“When that man walked into a room, you felt every bit of his iconic presence,” Hudson, who recalled sharing dinner and “meaningful conversations” with Bryant, continued. “You could feel his dedication, you could feel his intelligence, you could feel his talent, you could see it, you could feel his God-given light.”“And I know I think a lot of people have said this, and I just concur … that he had that… but it’s hard to put into words,” she added.

I don’t get it. It doesn’t make sense to me,” Oliver continued, adding that the deaths of those on board the helicopter makes him ““And it makes me question God. I don’t get it. Why? What does this do? Why did this happen? It doesn’t make sense,” Oliver said, echoing the thoughts of many others struck by the sudden tragedy.
Sweet story!
