16. I didn't watch any of it...

...but I did look up and read the transcript of what Erika Kirk said.

Having not seen it, I can't speak to what anyone else said or did, or whether there were fireworks or anything - no idea. But based on the transcript (and again, I didn't see her delivery), her comments were very much about her marriage, about God, about how they worked together as a team, seeing him in the hospital after he died, forgiving the shooter, not returning hate with hate, etc. Pretty much what I would expect at a Christian funeral.

But again, I haven't seen or read anything else that was said/done at the service.
