This tragedy still has me speechless till this day. It’s unbelievable. I remember seeing the news line when it first happened and I just couldn’t believe it to be true. Those poor kids lives cut so short. Everyone suffered a tremendous loss that day. Still praying for every family involved. 💔

Losing her husband is one thing, but losing her 13-year-old daughter is probably unfathomable for Vanessa. One year probably feels like 10 years to her. God blesses her and strengthens her.

It’s been a year and it seems like yesterday. You are missed Kobe and Gigi.

[ejrigot]

We loved you, we miss you. Life goes on. We will ALWAYS remember you. Stay strong. I remember a year ago today, my dad brother and I were going to watch a movie and on the way back it was about five minutes after the crash. I cannot believe it! I am so sorry to all those who knew him.

I had an AAU tournament on that Sunday, and coach and one of my friends went to the mall a couple minutes away from the gym to get some lunch. As we were ordering, my coach got a notification on his phone saying that Kobe had died. Him being an NBA reporter and having strong connections with the NBA, was shocked. Me and my friend didn't know what to believe, we thought it was fake. At the food court while we were eating my parents came and we just kind of hugged each other because they knew how much Kobe meant to me. He had great work ethic, had legendary skills, and inspired many millions of people with his game and mentality to life. On our way back to the gym, you could see the reactions on people's faces when they found out this horrible news. The TV's in the mall had the breaking news on and it felt like a nightmare. Back at the gym, you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was in shock, and it kind of stirred everyone up. Kobe was an amazing person and one day I really wanted to meet him and pick his mind about the game of basketball and his mentality. I will never forget that day. Gone but never forgotten. RIP Mamba, Gigi and all the other passengers in that horrible tragedy 💜💛 24/8
