Erika reiterated how she explains Charlie’s death to her young daughter.
"We’ve come to the understanding, and I’ve tried to explain this to her, that Daddy’s still with us, he’s just in a different location and he’s building us a home in heaven," she spilled. "And I’ve said this before, but she said, ‘I can’t wait to go.’ I said, 'Me too, baby.'”

"He's always in your heart," she added tearfully.
