After Kathie Lee Gifford lost her husband Frank Gifford on Aug. 9, warm tributes poured in from around the world.
But it was the melodies sung by 5-year-old “America’s Got Talent” singer Heavenly Joy Jerkins that truly melted the heart of the grieving TODAY co-host.
“Your light shines all around the world,” said Heavenly Joy in a cellphone video after belting a vibrant rendition of “This Little Light of Mine.”
Tears flowed from Gifford as she sat by the side of Hoda Kotb during her first on-air appearance since the loss.
“I’ve held it together for a week and this little Heavenly Joy girl—bless her heart,” said the emotional TV personality.
That’s when the 5-year-old daughter of producer and Lifestyle Music Group CEO, Rodney Jerkins and his wife Joy Enriquez, came marching onto the set.
