Save

I pray Kobe's family and the families of the 7 others that lost their lives also... be Comforted, Strengthened and Healed in this very painful time. Kobe Bryant an Indisputable Legend, on every Level�of Life�s Court, has taken his rest. We loved him but God loved him best.

1978 - 2020 Yes, he was with us, but…for a while and we enjoyed his infectious smile But above, and so far beyond this admired…was his shining God-given gift In a class…where he was all by himself his uniqueness belonged to him…no one else Imperfect, as all are…he handled the dross… like a proven champion…on the court and off As a husband and a father, he did his best without question, indeed…he passed this test Yet, it was there while striving to do even more that heaven beckoned him to its ordained door This invitation was one…none…could ever deny… and a daughter went with him as he bid goodbye All will miss you Kobe, good man that you were your flame will lead others…to aspire and stir Thus, in this heavy hour we will be strong… memories of a…Legend…won’t ever be gone We are grateful for your life…every mile for yes, you were with us, but…for a while Ecc 3:1-2 copyright; jmsbell/1/29/2020

A very touching tribute to an idol and role model for many.

I wonder about why his helicopter was not fitted with safety devices that would have prevented flying into a mountain and why, when the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department was not flying, that their pilot decided that it was okay for him to fly.

Your message is clear. It was a terrible tragedy. In the world system Kobe was a bona fide star; a gifted giving man, with a beautiful family. There were 8 others who died in that horrific crash. Who will write their tributes? Thank you for sharing. r
