Seeing Erika clutch the rosary while quietly waving to supporters struck a chord with many, becoming a powerful symbol of both loss and strength.

That simple gesture showed how she leaned on her faith to get through the pain, and it sent a message to everyone watching: even in the darkest times, hope and resilience can carry you forward.

”A prayer warrior”

Jack Posobiec, a Turning Point USA contributor, described Erika as “unbelievably strong” and praised her unwavering commitment to her faith.

“Erika is a prayer warrior, her and Charlie are very devout believers, they are very very deeply Christian,” he said.

“When you see the cameras turn off, the lights go down, they immediately go back to faith — this is something they live 24/7.”

Posobiec added that Erika’s faith is not just for show but a way of life.
