While going through the pain and suffering, Vanessa Bryant and her three daughters smiled, as they were paying homage to her late husband, Kobe Bryant, and their teen daughter, Gianna Bryant.

Kobe and Gianna and seven other people died in a helicopter crash in late January. Via Instagram, the mourning wife and mother, shared a lovely picture where she is holding her baby girl, Capri, eight months, alongside Bianka, 3, and Natalia,17, posing in front of a giant mural of Kobe and Gianna.

Vanessa wore a black outfit; baby Capri was in pink and sisters Natalia and Bianka matched in navy blue polka dot dresses.

Vanessa accompanied the photo with a moving quote which are the lyrics of late singer Nat King Cole’s song “Smile”: “mile: by Nat King Cole Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile.”

Many people rushed in the comment section to share love and prayers with Vanessa and her girls.
