Mi querido Amigo Freddy,Quiza no te aquerdes de m, pero tu siempre haz estado en mis requerdos y corazon. Como companieros de la musica, y amigos de los tiempos en Brownsville. Me e interado de tu enfermedad. Lo siento mucho, pero espero que Dios te de fe Y con todo el mundo quien te adora te mejores que son mis mayores deseos.
Espero que para el 6 de mayo cuando te presentaras en Shreveport estes mejorado.

Te aquerdas de las veces que ivamos a matamoros despues de nuestras tocadas. Y le seguimos pachangiando. Yo si me aquerdo de todo. I'm still singing in the east Texas area, better than ever, Freddy. Only I haven't gotten that BIG BREAK yet! Maybe soon, God willing, I'm not giving up, Buddy. I know of your illness and I wish there was something I could do to help you, my friend.Feel free to call me or my husband Joe Green (903)753-9476..Longview, Tx.75605 E-MAIL:GREENROD9465@EARTHLINK.NET....

Hi! My name is Isobelle Louise P. Mahimer. I like to check
the website of Menudo and Ricky Martin's concert here Hawaii.
I've seen the Behind Music of Ricky Martin. The Menudo performed
and made a video here in Hawaii. It seem they did a good job what
they are doing.
Well! I hope to hear from you.

Freddy,
Met you in Decatur, Illinois when you played with Jerry Lee Lewis. While we were in the Lounge, you were so kind to invite our group to your table, you were very hospitable.
Just a couple of years ago you while performing at Laughlin, my sister asked you to call my mother, who has always been a great fan of yours, and to here surprise, you called. Freddy, my mother is now 91 years old and is very concerned about you. She is praying for you and hopes that everything will be OK. I was in the audience in Indio this past spring at the Date Festival - I thoroughly enjoyed your concert and I too hope that you are feeling better.

Two Great Fans,

Hey, Freddy! I just dropped by to say "hola" and wish you and your the very best. I am always so very proud to brag about being in the right place at the right time when we recorded "Wasted Days" and Dryl Norris couldn't make the session so I got to play drums on the song. Say.... do you remember that July 4th gig in Poteau, Oklahoma waaaaay back in '76 ("Wolf Mountain Weekend") ???? WOW! We flew you in to the backstage area in a chopper! HAHAHAHA! How did we all live through THAT one!?? Come by my site anytime, old friend. God Bless..........

Dear Freddy,I am a big fan and always have been. I won't say any dates because it makes " us " sound old. I hope you are feeling better and hanging in there. My husband has the same illness, with no signs yet. I hope you have nothing to do but read your email as you should be taking it easy.I have seen you in person and missed you at 4th & B . I pray along with all your fans and family for your health to be restored. Love all the great music you have given us and as you see here, you have a lot of "older" groupies,and the young ones too, out here waiting for the next song and concert.. and still listening to the past hits."

recording of 'Limo' and getting the Pic's for you to see.
My question--do you really read these messages or is it a fan club.

Freddy,
Im just signing this for my mother "Maria Soccoro Mesa". I have heard many stories about you and my Tio Charlio Mesa growing up as childern down in the Vally. You were here some time ago in Minnesota and my mother asked the security gaurd if she could go back ask say hello. You told the gaurd to bring her back ASAP. You don't know how much she has appreciated you taking the time to talk to her about the good ol' days and dedicating almost every song to her. I myself need to tell you THANK YOU. She is not doing to well these days. She has gone blind due to Diabetis and now all she has is your memories of the good ol days. As for my Tio Charlio Mesa, I regretfully have to say he has past away this past Dec. 27,2000. He will be missed as I know you will miss him also. You will be in my prayers and I wish for you to get well soon.. I wish I would have had the pleasure of meeting you and sing a song together for my mother. If that was to happen... heck.. I dont know what I would do. But I will keep sing Karaoke of your music to her , as this makes her smile. Get well soon from my mother 'Maria Soccoro' and myself and you will be in our prayers. God Bless.

DEAR FREDDY: Yesterday we drove 7 hrs from Gainesville to Homestead Fl. to have the opportunity to see you in concert. The opening act came on almost an hour late due to technical difficulties ( so they said ) but we waited patiently for you to take the stage. You can imagine what happened when they announced that you had taken ill and would not be appearing. The audience was devistated. You see it was not for the music but for you the man. We immediately offered up some prayers for your recovery. I know that your family is preoccupied with caring for you, but if there is someone who could let us know how you are doing it would greatly be appreciated. We only have access to this site in most cases for any update. Personal to Freddy, you should know that from the crowds reaction that you are loved and cared about greatly. All you fans and friends are wishing you only the best. You are loved by many. Please keep fighting, you are in our prayers. Always Barbara Ann

HI, it's me again. I was just able to secure tickets to your concert Saturday night in Homestead, Fl. It is going to take some fancy footwork to get there but I am determined.It is a 7 hour ride and I have to work Sat. Morning We will be pushing it to get there in time to see you take the stage. Wish me luck. I hope to see you at the post concert party. I could not believe that you are actually going to be close enough for me to see you. I recently ordered several of your CDs and cassettes I cant wait for them to arrive. I love to listen to you sing just about anything but I especially enjoy when you sing in Spanish it has sparked my interest in relearning the language. I probably understand more than I can speak but I hope to be able to speak fluently in just a matter of time. I hope this message finds you feeling well. My prayers are with you. Keep fighting. Always Barbara

So when can you come back to WA to sing again for me, but this time only for me my birthday is on November 26 I will be waiting for you. Your performance was outstanding. I run a Resort at La Push , WA we are on the beach when ever you want to get away from the world this is the place. I will give the nights that you want on me.

Freddy, I hope you are doing well. Are you going to be on any TV shows in the near future?? I always think of you being on the Nash Bridges Show or David Letterman. Also, we have been talking about a song that has a lyric; "Take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife, say; I won't be coming home, got to start a new life" I know I heard you sing that song before but someone here at work said it was Tony Orlando. I know he sang he song, too. Did you write it? What is the title? Is it on any of your albums? I looked through them on the site but did not see a title that I thought fit the song. If someone gives replies, I hope I receive one. Best of luck to you.

I got to see you for the first time at the Emerald Queen Friday night. I was seated very close to the stage, so I was able to get the full effect of your mesmerizing performanace. You have so much magnetism and charisma and I am more of a fan than I ever was before. I was so moved by the passion you express in your music. It is so good to hear an entertainer who sings with so much feeling and is able to convey that to the audience. The look in your eyes was of a person who has overcome many defeats and won many victories. You are an inspiration and I will never forget your show and how you so captivated me. See you next time you are in this area! Linda Smith, Tacoma, Wa Feb 25, 2001

Freddy: I hope your doing better. I Email a couple of my friends from the Calif, Days, Like Don (Buck) Felts. He told me of some other friends that I hadn't heard from in Years. Vangie, I still haven't received or heard from anyone who has pictrures of our years together on the Road. I also would like to get a copy of the TV show we did in Canada on Ronnie Propfet Show. Or any other show we did. Anyway I hope your doing fine and that you get well soon. Vangie, You keep your chin up. Freddy will get better. He such a fighter and God is with both of you to get through this. I know I Pray for Freddy and you every night. Also at each of my shows A prayer is given on stage each night.

Freddy,
I wanted to thank you again for being generous for a pic. I'm pretty sure I said
Vangie's name right but if I didn't I'm sorry. As for the show "SUAVE", Abe always keeps your legacy alive for people by playing your videos
every couple weeks and the interview every couple months that you gave us 2 yrs ago. Our prayers and love are with you and hope that you stay strong and get well.
Not only we want you to but the fans as well. Last night's concert at the Emerald Queen Casino was absolutely fantastic. Hopefully you might be able to get one of these
electric and vibrant performances on CD or Video or DVD. I talked to alot of people last night and they would love to see a concert like that imortalized on a digital disc.
Like I said before thank you for all you have done. I will never forget how kind and patient you were and that I got to meet a wonderful legend twice..

Hi Freddy,
I wanted to see you back in September but I had surgery on Aug.31,2000.I tried to give my ticket away but nobody wanted to go, I had front row seats to see you and Little Joe.I saw Little Joe at Las Vegas in December.I heard last night at a concert in 4th & B in San Diego, from Sabastian Gomez, that is a promoter that brought you here at the staff club on base, and he told me that you were ill.Take one day at a time and God will be with you and I will pray for you.You've been my idol since I was 15, when I first saw you at Del Mar Fairgrounds.I saw you back in December of 99 and got to talk to you then.I missed you last time in Indio, Ca on the 17th.Take care of yourself and I'll write to you soon.Please come back to this area!!

You have hardcore fans in Solano County; even though your flight was delayed, no one left the theater before you arrived. The band played for two hours while we waited for you. Your illness came as a big surprise to me & I want you to know that I am praying for you. Cuidate mucho, Lucy

Dear Mr. Fender. I never had the chance to meet you face to face, but I have known about you for a long, long, long, time, in fact I use to work for an alarm company that has the contract with you on your home alarm system, and we had to respond to your home a couple of times on a false alarm thank goodness it was false alarm, because I would never want any thing to happen to you or your family or home. I just thought I would send you best wishes, and may God Bless you and watch over you, yours truly gary laird from corpus christi, texas. I would have like to meet you face to face and at least shake your hand.

Hi Freddiy,
Sorry to hear about your illness We carught your show
with Auggie and the rest of the rest of the group last December at The Hop and it was announced over the radio the next day. -I know you'll have a speedy recovery. I videotaped your concert in Sparks Nevada backin 1995 gave you a copy later that year when you
appeared in San Bernardino, Ca later that year.
I hope you were able to see it and enjoy it
You were really cool about it and I always wanted to
let you know I really appreciated it and I've been your
avid fan ever since
We'll be checking your schedule and see you when you're back out this
way --Maybe in Indio.

Hi Freddy! I was raised on your music in the 70's and loved it. You have a voice straight from the heavens! My daughter recently asked, "who's Freddy Fender?" when I requested one of your cd's for Christmas. She found it for me & I play it every nite while I'm on the computer. (She's hooked on your music now too!)
I was hoping you would be coming to Canada soon so I could take her to your concert. Then I was so saddened to hear of what you are going through with your illness. Hang tough though! You are dearly loved by all your fans.
You keep a positive attitude, we'll keep the prayer chain going & sooner than you think, my daughter and I will be sitting in front row center listening to your beautiful voice!!! It will happen... my husband was on his death bed 2 1/2 yrs. ago....but with POSITIVE THINKING and constant prayers, he's back with us, healthy and strong again.
Feel our Love and Best Wishes for you, and strength for your loving family.
Waiting patiently & praying daily in Canada for you,

Hey Freddie
You were our first show at Hon-Dah Casino in AZ, I don't think you ever knew we were still hanging cans an hour before the show, the only gels we had were purple, as a result YOU were purple all night. Hope you didn't think we planned that. Anyway, you were a perfect gentleman about it, great show. I am doing a summer series concert here and am thinking you would be the perfect act to close the series, kind of bring it all home. Let me know, all my best. mark

I'm still having trouble with the old ticker. Now I can keep in touch with you. I went through all the messages and found some of my old friends when I was in Calif. I will contact them. You know this would be a good time to see if any of your fans have pictures of all of us on stage back in 70's. I would sure like to see or get copies. As you know, I'm having a little trouble working this PC, but I' having a ball. It seems so strange that I started out playing Bass with you than Piano. I do love seeing the guys Augie,charles jr, and the rest. I do miss Doug and want everybody know what a great enterainer & friend he was. We who knew him as friend and his fans will miss him. Well Freddy, I/m still playing in CO,Nebr, Wy etc. As a single, I do miss the Bands. Vangie keep him in line, also take of yourself. You all in my prayers.

Hi Freddy,
My wife asked me to read this articl in the "Ledger" (Lakeland, Florida) titled "Fender Accepts Fate of Hepatitis C" by John Tedesco of the San Antonnio Express News.
My wife has much in common with you. After my wife recuperated from a five hour sleep appnea operation, we went to Portugal for a holiday. Upon return came to our winter home in Florida. Not long after this my wife became ill. After a few days a doctor suggested a possible serious liver problem. Our insurance provider ordered my wife fly home the next (Peterborough, Ontario).
It took months to find out she had Hepatitis Auto Immune which they say was probably in the system and surfaced after extensive anesthetics. Although a none drinker she has acquired Chronic Hepatitis and is stuck with a half a dozen pills daily. After reading your plight she is fortunate.
In closing I wish you well with your battle.

Hi! Balde,

Do you remember me??? Samuel Valdez's daughter Juanita. My son was asking all about you because he read the newspaper about you. I told him that the last time I saw you, we were on our way to New Mexico in the back of my Uncle Carlos's truck to work the onion fields. I remember getting very car sick and you giving me Juicy Fruit Gum and you told me that it would help me with the car sickness. I also remember all the songs that you sang while we worked to cheer us up. What I really wanted to say, is that I am sorry that I never stayed in touch with you and that I wanted to say that you have always been in my thoughts and I pray that you will get well soon. Please let me hear from you.

God Bless,

My wife and I have enjoyed U and your music over the years. It is rather ironic I was in New Hampshire last year and had not thought of your music in a long time. My friend has a cousin that is a Vice President at a bank. We went to A Red Sox game and we were talking about country music and blues. Low and behold I mentioned your name and said I have heard nothing in years and he came to a party that I was attending and he said U like Fender look in my duffle bag and he had cd's galore , Fender. He told me to take the one I wanted. Needless to say it has Wasted Days, and Wasted Nights, Till the Next Teardrop falls, etc. My wife has spent 8 hours of listening to the same cd today. You have had one hell of a career and brought a great deal of enjoyment to a world of people!!!!!!!!!!! May GOD bless
and all end well with U.

Hi Freddy,
I read the article that was in my newspaper today (1-29-2001) about your struggle with Hep C. I was diagnosed with Hep C about 4 years ago and have been down the interferon road also trying to get rid of it. I picked up Hep C from numerous blood transfusions due to a vehicle accident in 1985. I know what you are going thru with Hep C - the current treatments make you sicker just trying to get well (just like chemotherapy for cancer). I remember very well your music contributions to us all, keep on playing that guitar of yours and sing. I would like to hear how you are doing with your recovery in the future if you could e-mail me and stay in touch.
Thank you,
Dave

I read the article about you in a Calif. newspaper and it was wonderful and brought me up to date on you, your condition and to find out that Vangie is your wife. Lucky you, she is such a nice person and the cross she is carrying right now is not a light one but must weigh a ton. Bless both of you and with this comes our love and prayers. The Dudes.

Ola! Freddy: As I'm sitting here in San Jo. Looking at a picture of you and my daughter, which hangs in my office wall. I was thinking of the good old day at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds ('70-'76) when you worked for me. It was a long, long time ago, and You, as well as I have been down that winding road many times. But, Thank God! We know that at the end of that road. Both of as will find El lucero de Dios! Thanks for being my friend...Si se Puede!!! Manuel Moreno

Freddy my Man,
Hope your feeling well.I live in Midland and have always enjoyed your music. I worked at an Exxon in 1972 (I believe)
and filled your bus up with gas about 3:00 am in the morning.Seem's like you were headed to another show. Sorry to hear about your kids and liv. Im going through the same deal with looking for a liver transplant because of Hepatitis C. I was diagnosed 5 years ago and it's starting to catch with me. I have no idea where I could have gotton it from, but the doctor told me I could have had it since high school. You think there's there's any relation between
hep. C and Bad Gas at Exxon? (Just Kidding) Anyway, I'll keep you in my prayers and get down on your jams.
Keep Your Chin Up and your Tunes Coming Out. Thanks, Kelly

Freddy, may God send you your renewed health soon. You've brought happiness to so many people, surely that counts for something, right? My Dad was one of your biggest fans, and for one of their last wedding anniversary together, I gave my folks tickets to your concert in Merriville, IN. Well you think I would have given him tickets to Hawaii, he was thrilled and they truly enjoyed your show. They managed to get your autograph and my Dad shared with you that they were from Pharr, TX. He was so happy and I thank you for giving that beautiful memory to my Dad who passed away only two months after he saw you in concert. I became one of your fans mostly due to my Dad's love of country music and I had the pleasure of seeing you with the Texas Tornadoes when you performed at the Cubby Bear here in Chi-town. Thanks for the memories y que Dios te bendiga Freddy.

We are so sorry to heare about your illness. We wish you all the best and pray for your speedy recovery. Your songs are a bigger part of our musical life. When we have our nice cosy "staying home" evenings your voice fills the atmosphere with joy and romance. From "Entering Our Hearts" to the very "Last Teardrop" we realy are "Leaving It All Up To You" before we are swept away on "Silver Wings".
We have plans to visite friends in San Antonio & Corpus Cristi this summer. Hopefully you will be out of hospital and back on the stage by then. If luck is on our side you might even be performimg in Texas. If so we will be first in line to see and hear you. Our greatest wish for the future. Anyway you can be sure that you will always be in our hearts and mind as one of the VERY BEST country singers ever. We wish you all God's Blessing with your surgery and
you will be in al our prayers.

DEAREST FREDDY I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR YOU ARE ILL. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU JUST CAME INTO MY LIFE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. I ALWAYS LIKED YOUR MUSIC BUT WAS NEVER REALLY A FAN. I DONT KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED BUT RECENTLY I WAS INTRODUCED TO AN ALBUM BY THE TEXAS TORNADOS AND TO MY SURPRISE YOUR INCREDIBLE VOICE REACHED OUT AND TOUCHED MY HEART. THE SONG WAS "IF THATS WHAT YOUR THINKING" IT JUST MADE ME CRY. ANYONE THAT HAS THAT POWER TO MAKE YOU CRY OR SMILE BECAUSE OF THE WAY A SONG WAS DELIVERED IS AN ANGEL ON EARTH FOR ME. YOU ARE MY ANGEL. I WISH I COULD BE YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL IN THESE UNCERTAIN TIMES IN YOUR LIFE. KNOW THAT THERE ARE ANGELS THAT ARE WATCHING OVER YOU AND WILL PROTECT YOU. THERE ARE TO MANY SONGS TO BE SUNG AND TOO MANY SMILES YOUR FANS NEED TO GIVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING. ALL MY LOVE AND BEST WISHES ARE WITH YOU. SPEEDY RECOVERY MI AMORE.

Freddy, Ilived in San Benito in the late 50's moved from Galveston to live with my grandparents there. You use to hang around with my uncles. I moved to Houston in 1961 and have been here ever since. I remember you well. I remember seeing you in Galveston, Houston, and the Pasadena Rodeo. I know your brother Mel. He used to call your mom from my home quite often. He called me to let me know when she passed on. When I found out you were ill I immediately called my uncles some who remained in San Benito some have moved to California. Our prayers are with you. I sing a little bit now and then. The favorite that is requested from me is "Before The Next Teardrops Falls". I could never do the song justice. You mean so much to your fans here in Houston, Texas. I hope to see you perform again soon. Take it easy so my dream will come true to see you again. We love you The Morehead Family. God Bless You.

I would like for you to know just how disappionted we where in the cancellation of your show at Houston. My friend April's father was killed years and years ago. The only tape recording he had ever given her was of you. She listened to it over and over again through out her youth. Last night she had hoped to see you live,a sentimental, musical reconnection with her past. You broke her heart when you cancelled. Will you be there before the next tear drop falls?

I recently read about your illness. Hope you are responding well and on the road to recovery. As a Beaumont boy and old musician myself (way back when Mr. Meaux ruled) I have always been a fan and admirer. In fact I even put a Tex-Mex tune called "That's So 1999" on our most recent CD. I still listen to you often and by the way there ain't been nobody yet that has nailed "Once I Had A Secret Love" the way you did! Keep the faith and get well soon...

Dearest Freddy
My sister and I caught your show last friday 12/01 in Reno, at the Peppermill, and as usual you were great! My heart broke when you announced your illness, I could actually feel what you were feeling, I know cause I've been where your at now, yep for 20 years now, I stared dailysis right after my daughter was born in 1980, she'll be 21 in March. I just wanted you to know that life doesn't have to end, just think of this as a bump in the road and you will get past it. When did you start dailysis? I hope it is going well for you. I know how it just drains you, and takes alot out of you. So I hope you get to see this, it would mean alot to me to hear back from you..
Thanks for the great music.
Take care of yourself and keep your chin up...SMILES@FF

I've been listen to your music for a few years now. My Grampa was a big fan of you and the Tornados, and after he passed away, I recieved all his albums and 8-tracks. Mostly Elvis and Ranchero music. I now am a fan of yours in memory of him. My favorite song is Esta Noche Mia Seras.

Hi there Freddy & Fans,
Wish you a speedy recovery, I haven't heard any of your music since I was a child in New Zealand. 30yrs on the neighbours were playing the gutiar and singing some of your songs. I was over the moon as it bought back so many precious memories. For that I thank you. Peace & God Bless

You may not remember this, but I have a small memory of this one evening you came over to my parents house. I couldn't have been more than four years old. You and my father were friends. I remember the two of you singing and playing the piano. My little sister and I danced around the two of you. I'm glad I have that small memory and I want to thank you for that.
Good luck.

Dear Freddy,

I just want to add my words of encouragement and my prayers for you. You have provided me with many exciting moments in music from the first time I heard Before the Next Teardrop Falls (and wish I had a dollar for every time I played it as a DJ back then,) to hearing you sing Secret Love at the DJ Convention, to all the other times I saw you in the "early days" - then when I worked for John Penny, and he often backed you up on shows in the Northeast, to that awesome night when the Tornados played at Johnny D's. You were so close to the edge of the stage I thought you would fall off, your singing was so intense, and people were screaming right in your face. I read your comments the other day, where you said if you had to make it on your looks, you would never have made it. Well, a lot of us think you're pretty cute!! You're a real treasure, you're one of a kind, and my friends and I are wishing you all the best.

I will be in Fort Worth, TX from Nov. 21 through the 26th and was hoping that you were making an appearance in the nearby area.

Dear Freddy, I saw you at two of your concerts this year,one in Costa Mesa and one in Escondido with my Aunt Kathy Silva. She is totally in LOVE with you. I've always known who you were because my parents would listen to you when I was smaller but was never really into your music till my Aunt asked me to take her to your concert. I really enjoyed it. We sat there and danced in our seats,clapped,laughed,and even cried a little. I'm only 25 but some of your songs brought back memories for me too. You sure hear that alot dont you? Well, now I've been a fan for about 4 months but my Aunt Kathy has been for 26 years. She has all your tapes and cd's. Everybody knows she loves you and we call her Mrs. Fender. She has written you alot of letter's but has never gotten a response. Maybe as a surprise you can E-mail her at my address and I'll show it to her. Could you please do that for me? Even the shortest message would really make her happy. Keep up the good work in making so many memories for people and keeping them happy.

to catch you the next time your out here in my neck of the woods again. I'd like to say "hi". Oh, by the way,

Take care and best wishes to you.

I am now 36 and my father has since passed but your music helps me stay connected to those memories. For that I will be forever grateful. I saw you in concert at the Pechanga Indian Reservation twice and am looking forward to seeing you in my hometown of Perris,CA on Oct 15th. I will take my three children to see you for the first time. I know they will love you as I do and my father before me did.
