Almost three weeks after having to suffer losing both Kobe and Gianna Bryant in a tragic helicopter crash, Vanessa Bryant is remembering her husband and daughter on Valentine’s Day.

It hasn’t even been a month since the tragic deaths of LA Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, 41, and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna in a Jan. 26 helicopter crash.

This is such important and critical work to carry on in the memory of Kobe Bryant… and now, his late daughter Gianna Bryant, too.

Forever in their hearts. Vanessa Bryant announced a change in the Mamba Sports Foundation name to honor both her late husband, Kobe Bryant, and their 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, who lost their lives in a tragic helicopter crash on January 26.
