 Posted: Sat Feb 01, 2020 7:27 pm Post subject: Memorial items left in front of Staples/LA Live will be collected and shipped to The Bryant Family home |
|
|
Vanessa said her and the children would like collect and read them from my understanding
| Quote: | “It will have been a week. We have contractually obligated events that are moving in,” he said. “Vanessa had reached out to us and said, ‘Our family would like the items out there.’ So we’re going to catalog every one of them. By that I mean, T-shirts, letters, basketballs, stuffed animals, toys. We’re going to put those in specially made containers and we’re going to ship them to the family.”

I had to go downtown on business, so I stopped by Staples. Quite an outpouring.
Most of the messages were actually things people wrote on the walkways rather than on items that could be boxed. Maybe they'll take photographs of those. |

I actually wrote on a message on a Kobe plaque that I had, and placed it behind a basketball that someone else had left with a long message written on it. It was really surreal how much memorabilia of all kinds people left behind.

I am guessing we will see many of these items auctioned off for charity
Hard to see. Knowing some of those balls were cherished memories.. some signed by Kobe possibly and others..
Still just unbelievable he has gone |

Mamba academy should have a Kobe memorial museum of some sort and replica of all his accolades and all these items. |
