Dear Kobe,
Words can not express what you meant to me and the rest of the world. Your work ethic and drive went beyond the game of basketball. Even after retirement you continued to instill the “Mamba” mentality into your daughters. I know everyone says you are now in a better place, however it is just to soon. There was so much more left to do and so many more people to inspire. The basketball world lost a true legend and I hope we use this tragedy as a moment of reflection on our own lives, and how we must love one another, respect each other, and most importantly always remember that life is short and you should live life like there is no tomorrow.
Love always,
