The lights dimmed, and a video tribute to Charlie filled the screen behind her — images of his speeches, tender family moments, and the quiet laughter of their children. Then, Erika lifted her voice.
“I will be stronger than ever,” she sang, the words heavy with loss yet glowing with determination. It wasn’t a polished performance, nor was it meant to be.
