"I'd just like to say thank you to everybody," said Osmond, according to People. "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."

"This is just, you know, an insurmountable loss for her, but Marie's tough and she has her very strong faith and her phenomenal family and just seeing all of the Osmonds once again pulling together to support one another, and to see their love, is just way beyond anything that can be contained in this church."

He was in excellent spirits. I've seen him throughout the years, but on this particular day, he and Marie were so excited about him attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in L.A.

Hart also echoed that Osmond "is finding solace in her faith and her family."
"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," she said.
