Marshall and Amanda Joyce want to thank everyone in their lives who made the benefit for Marshall a success!!! The food was great, the music marvelous, and the people that came the best! Our hearts are grateful and our financial burdens were made a little easier.
On 3/3/12 (Marshall's favorite number is 3), friends and family gathered to eat some great food and hear some wonderful music. And we know there were many there during the day before the show started that we want to thank as well! The real stars of the show were Cyndi and Tyrel- they worked so hard to organize everything. Special thanks to our Papa Tucci Mirsaid and his wonderful staff who also worked so hard.
What an amazing experience to be so closely involved in such a wonderful cause, and to realize how many generous and good people exist all around us. We love you all. We definitely will keep that wonderful feeling with us and it was much needed this last week as things got so rough. The roughest parts are still to come for Marshall, but he was on the stage doing what he loved for about an hour! When the night started he wasn't feeling wonderfully, but music is seriously his best medicine. As he sang and played I could literally see his color return and his demeanor change to happiness. All of our spirits were lifted and I hope yours were too.
It was fun to watch his brother and him perform together as well. They've always played so rad together and this event made me cry as I watched the brotherly love shine. There's nothing better at a time when a family member is going through something rough to know how much Marshall is cared for- not to mention it takes a little stress off of me as the caregiver.
As we like to say at our house now "air bones" for all who supported! It was so much fun we may have to do it again next year :)

I am so happy the benefit turned out to be a success. I am sorry I was not able to attend. I'm sure you and Marshall sounded amazing as usual. :)
ReplyDeleteEvent was popilated with wonderful people, music to die for and food that made you love everyone even more! Thanks to all who helped and donated. We love all of you!
ReplyDeleteOkay so we weren't able to be there for the big jam session (which we were sad about) but we did enjoy our delicious food especially the turtle cheesecake, enough to eat one piece there and get another to take home. shhh don't tell. we love you very much and hope that you can feel our love. I pray that you will continue to have the strength of the Lord within you and that you can make choices that you feel are directed by Him. STAY STRONG.
