Less than two weeks after the tragic suicide of her 18-year-old son, Michael Blosil, Marie Osmond took to the stage Tuesday night in Las Vegas. For many, the performance came uncomfortably soon for the grieving performer. For Marie, it was part of the healing process.

"God bless you all," she said. "The way Osmonds survive is we keep singing and that's what we want to do tonight. I know my son would want that."

Marie and brother Donny's teary return to the Flamingo came the day after her son's funeral. Donny offered support to his sister and long-time stage partner as the two sang for the packed house. After Marie delivered an emotional solo tribute to Michael, who she called "my angel," Donny said: "How she got through that I will never know. I hope you all appreciate what she's going through tonight. She's a strong woman."

Marie credited her strong Mormon faith for helping her through the ordeal. "Little did I know I would be relying on my faith, especially as much as I did this past week," she said from the stage.
