“My Gianna. God I miss you. I’ve been so lucky to have woken up to see your gorgeous face and amazing smile for 13 years. Wish it would’ve been until my last breath. Mommy loves you to the moon and back. Infinity plus 1. #2 #Mambacita #GigiBryant,” she captioned the first post.

“My Gigi. I love you! I miss you,” Vanessa wrote in her second tribute. “You’ve taught us all that no act of kindness is ever too small. Mommy is still and will ALWAYS be so proud of you mamacita. ❤️#2 🏀”

Kobe’s wife has expressed her gratitude for the outpouring love and support from everyone all over the world. “I take comfort in knowing that Kobe and Gigi both knew that they were so deeply loved,” Vanessa shared on Instagram days following the tragic accident. “We were so incredibly blessed to have them in our lives. I wish they were here with us forever. They were our beautiful blessings taken from us too soon.”
