Thank you, for ALL THE MEMORIES, from a kid from from Bountiful, Utah, at 10 years old, to Donny and Marie, in Twisp, WA, to Rick's College, Dorm 6, and my roomier, from Las Vega, Nevada, ONLY LISTENED TO, THE Osmonds and Jackson 5, in 1980/ 1981!!! Marie bought her Wedding Invations, there, that went, (not sure, but, even the President, of the USA, received an invitation, from Rexburg, ID!) I just wish to THANK YOU, AND YOUR AMAZING, TALENTED FAMILY, FOR ALL THE FUN, AND "THROUGH THE YEARS!!!" Music and laughter, is truly, "The, VERY BEST, "MEDICINE," in life! I now live close to the Portland Oregon Temple. Again, I thank you and your families' talent, to get me through it all! And Donny, my Aunt Karen, from Center ST, Bountiful, helped you, with your needs, with your, "phone service needs!!! She asked you, "are you, if you were, "legit," and sent her an autographed picture to her!" SHE may have only been, 1 FAN of yours, BUT, it meant the WORLD to her, for your kindness!!! Again, THANK YOU, for making HARD, TOUGH DAYS, "BEARABLE, AND BETTER!" AS Elton John's, "YOUR SONG," BEAUTIFUL LYRICS STATE..."HOW WONDERFUL LIFE IS, WHILE YOU'RE IN THE WORLD!!!" THANK YOU...ALL OSMONDS, for your love and talent to the world!!! A FAN OF ALL OF YOU, since Andy's show in the 60's!!! God Bless you ALL!!!

‘Tis indeed hard to say goodbye. Merrill’s voice is still strong and beautiful, so he’s bowing out while on top. He’s 69yo so it’s ok for him to do something less strenuous, we’ll miss him but we’ll be just fine. Donny may not be too far behind, he’ll be 65 this December and if his & Debbie’s health holds out he’ll keep going for at least 4yrs.
