Marie Osmond Lays Son to Rest With Words of Thanks

By PopEater Staff Posted Mar 8th 2010 08:02PM

The Osmond family held a funeral for Marie Osmond's 18-year-old son, Michael Blosil, on Monday, in Provo, Utah.

In attendance were Marie's brother Donny, and Michael's biological mother Marie, PEOPLE reports.

"I'd just like to say thank you to everybody. As you see I have amazing support from great men, my family, my brothers. God was very wise when he put me into a family with honorable men because they have served as examples for my children," Marie said, although she hadn't planned on speaking.

"I'm so proud of each and every one of you," she added of her children. "I'm proud of my son and I honor his birth mother who's here today, who gave me the greatest gift. Thank you for those beautiful 18 years."

Blosil committed suicide in late February. He was adopted while Osmond was married to her ex-husband, Brian Blosil.

Donny Osmond performed the invocation at the funeral. "Bless my sister. Bless my sister and her family. May she feel my love and my comfort," he said through tears.

Michael's siblings also spoke fondly of their brother.

"Michael never forgot my birthday. That's a big deal in a family that's as big as mine! ... The house was more fun when he was home. We had dance competitions to Miley Cyrus songs. He would make up words and sing along. We'd have whipped cream fights in the kitchen," 12-year-old Brianna remembered.

His 17-year-old sister Rachael described what was going through her mind. "All I had in my mind were questions, most beginning with what if, what if I had done this, what if I had done that, I shouldn't have done this, I should have done that. We always thought he was going to get married first and have kids. We wanted to go to school together next year."

If your little poem is supposed to be funny, then you've won the Razzie award for cold-hearted.

God be with you Maria

Ignore the real dumb fuk, Myron. Your heart is in the right place. Too bad these idiots brains were.
Only no-balls idiots write crap like that on these message boards.

Um...hello Popeater...Marie Osmond's son's name was Michael BLOSIL, not Michael OSMOND. His correct name, Michael Blosil, has been all over every report, and in every article, except YOURS. Sorry but that's a big, dumb oversight, and very sloppy work.

By BAC

Actually he just recently changed his last name. I believe he changed it to Bryan, but I could be wrong about the correct last name. He changed his name due to the fact he held no respect for his father.

By carol

Jenny, did you READ the article...nowhere does it report the last name as Osmond. Get off your bandwagon...no one elected you the proof reader anyway.

By bevie

Actually, he legally changed his last name to Bryan, which has also been in all of the news.

By mkountrykidd97

If you read the article it does name him as Michael Blosil and not Osmond. Maybe it was a typo.

Hello JennyT. Dumb oversight!!!! You idiot can you read or did you skip that part at school, or did you go to school? For you limited mind here's the very first paragraph of the article:

"The Osmond family held a funeral for Marie Osmond's 18-year-old son, Michael Blosil, on Monday, in Provo, Utah."

No where else in the article did it mentioned that the late son's name is Michael Osmond.

My heartfelt condolence to the Osmond family, especially Marie the adopted mother and Marie the biological mother. God be with you all in this your time of grief.

Actually, it's Michael BRYAN. He had it legally changed. I don't know if he had it changed bc he had no respect for his father but I suspect not because his father's FIRST name is actually Brian. I think it was probably purely for cosmetic reasons? Anyone can correct me.

By Sandy Bevington

Who are you to bash anyone you can not tell a person how to gris doing what she has to do to get through this tough time.eave. maybe work is therapy for her and she

By Lou

You are a dirt bag. That plain that simple.

By Sandy

Sorry I ment to say that person that said she didnt care about her son by going back to work. Who dothey think they are? You can not tell someone how to greave. Maybe work is therapy for her and that is what she needs right now.

By susan

While I know Marie is a workaholic and always has been due to her upbringing. Unless the children would starve, I can't imagein any parent going back to work the very next day after the bury their child.

also, out of all the footage and all the articles, Brian was never mentioned or seen. I wonder if he was even there.

By Deb

JennyT, You are both wrong. His name was Micheal Bryan. He changed his last name to Bryan after he and his father became estranged.

OK but the point I was trying to make is that he is not, and was not EVER, Michael OSMOND.

By bait

Yeah, but his father's name is Bryan Blosil. So how is using Bryan an insult to his dad?

By kat

It does not matter what Micheal's last name was I just think it's sad he was only 18 that's to young to die so sorry Marie and to his family
