Marie Osmond has been in seclusion since her son’s death. Donny and Marie Osmond had been in Las Vegas doing a show. The show has been on hold since last Saturday. Saturday, Donny Osmond told Entertainment Tonight: "Please pray for my sister and her family."
ABC News reported this statement from Marie Osmond who said that the family is “devastated and in deep shock by the tragic loss of our dear Michael and ask that everyone respect our privacy during this difficult time.”
“You can bet she has loving arms around her,” Hart said of Marie Osmond. “The Osmonds are a very close-knit family and, in times of loss or tragedy, they support each other and really band together as a family, and in love.”

i so srorry what happen i think for you you
I was hoping that the Flamingo Hotel owners would have a heart and let her have a few days after the funeral before she has to go do an upbeat energetic show. They not only have to do a show the next night but also have to do extra to make up for lost days. Their contract has them there until 2012 so they have lots of time to make up the other shows. How cruel can you be!!!
My heart goes out to Marie,Brian and family and friends.
Marie and Brian and their families are in my heart and prayers.
Depression certainly can be a terminal illness. I am so very sorry for the loss of this dear child.
Dear Marie,
The lose of a child is the hardest on a mothers heart.Remember how much Michael and you loved and shaired with all of you and never let go.Find a copy of The Plan by your brothers and play it. The songs on it helped me so much when I lost my twins Orry and Gracie, Reminding me that with Gods plan we will all be together some day. I love you and you are in my prayers. May God bless and watch over you and the family.
