Benefit Concert

What a spectacular evening this has been!  It is simply amazing how much talent was displayed tonight.  We are told that even before we were born to our earthly parents that we developed talents that we could further improve and refine.  These talents are meant to benefit our families and others during our lifetime.  The fine musicians that performed at tonight’s benefit concert definitely have done that.  I can’t begin to express how beautiful the music was.  I was shocked and awed at the age of some of the performers.  I could have been sitting in Abravanel Hall and heard the same quality of music.   I personally felt a peace and serenity that only music can bring.  The concert provided needed monetary assistance and moral support for Tyler and his family. 

On behalf of the Olsen immediate and extended family we would like to offer the sincerest of thanks and deepest gratitude to the performers tonight and all those that had a hand in bringing this benefit concert to fruition.  We truly will forever hold a special place in our hearts for you.  Thanks for loving our Tyler and his family.

More pictures are coming!  On several occasions I forgot to take pictures because I was caught up in the moment.  Darrell and Jenny Babidge; Levi Hunt, Chelsea Lukens and Bethany Richard's pictures are coming soon!

 Holly Hunt, Levi Hunt, Emily Richards, Jessica Hunt (David Hunt and Bethany Richards at the piano - pictures coming).  These 5 stole the show.  The majority of pieces were performed by these amazing musicians.  I get chills just thinking about some of their pieces.

The Hunts (who performed and organized the event) with Tyler.  Also is the owner of the reception center who donated the facility for the night.

 John expressed thanks to the performers, those in attendance and all who have had a hand in helping Tyler the last 5 1/2 weeks.  "I have seen God's hands in the middle of this... he has been working through you".

Kelly Allvord is a lifesaver!  He took out an insurance policy and was trained to drive the rehabilitation center's wheelchair accessible van.  He did all of this to  help Tyler get around safely tonight, tomorrow for Tyler's birthday, Christmas Eve and Christmas.  THANK YOU KELLY!!!
