I wanted to say, thank you so much. I got to see Justine’s memorial event from a far, I watched it live from London, and it looked like it went off without a hitch. I was so excited to see the memorial go off so successfully. I know you were the critical person in pulling it all together. I just wanted to do a post event wrap and I wanted to express my appreciation and gratitude.
Events are a TON of work. And to pull off a World Class event expertise is needed to make the day flawless, valuable and productive. Carolyn is a true professional. She works hard to make the best things happen throughout the process and it shows from her binders & post event summary to her presence at the day to keep things flowing. I can’t wait to work with her again. She’s a rock star.
Carolyn, you helped carry an entire community through this loss by honoring Justine in a magical way. I will always have such gratitude for you.
Beautiful memorial last night. Well planned. Healing energy. Thank you.
