    The Moonlight Sonata, is one of my favorite pieces, too. My late Grandmother, June, played it for my family for many years and since we lost her in 1999, nothing was ever the same without her magical fingers playing that song on her piano. Just by listening to this, today, in honor of Kobe and Gianna, themselves, it makes me miss those three together. I will forever cherish those moments that they all shared, when they were alive in this world. Rest in Peace, Love, and Harmony, Kobe, Gianna, June, and the remaining that were on board the helicopter.
