Last week Vanessa and her family marked the one-year anniversary of the tragic death of the Los Angeles Lakers star and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna(Gigi) in a helicopter crash. On Jan. 26, the mother of four shared a touching letter on Instagram that was written by Gianna’s friend,
Aubrey Callaghan.
“I hope that in the midst of your intense sadness, you catch a glimpse of joy in who the daughter you created and raised was,” Callaghan wrote. “You did it right, Mrs. Bryant, and we are all eternally grateful to you.”
Check out the full letter below.
“Today I received this sweet letter from one of Gianna’s best friends, Aubrey. I love you Aubz (as my Gigi would call you). Thank you so much for beautifully sharing some of your memories of my Gigi with me and allowing me to share them here on my ig,” Vanessa captioned the post.
