In the 40 years since Diana Munson lost her husband, Thurman, in a plane crash, she’s had countless conversations with fans who tell her where they were when the accident happened and she never stops them.

Rarely, though, does what happened on Aug. 2, 1979, come into focus as much as it did Sunday, when Diana and the world learned that Kobe Bryant had been killed — along with his daughter Gianna and seven others — in a helicopter crash outside of Los Angeles.

“[Sunday] opened up a lot of wounds for me,’’ Diana said by phone Monday. “It brought back that day very clearly. And it brought back a lot of feelings. Feelings I’ve tried to suppress for years. But it’s always there.”

Well, there’s probably no reason you can’t. Let the dust settle then go see her?

She had better not wait too long.

The line for giving Vanessa Bryant a hug is going to be a very long one. Kobe was a very lucky man.

As much as I feel for Kobe’s family in their loss, I’m tired of news not mentioning the names and showing photo’s of the other people that died. What they say “Kobe and his daughter, and 7 others died”, blah blah.

How about the husband, wife (mother and father) and one daughter of a family that died as well on that plane?
