PROVO - Last August, Nathan Osmond took advantage of the opportunity to video-record his children sitting on their great-grandfather's lap during a special family home evening. For the first time, that same night, he performed the song he had promised his grandfather, George Osmond, he would write for him many years earlier.

"I knew it wouldn't be much longer," Nathan Osmond said, "I had to carry through with my promise."

What a great way to go: " . . . Mr. Osmond died from natural causes incident to his age. He had not been ill."

I hope folks will take the time to read the entire article. A great tribute to a great gentleman.

Mr. Osmond and his wife, Olive, formed the Osmond Foundation, which later became the Children's Miracle Network, a nonprofit organization that raises funds for children's hospitals.

This is something about them I didn't know. Mr and Mrs Osmond are probably dancing together in Heaven right now.

Donnie and Marie had a tv show a few years that I really enjoyed. Watched it over Oprah and all the others. They had Dennis Franz on once and I would love to find a video of that.
