John,

I want to thank you for loving my husband.  

For standing with us in the worst days of our lives. For praying. For mourning. For remembering. 

But now, I need you to listen closely... 

Because the evildoers who took Charlie’s life? They have NO idea what they have done. 

They didn’t just try to silence a man... 

They tried to silence his message — a message of patriotism, of faith, and of God’s merciful love. 

Instead, they ignited something even greater. 

If they thought my husband’s mission was powerful before... They have NO idea what they have just UNLEASHED. 

Not just across this country... But in me.

They have no idea the fire they’ve lit inside this wife. 

And to those listening across America… Let me be clear: The movement my husband built will not die. 

I refuse to let that happen.  

And I know all of us will refuse to let that happen, too. 

Charlie’s mission will grow: Stronger. Bolder. Louder. Greater than ever. 

I shared these words publicly, from my heart — just two days after I lost the love of my life.  

 
I want you to watch. I want you to hear what Charlie meant to me. And I want you to hear what comes next:   

Charlie gave everything for this country. And I will never stop speaking his name. 

We will not let the light he lit go out. Not now. Not ever. 

For Charlie,

P.S. Charlie always said: “Never surrender.” 

He built something bigger than himself — and now we must carry it forward. 

If you believe in what he stood for... if you refuse to let Charlie’s vision die...
