“Cadell.
I’m so sorry I had to rush off last night to get my friends into the house and didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you and Paul. You were everything I wanted my party to be and so much more. My guests have not stopped talking to me about it. I also just loved both your energies in the room and hope our paths cross at another party soon; no doubt they will.
❤️ G 💃🏾”
