At Sunday’s memorial service for Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, his widow, Erika Kirk, shared a moment of comfort she received from second lady Usha Vance in the immediate aftermath of his assassination, calling her a “precious woman.”

Erika Kirk explained how she had confided in Vance about how she did not know how she could endure the loss of her husband and the father of their two children.

Vance offered an analogy about the final 15 minutes of a turbulent airplane ride , when all a parent can think about is getting through to the landing.

The second lady “told me, you will get through these 15 minutes and the next 15 minutes after that,” Erika Kirk described . “Usha, I don’t think you realized it then, but those words were exactly what I needed to hear.”
