00:00Charlie Kirk's widow, Erica, tearfully says she forgives her husband's killer at his memorial service and funeral.

00:07Charlie Kirk's widow, Erica Kirk, tearfully spoke about her husband in a tribute on Sunday, September 21st.

00:13During the late activist's funeral and memorial service, she said she doesn't wish any ill will on Tyler Robinson, the alleged killer of Charlie.

00:22That young man.

00:23I forgive him, Erica said to the crowd.

00:25The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know from the gospel is love. It's always love, she continued.

00:33She received a standing ovation from the crowd. Erica recalled finding out about her husband's demise.

00:38When you say, here I am, Lord, use me. God will take you up on that.

00:43And he did with Charlie, she said, dabbing at her eyes with a tissue.

00:4711 days ago, God accepted that total surrender from my husband and then called him to his side, she continued.

00:53On the afternoon of September 10th, I arrived at a Utah hospital to do the unthinkable, to look directly at my husband's murdered body.

01:02I saw the wound that ended his life. I felt everything you would expect to feel.

01:06I felt shock, I felt horror, and a level of heartache that I didn't even know existed.

01:11But there was something else too.

01:13Even in death, I could see the man that I love.

01:15I could see the single gray hair on the side of his head, which I never told him about.

01:19Now he knows, sorry baby.

01:21Erica also brought up how her husband was doing what he loved on his tour in Utah before he was shot in the neck.

01:27And then he blinked and met his savior in paradise, she told the crowd.

01:31After Charlie's assassination, we didn't see violence.

01:34We didn't see rioting.

01:36We didn't see a revolution.

01:37Instead, we saw what my husband always prayed he would see in this country.

01:41We saw a revival, she added.

01:43I bless all of you for coming here from all over the world to honor and celebrate my Charlie.

01:49As OK previously reported, Erica shared her thoughts about the alleged killer in an interview, published that same day.

01:56I've had so many people ask,

01:58Do you feel anger toward this man?

01:59Like, do you want to seek the death penalty?

02:02I'll be honest.

02:03I told our lawyer,

02:04I want the government to decide this.

02:06Erica told the New York Times of the suspected shooter's fate.

02:09I do not want this man's blood on my ledger.

02:12Because when I get to heaven and Jesus is like an eye for an eye,

02:16is that how we do it?

02:18And that keeps me from being in heaven, from being with Charlie.
