“We are one city that believes in each other, believes in something bigger than ourselves. We will absolutely do everything to make sure that this is done so that everybody can come to it as well.”
The planned public memorial is scheduled for February 24 at Staples Center for all nine victims of the fatal helicopter crash. This will be the time and place for the fans to say one last goodbye to Kobe, his daughter, and their seven friends.
