Erika Kirk addressed thousands during Charlie Kirk's funeral service on Sunday at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The 36-year-old, sobbing through her speech, revealed that he kept a ‘little secret’ from the Turning Point USA founder, further recalling the last time she saw him in the hospital.
After Kirk was fatally shot at Utah Valley University, his widow, made her first public remarks, saying the work he started won't stop.“The evildoers responsible for my husband’s assassination have no idea what they have done,” she said at the time. “They killed Charlie because he preached a message of patriotism, faith, and of God’s merciful love.”

On Sunday, with a faint smile, Erika revealed that she never told Charlie Kirk about a tiny strand of gray hair he had for a long time. “I am sorry, baby,” she said, looking towards the sky.
“I saw the one single gray hair I didn’t want to tell him about. Now he knows. Sorry, baby," she said.
Only earlier in the day, The New York Times published its interview with Erika. She told the publication that Kirk ‘had this knowing’ at the time of his death. His face had a ‘Mona Lisa-like half-smile. Like he’d died happy. Like Jesus rescued him’.
