dec. 27. The two were going duck hunting, according to an ominous tweet posted by Morland. 

In case we don't come back, @BackroadCRAIG and I are going right through Winter Storm Goliath to kill ducks in Oklahoma. #IntoTheStorm
