Singing for Hearing Aids: Why the Osmond Brothers Started
I have a son who’s autistic and non verbal and I do the best I can
I saw a video in which Tom was being interviewed and wondered how Virl's speech was clearer than Tom's. I didn't realize that Virl's hearing impairment was less severe than Tom's. I have to say that Mr. and Mrs. Osmond have nothing but my love and respect for the values they've instilled in their children.
Im so sorry there's no word's for the loss of a child at any age sending prayers our deepest sympathy 🙏 ❤😢
You both inspire me. Thank you for sharing your stories and experiences. I am currently trying to get diagnosed, as my doctors believe that I have a problem with my central nervous system. I have every symptom of MS, and I am scared.😭 I love my doctors, Jeremy Joyal and Geoff Osmond, and I have a huge amount of respect and trust in them both. So blessed and grateful for them. All my best to you both, Alan and David! 🙏🏻🫶🏻💜💫
Awesome Marie. You such an inspiration to me. Love you
So sad. Lost my eldest son the same way. Did not wake up for work . 4 years ago and it still feels like yesterday I lost him. They will live forever in our hearts. SStrongs

That’s good advice, Travis.

Great👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tom osmond you are truly amazing & I feel very blessed that we grew up together but lived in different states this lady loves her Osmonds dearly ❤❤
He is so right.
PS: my family rejected me bc i would not get the stick over epidemic and my mom died recently and they would not let me see her for a year before she passed away. I'm sad and I can't go out much. I can't work bcI'm approached by people, especially men who lack decency. I don't see myself like that. But i attract everything. Snakes, butterflies, same gender, gay. I'm getting used to it but on my end only silence and ipad. fish swim WITH me by my head in ocean, stink bugs, etc. I like it if I have support. I have no friends or family close. My son lives in Vermont. I'm from La. And in Texas. Love❤😅
I am mates with Chris and Spencer two of there sons also there twins there amazing ... Chris served in the Leeds England mission UK and Spencer served Scotland and Ireland mission
Marie is my role model!!!
This is so sad. God bless Troy and his wonderful parents. ❤
Hello Tom osmond brother too the osmond brother
Travis! You are such a positive person. Loved the advice you gave.
Subbbed
My father Ray Ely thought alot of you Virl... you are so full of love and light. Well done video!
Such a gentle soul. I love you, Virl!
Tom Osmond puts most of us to shame. I wish I were more like him. Thank you, Mr. Osmond, for being an example to all of us.
❤🤟🏻❤️🤟🏻
I was adopted and knew that God had a special plan for me
You sure make me happy
I lost my 24 year old son also named Troy. He also died in his sleep. It’s been 9 years and I still miss him every day.
Boy, I am really sorry for your loss. God bless both of you and Jesus name amen.
You are so loved Virl. I am so proud to have met you at Branson. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Osmonds stand strong to their faith throughout their entire public lives and private lives and show how God carries them through no matter what the life challenge is. When I was young, I loved their music. As I grew up, I paid attention to how they dealt with life's blows and took lemons always making lemonade. I hope they all know how many millions of us paid attention to the way they've handled lifes trials and took notes and were inspired to stand fast in faith as well.
I LOVE THE OSMOND FAMILY SO MUCH THAN DO NOT GIVE UP 💗🎉😊❤❤❤
the Osmonds are great ambassadors for what life should be about, love and caring for you family, friends and the people around them. they even share that love with their fans.
You osmonds are such time models.. ❤❤❤ thank you. I'm in awe
God bless you ❤
My Mother , my middle brother had, and the younger of my brothers has MS. It is an unfair disease , I hate the fact that in the 40 years since my mother passed,there is still not enough information and help available. I wish Alan and David well and hope they remain a true inspiration for fighting this disease.
Absolutely beautiful. Fantastic story and I have a son Shane. Beautiful ❤
My son Callum who has Downs syndrome ( the DS part is insignificant) he brings us so much joy. He was diagnosed with a heart aneurysm, out of the blue. I couldn't eat or sleep or really talk to anybody. He had a 50/50 chance . It has changed my outlook on life. Luckily he's still here doing my head in thankfully every day. I haven't always been kind, but I'm trying every day to thank God and be a better person I have you on my heart, Merrill and Mary and family ❤
You are doing so much for people who can't hear God Bless you your Grandmother would be very proud of you!❤
Overweight, big belly, too much pressure and weight around his heart. Looks unfit, and from the looks of things just didn't exercise. Don't think he had a broken heart .....thinking he didn't look after his body in a spiritual way. Apologies but anyone can see these things from a mile away.
Everything happens for a reason. God uses everything, good, bad, challenging, and ugly then turns it around for His glory. ❤ Virl and Tom were the catalysts to the Osmond Brothers fame, and God's glory through them.
How touching! But then, that is what love is all about! Caring for one another!
Loved the Osmonds, always wanted to know more about Virl and Tom. 🙂
Yes Shane please look after him he means the world to us fans
I remember seeing your first born pictures in Tiger Beat, I am like wow! We all make mistakes, little and big ones. We carry on.
