Randy and Mary tied the knot in 2015, and he says she's the reason he survived his almost-fatal health complications. According to Country Living, Mary insisted that the doctors keep Randy on life support, even when his health was declining.

“Even in his state, his semi-coma state, he squeezed my hand and he laid there and I just saw this tear that fell and it was one tear at a time... I just went back to the doctors and I said, ‘We’re fighting this,’” she added in an interview with TODAY.

The couple continues to make every moment together last, and it seems like it's made all the difference for Randy, health-wise.

“We make it a point to find something to laugh about every single day,” Mary said in an interview with People. “That makes all the difference in the world. Even through the tears sometimes, of sadness and defeat, you smile.”
