HONORING KOBE AND GIGI
Vanessa has been taking out time to preserve the legacy and memories of her late husband, Kobe, and their 13-year-old daughter, Gigi.
From sharing tributes on social media and getting inks in their honor, Vanessa showed that she is determined to keep their memories alive.
The latest update from Vanessa showed that she newly acquired a custom-made gold necklace that bore the numbers "2" and "24," which symbolize Kobe and Gigi's jersey numbers. A heart engraving was included to seal the numbers together. Vanessa drew a heart-shaped line around the snapshot.
NBA HONORS KOBE AND GIGI
Vanessa was not left alone in the trying times as Kobe's colleagues keep showing love. In honor of Kobe, the NBA made specially designed jerseys with the numbers "2" and "24" for the Feb.16 basketball game in Chicago.
The historical event came to a conclusion with a display of Kobe's award-winning short film, "Dear Basketball."
Team LeBron wore number "2" jerseys while Team Giannas sported number "24" jerseys. The other victims of Kobe's helicopter crash were also honored with patches bearing nine stars.
