"My king, my heart, my best friend. Happy 19th wedding anniversary baby. I miss you so much. I wish you were here to hold me in your arms. I love you," she wrote.
Just yesterday, Gianna and her teammates were made honorary draft picks by the WNBA during the league's virtual entry draft. It was a beautiful little tribute that Vanessa got to prepare a speech for.
With all of this in mind, it's clear that the memory of Kobe and Gianna will forever live on.
