As she wrote in the touching tribute to her late husband, “To my forever Valentine, I love you so much. Missing you so much on your favorite holiday. Te amo per sempre. Kisses to you and Gigi in heaven. Happy Valentine’s Day, my babies. With all my love, your boo-boo. song: Tell Him @mslaurynhill.”
In the clip, Hill is heard singing, “Make me unselfish without bein’ blind / Though I may suffer, I’ll envy it not / And endure what comes / ‘Cause he’s all that I got and I tell him / Tell him I need him.”
It’s been two weeks since the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Kobe, Gianna and seven others. The father and daughter were laid to rest on Feb. 7 a private ceremony.
