"I also saw on his lips the faintest smile. And that told me something important. I was in conversation with God in this tragedy. It told me Charlie did not suffer. Even the doctor told me it was something so instant, even if Charlie had been shot in the operating room itself, nothing could have been done, Erika said. There was no pain, there was no fear, no agony."
"She told me something, she said, You know when you're on an airplane with your kids and it's the last 15 minutes of the flight and things are crazy, kids are not cooperative, toys are flying everywhere and everyone is screaming, and you think to yourself I cannot wait for this flight to land. It's 15 minutes before you land. And she told me, You will get through these 15 minutes, and the next 15 minutes after that."
Erika Kirk delivered an emotional tribute at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, before tens of thousands of mourners. She recounted identifying Charlie Kirk's body at the hospital after he was shot and killed at Utah Valley University and noticing the faintest smile on his lips. She described feeling in conversation with God and concluded that Charlie did not suffer, noting a doctor said death was instantaneous and unavoidable. She portrayed Charlie as passionately debating and fighting for the gospel until he blinked and saw his savior in paradise. She found comfort from Usha Vance's airplane-landing analogy while bringing Charlie's body home on Air Force Two.
