    No stranger’s death has come within 1% of what I’m still feeling with this loss a whole month later. And that is just for Kobe. I have explained the even greater sense of loss I finally came to understand was no longer having Gianna’s just beginning entire Superstar career to follow and her celebrity and stardom .... with Kobe still attached to it as a huge bonus. To me it was literally what I thought would never be possible .... a 2nd fandom equal to the first starting this year at her young age from seeing the Youtube clips and Kobe’s obvious imprint on her game going forward and how she willingly and with his passion was approaching it.

    The strength Vanessa is showing right now is unfathomable. Truly incredible woman.

    She's breaking my heart talking about Gigi right now. God bless her & the whole Bryant family.

    Wasn't ready to hear from Vanessa. Wow. Beautiful. Powerful. Moving. Saddening beyond words. No clue how she was able to do that.

    This was an incredible image immediately following

    Super hard to watch this, but I’m glad Shaq brought some humor. Also dropped a “mothaf****” on live tv. :D

    Beautiful service, I liked everyone's eulogies except for Rob's for some reason. I would have rather heard from Pau or Jerry West instead
    Lot of tears watching... RIP

    Was great hearing from Jordan. He's been the only one who we haven't heard from in front of the camera and considering what he meant to Kobe and his game, that was huge.

    Only one in attendance I would've liked to hear from that we didn't was Phil.

    All in all, great celebration ceremony for Mamba. And sad as hell.
