A number of memorials have been made for Kobe Bryant since he died in a helicopter crash in late January with his daughter on board. Seven others died in the crash, too.

A new report suggested that Vanessa Bryant has been moved by “every memorial” around the world that has acted as a tribute to Kobe Bryant.

What happened: A number of memorials have been made for Kobe Bryant since he died in a helicopter crash in late January with his daughter on board. Seven others died in the crash, too.

• Memorials were placed at the Staples Center, Vivint Arena and a pair of funeral homes, among other locations.

Now: Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, reportedly feels that “every memorial means something to her. Every memorial is important,” per People magazine.

• An unnamed source told People magazine: “She was aware of the Super Bowl tribute and she was touched.”
• Vanessa Bryant reportedly reached out to the Staples Center to receive the fan tributes left outside there, according to the New York Post.

What’s next: The bodies of Kobe and Gianna Bryant were recently returned to the family. Multiple reports suggest that an announcement about a funeral could come soon.

• MEAWW said: “The news might mean that a memorial service for Kobe, which has so far seen multiple unforeseen delays, can finally go ahead. Sources with knowledge of the situation had dampened the hopes of a memorial taking place any time soon just last week.”
• Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti told USA Today: “We don’t have that date finalized, but we’ve been talking every day to the Lakers, and most importantly, to (Bryant’s widow, Vanessa) as well.”
