In the vast sanctuary of Our Lady Queen of Angels Catholic Church, a larger-than-life figure mixed with ordinary parishioners in the final hours of his storied life. Kobe Bryant talks about coaching his daughter 01:03After a glittering, straight-out-of-high-school 20-year NBA career, Bryant was often seen with Gianna -- a talented young player -- at basketball games. Convinced she too was bound for glory, he saw the second of his four daughters -- along with Natalia, Bianka and Capri -- with wife Vanessa Laine Bryant as heir to his greatness.

Remembering the victims of the Calabasas helicopter crash 01:34Not long after stepping out of Our Lady Queen of Angels, Bryant waited to board a chartered helicopter at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, 35 miles southeast of Los Angeles. He had made the flight to Thousand Oaks many times.Gianna was there, along with two of her teammates: Alyssa Altobelli and Payton Chester.

😥😥😥

The seven others have names. Use them. Out of respect if nothing else. I think everyone can add the extra lines with their names. Should be ashamed of yourselves. You van do and be better.

RIP Gianna. So sorry your father was a rapist.
