Vanessa Bryant also had special words for her "baby girl," Gianna, describing her as an "amazingly sweet" and "gentle soul."

Last month, the grieving wife launched a wrongful death lawsuit against the helicopter company that owned the crashed aircraft.

In the lawsuit, Vanessa and her daughters blamed the crash on the deceased pilot Ara Zobayan who they say failed to monitor and assess the weather before takeoff.

They also claim Island Express Helicopters were complicit in the tragic crash. The widow and her daughters are asking for general, economic, and punitive damages.
