‘Aces Nation has lost its heartbeat’

Most people will remember Kobe as the magnificent athlete who inspired a whole generation of basketball players. But I will always remember him as a man who was much more than an athlete. pic.twitter.com/9EZuwk8wrV

I just heard about this from my friend today, and it's heartbreaking to hear that Kobe Bryant and his daughter got killed in a helicopter crash. My sincere condolences to his wife Vanessa, and his family and friends that love him dearly. He will be greatly missed. #RIPKobeBryant pic.twitter.com/X6ssyMMkb1

‘If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. (1 John 4:20)’

Prayers esp. for the kids on that helicopter and all the families involved. When I covered TWA Flight 800 I got to see families hit rock bottom in fate's snap of a finger. Literally overnight. Rich, poor; Famous, regular folks. Matters not. Nothing worse than that. #KobeBryant
