This white girl's earliest memories are of my mom who passed away in 1990, listening to freddie fender's music. she absolutely loved it. I married a mexican man, and we love listening to the timeless music. We saw Mr Fender in concert 3 years at the casino in Tunica MS. Wonderful each time. Im sorry for your loss, but he will live on in his music, my teenagers know every word in Spanish and English. God Bless the family in your time of loss.. We mourn with you.
