I would like to send my condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Magnolia Shorty. I play piano on Bourbon Street and consider her very talented father Mr. Raymond Fletcher a mentor. I have not been able to stop thinking about the terrible pain and loss that your family must endure to lose such a beautiful shining light of your lives. My son was a very big fan of your daughter and tells me she was the best. May God bless you and keep you through this difficult time, Ms. Brenda, Raymond, and family.
