Marie Osmond, yesterday and today

Thanks for this great article! The news about the Osmonds performing after 25 years brought back memories of my adoration of all the Osmonds when I was a teenager. It was great to read about Marie and to find out about what she has done after the end of the Donny and Marie show. The details about her life and her kids are great. It would be nice to see a snapshot of her family.

i think that marie is doing very well without her former husband brian because she comes from a good mormon family she has got all of her brothers alan wayne merrill jay donny jimmy and her two older brothers that are deaf and they are called virl and tommy and she has got two good parents whos names are george and olive but sadly her mother olive died a fews years ago but her father george is still alive and they have the same birthday the 13th of october and they and the rest of the osmonds belong to the church of jesus christ of latter day saints

i would like to say to marie osmond and her family good luck in her without her husband brian because after all she has got her children to keep her company all the best marie osmond from susan duncan

Thank you for putting this article on the internet. It lets us out here know how she is doing. Marie is a bright light that shines when she walks into a room and I appreciate all of her contributions to people.

I THINK MARIE HAS DONE VERY WELL FOR HERSELF & GOOD LUCK IN DANCING WITH THE STARS. YOU LOOKED VERY NICE IN YOUR DANCING. I LOVE TO SEE THAT SHOW.

You are a very beautiful woman. Keep up the good work. You are amazing to watch while you dance. Makes a woman feel like she can do anything if she puts her mind to it!

Been a favorite of mine since i was in my late teens, donny too, have all of your vinyl albums, still,and your family's. Always dreamed of a day i would meet you. now i am 52, and still enjoy everything you do. just wanted to say, god bless you and your family. you have truly been an inspiration, to mine.

Marie: It has been so wonderful for me to see you on Dancing with the Stars. You will continue to get my votes everytime. We all know that you do not have to win the Dancing with the Stars contest to prove anything. You've already proven too all of us who love you, just how special you are. You are not only a beautiful woman outside, but also on the inside - the way you have lived your life proves this. I love you because you have such high moral standards,and your talents and gifts bring such joy to others. The biggest thing that makes you so special is that it's also plain to see that God is in your life. May He bless and keep you and your family in His care, always.
Love and blessings to you,

I'm sure you're use to hearing how pretty, and wanderful you look, well u do. sure would be nice if u could introduce your family in person, on a show, like u did 4 donny, on an old d&m show. I've always thought any member of the Osmonds were awesome!!!!! u know I know that you're a very busy person, I'd like 2 meet you one day I went to an old concert u did in the 90's in Pleasanton Cal, @ a fair, girl it was so hot your make up was dripping wright off your face, I'm actually surprised u held on that's dedication!!!! and I thank you for that.I had to cut in line to see that concert but it was well worth it. and yes u will make it on dancing with the starz, cuz your that good!!I read your book 4 the many x's and still love it! I can relate and I don't even suffer from post prdom, depression. u do have a big heart and you feel big time I do admire that

Dear Marie,
I have been an Osmond fan forevery! My friend and I drove 4 hours a couple years ago to a cd signing with Donny! He was so nice, and we got a hug! I also made into his cookbook!!! We are coming to Effingham to see you. I wish I had your courage and strength. God Bless You. You seem so happy. I hope to find that courage.

Dear Marie,
I saw you and your family today on Oprah, You and your family are very special you have such a sincere Laugh and way about you My Sympathy to you and your family your Father seemed like a Wonderful man and it reflects on the way you and your whole family have turned out. Thank you for all your Courage you make me feel like I could get a better grip on my life I need to :) Thanks again.

I also saw you on the Oprah show., you are an awesome woman. My favorite comment you made was...you can climb a mountain or crawl into a whole..I am also a new single mother...and there are days i'd like to just climb into a whole..you will give me motivatoin and inspire me to climb that mountain.

Sometimes seeing others triumph in tragedy helps
us put our own lives in perspective. I am LDS,
not active, but ironically live the principles.
My husband is agnostic, and unlike the norm, watched
the show tonight because of the infinity I felt
in watching what I knew was true family unity
interwoven by principles taught that are so
uniquely simple yet profound. I am so proud of
you all, and my husband was touched I felt by
your generous spirits, humility, love for each
other, and you just were blessed to have the close
knit families we always dreamed of having but
weren't blessed with. I suppose you became our
surrogate family, and inspire. It was a treat.
You are all beautiful, and it is obvious your
parents created a home filled with love. God
bless you for holding to standards in spite of
everyday challenges. You give us hope. And a
desire to let that spirit once again lead the
way. Our children are such blessings, and look at
you....I raised two alone, and it was a feat, and
I see your family and wish I could have had what
you have. BLESS YOU ALL...Oprah too!
