We are all still reeling from the tragic helicopter crash yesterday that took the life of Kobe Bryant and his 13 year old daughter Gianna.

The crash claimed 9 lives including John Altobelli.  John was the head baseball coach at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa. His wife Keri and their daughter Alyssa were also on board.  Christina Mauser also perished, she was a basketball coach at Harbor Day School in Newport Beach, where Kobe’s daughter attended school.   Sarah Chester and her middle school aged daughter Payton were on also on board. Payton was a teammate of Gianna Bryant’s.  The helicopter was piloted by Ara Zobayan, Bryant’s trusted private pilot.  As our world mourns this tragic loss, here are some thoughts from Stephen and Ayesha Curry via Instagram.

Dear Lord, please cover Vanessa and her family. Sending infinite prayers. My heart aches for her and the girls. I’ve written and deleted 100 times today. I have no words and they’re never going to come out the way I want them to. Praying for peace and protection over this family and other families involved. Rest In Peace and power, Gigi and Kobe.
