Vanessa’s heartbreaking message is one of several that she has posted since returning to social media following the deaths of her husband and daughter. She has been open with followers about her grieving, sharing multiple pictures of Kobe and Gianna. Recently, she posted a picture of the new Mamba Sports Academy name, which is now the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Academy, in honor of Gianna, who was following in the basketball footsteps of her father.
It has been nearly three weeks since Kobe and Gianna died tragically alongside seven others in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. A private funeral was held for the late basketball legend and his daughter last week. A public memorial and celebration of life for all nine victims of the crash will be held at the Staples Center on Feb. 24.
