From Lower Marion, PA,
to the grand stages of the NBA and to the Oscars,
this towering figure,
this proud papa, this girl dad has left an indelible mark on our hearts

The legend of the Mamba’s relentless mentality will forever resonate, engraved in our minds like a tattoo
Numbness and shock engulf us, disbelief crashing upon us like relentless waves of sorrow

The eternal flame of Kobe’s legacy will never be extinguished, a beacon in the darkness of our grief.
