Vanessa fought back tears as she started off by thanking people for their out pour of love and support.

For Gigi, Venessa said ;

My baby girl, Gianna Bryant, is an amazingly sweet and gentle soul.

she would kiss me every morning and every night.”

“She was daddy’s girl but I know she loved mama, and she would always show me and tell me how much she loved me, she was one of my very best friends.”

“Her smile took up her entire face, like mine,” she said.

“Kobe always said she was me she had my fire, my personality.

she was tender and loving on the inside. She had the best laugh, it was infectious, it was pure and genuine.

Kobe and Gianna naturally gravitated toward each other.”

Remembering Kobe she said ;

Now for my soulmate. Kobe was known for being a fierce competitor on the basketball court, the greatest of all time, a writer, and Oscar winner and the Black Mamba, but to me, he was Kob-Kob, my boo-boo, may bae-boo, my papi-chulo,”

“I was his vee-bee, his principesa, his reina, his queen mamba.

I couldn’t see him as a celebrity, nor as an incredible basketball player, he was my sweet husband and the beautiful father of our children.

He was mine. He was my everything
