My heart is heavy with the loss of my dear friend, Charlie Kirk. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, his wife, Erika, their two young children, his parents, and all who loved him. Over the past three years, I was fortunate to know Charlie and to build a wonderful friendship with him. He supported me with his characteristic steadfastness. I will deeply miss his thoughtfulness, encouragement, and insight. The world has lost an extraordinary human being, one who believed passionately in the power of positive communication to serve the greater good. His legacy will remain a guiding light for us all. Rest in peace, my dear friend. You will be profoundly missed.
