It is very touching to see the memorial continue to grow honoring the 14 lives lost. Now there are painted portraits of the victims lining the street. This is New Orleans. ♥️

Some of the victims family members were walked on Bourbon St. for the first time to see where their loved one died and the amount of emotions and devastation is indescribable. My heart is broken. Praying for the families.
