Two days in the past, my husband Charlie went to see the face of his Savior and his God. Charlie always said that when he was gone he wished to be remembered for his braveness and for his religion. And one of the ultimate conversations he had on this earth, my husband witnessed for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now and for eternity, he’ll stand at his Savior’s facet, sporting the wonderful crown of a martyr. Charlie liked life. He liked his life. He liked America. He liked nature, which helped him always convey him nearer to God. He liked the Chicago Cubs. And my goodness did he liked the Oregon Ducks. He’d need me to say, “Go Ducks,” and I’ve to because they play on Saturday. So, “Go Ducks.”

But most of all, Charlie liked his youngsters. and he liked ME, with all of his coronary heart. And I knew that. Every day, I knew that. He made sure I knew that, every day. Every day he would ask me, “How can I serve you better?” “How can I be a better husband?” “How can I be a better father?” Every day. Every day. He was such a good man. He still is a good man. He was the right father. He was the right husband.

Charlie always believed that God’s design for marriage and the household was completely superb, and it’s. It is, and it was the best pleasure of his life. And over and over he would inform all these younger people to come and discover their future partner, turn out to be wives and husbands and dad and mom. And the explanation why is that he wished you all to expertise what he had and still has. He wished everybody to convey Heaven into this earth through love and pleasure that comes from raising a household. It’s lovely.

Charlie always said if he ever ran for workplace that his top precedence can be to revive the American household. That was his precedence.

One of Charlie’s favourite Bible verses was Ephesians 5:25. “Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” 

My husband laid down his life for me. For our nation. For our youngsters. He confirmed the final word and true covanental love. I’ll never, ever have the phrases to describe the loss that I really feel in my coronary heart. I truthfully have no thought what any of this means. I do know that God does, but I do not. But Charlie, child, I do know that you do too, and so does our Lord. 

And our world is crammed with evil. But our God, you guys, our God is so good. He’s so extremely good. And we all know that for those who love God all issues work together for good for those who are called according to his goal.

Already I’ve seen the worldwide outpouring of love for my husband… I’ve heard the testimonies from the people my husband has impressed to get married, to start households, to hunt down a relationship with God. That’s the most important, the most important one of all.

The evildoers accountable for my husband’s assassination have no thought what they’ve finished. They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, religion, and God’s merciful love. They ought to all know this: If you thought that my husband’s mission was highly effective before, you might have no thought. You have no thought what you just have unleashed across this whole nation, and this world. You have no thought. You have no thought the fire that you might have ignited within this spouse. The cries of this widow will echo across this world like a battle cry.

To everybody listening tonight across America, the motion my husband constructed won’t die. It will not. I refuse to let that occur. It won’t die.

All of us will refuse to let that occur. No one will ever overlook my husband’s title and I’ll make sure of it. It will turn out to be stronger, bolder, louder, and better than ever. My husband’s mission won’t end, not even for a second. 

And one of Charlie’s best expertise was his capability, this phenomenal capability to select great people to observe him. He may always discover those who may deal with any setback. And it is nearly like he knew, he may see it in you, even when you could not see it in your self. He just knew, he knew you would deal with it. You thought you only had 5 p.c left, and he knew you had 15. He knew you had been prepared to go that further mile, even when you did not. He always challenged people around him to work more durable and to be better. He never gave up. And I like understanding that one of his mottos was, Never Surrender. So, I would like you to know that we’ll never give up. We never will. Ever. 

Our campus tour this fall will continue. There shall be even more tours in the years to come. America Fest right here in Phoenix this December will go on. It shall be better than ever. The radio and podcast show that he was so proud of, will go on. And in a world crammed with chaos, doubt, and uncertainty, my husband’s voice will stay. And it would ring out louder and more clearly than ever. And his knowledge will endure. 

My favourite… my favourite too, but husband’s favourite phrase in the English language was “Earn.” He would call all of you to be people of motion who earn the future America deserves. So for all the younger people who felt impressed by my husband’s religion and work. All of you already know what Charlie would need you to do. You know. You know.

If you are in high college or in faculty, go be a part of your local Turning Point USA chapter. Join it. Stay concerned. He desires you to make a distinction, and you’ll be able to. You can. The motion’s not going wherever, and it would only grow stronger when you be a part of it.

If there’s not a chapter, or you’ll be able to’t discover one, then start one. There is no excuse. You can start one. And as my husband used to say in this room, every single day, if you need to become involved, the best approach to do that is to go to TPUSA.com.

If you are a pastor, be a part of our motion at TPUSAFaith. And if you are a dad or mum, I extremely suggest you come to America Fest in December. Sign up proper now for that, because we might love to see you. I’d love to see you. Charlie would. He’ll be there in spirit.

But most important of all, if you are not a member of a church, I urge you to be a part of one. A bible-believing church. Our battle will not be merely a political one, above all it’s non secular. It is non secular, with non secular warfare that is palpable.

Charlie liked his Savior with all of his coronary heart and he wished every one of you to love him too. He wished every one to know that if they confess the Lord Jesus Christ who rose from the lifeless, then they are going to be saved. Hear me when I say this: no one is ever too younger to know the gospel. 

Nobody. Nobody is every too younger to become involved with saving this lovely nation. This nation my husband liked and still loves. And no is ever too outdated either. There’s no age restrict. 

I do know my husband is still right here. He’s watching over us. 

[Sigh]

I do not keep in mind the last time I slept, I could not sleep last evening.

Oh, Charlie child. Charlie, I promise I’ll never let your legacy die, child. I will not. I promise I’ll make Turning Point USA the most important factor this nation has ever seen. I promise.  

Oh, Charlie I like you. I like you, child. Rest in the arms of your Lord as he blankets you with the phrases I do know that your coronary heart always strived to hear: “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

When I bought home last evening, Gigi, our daughter, ran into my arms. And I talked to her and she requested, “Where’s Daddy?” How do you inform a three-year-old? She’s three.

I said, child, Daddy loves you so a lot. He’s on a work journey with Jesus so he can afford your blueberry finances.

And my goodness, amd I’m so humbled to witness Charlie. You’re alongside Jesus, doing what you always wished to do: Making Heaven crowded. That’s what it is all about. Making Heaven crowded. I can not wait to see you someday.

Thank you all again who supported my husband. Who wrote him an electronic mail every single day on his radio show. he read all of them. God bless you all. And could God Bless America.

Charlie and Erika’s love story is one for the Hallmark Channel. The pair met in 2018, and Kirk interviewed Erika, at that time a profitable business lady, for a place at TPUSA. They clicked so extremely, that instead of hiring her, he determined to date her. They married in 2020. In 2022, they welcomed their first youngster, a daughter, and expanded their household with a son in 2024. The Kirks had been zealous to keep their household life non-public and to defend their youngsters from media publicity. However, Erika was actively engaged with TPUSA and her husband’s work. Her countenance glowing, Erika lovingly launched her husband at a TPUSA event, saying he’s “a force.” 

WATCH:

“Behind the podium, he’s a fighter. But behind closed doors, he is daddy — he is the love of my life and I find it so incredible that our children get to watch him be the man that God has called him to be…”
