My mother Linda passed away when I was 18 months old, thirty years ago. When I got older I received her guitar,some pictures and her Freddy Fender's tape. Needless to say, I know all the words and have enjoyed it many millions of times. Freddy, say hi to my Mother for me? She was a great fan.

Thanks, Terra

It was a sad day for me when I heard that Freddy Fender (Birth Name: Baldemar Huerta) passed away. My condolences to Freddy's/Baldermar's family and friends for their loss, for I know what they are going through, for my sister Tammy passed away at age 41 on September 23 from lingering intestinal troubles.

Freddy, you helped open many roads to many entertainers of Tejano and Latino descent.

Freddy, to quote two of your songs, there were never any "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" when you on TV, recording, and on stage, although I never saw you in person. I hope to see you in heaven along with my sister Tammy and others like Elvis Presley, Buck Owens, and Conway Twitty.

Finally, the words of your song "When You Lose Me, Oh Yes, You Lose A Good Thing" are really ringing true now because you will now be performing in the heavenly choir, which by the way will be sounding a lot sweeter.

When they have the funeral services, they will praise both Baldemar Huerta, the man, and Freddy Fender, the legend. The funeral may be for Baldemar Huerta, but the legacy and legend of Freddy Fender will never die. God Bless You.

Rest in Peace, mi amigo, and Vaya Con Dios.

It is truly a sad day. Freddy Fender is gone. I grew up listening to freddy's music as a kid, in the back of my dad's 1978 Chevrolet Malibu. Man, I remember "Before the Next tear drop falls". As well as all the other Great Country songs of that era. it was a magical time. I was only a little boy at the time, But I do remember. Rest in God's Holy Peace, Freddy. and Save me a space around the Throne.

Signed,

You're Friend,

-Chuck

SPANISH:

Es verdad un d?a triste. Se va la defensa de Freddy.
Crec? para arriba que escuchaba la m?sica de los freddy como cabrito, en la parte posteriora de Chevrolet 1978 de mi pap? Malibu.Hombre, recuerdo "antes de que baje la gota siguiente del rasg?n".As? como el resto de grandes canciones del pa?s de esa era era un rato m?gico. Era solamente un peque?o muchacho en ese entonces, pero recuerdo. Recl?nese en la paz santa del dios, Freddy.y ah?rreme un espacio alrededor del trono.

Firmado, Usted Es Amigo,

May Gods angles keep him as happy as his song have made me, I have never ment Mr. Fender, but his songs have given me joy for years. God bless him.

I loved Freddy Fender' music when I was younger. He was a good-looking man, too. So sad he passed. They just don't have singers like Fender anymore.

GROWNING UP IN CORPUS CHRISTI, I LISTEN AND DANCE TOO HIS MUSIC. YOU WILL BE MISS FREDDY,PUT YOUR MUSIC WILL LEAVE ON FOR EVERY. LOVE YOU...BLANCA.

I have grown up listening to his music all my life,here in Texas. we will miss him, but we will keep him in our hearts always, and his music will stay here with us. He way not be with us here on earth, But god got Freddy and Elivs playing for him with the Angles. GOD BLESS San Bonito, Texas Love Always amanda and fred smith

Freddy was the genuine article. A real Texan. No pretense--what you saw was what you got--nothing artificial as is the case with far too many artists and entainers. It was simple melodic music that somehow reached and reverberated in the marrow of my bones. His sincerity provided the magic, I believe. I hope someone in his family will write a book telling about his life, his work in the fields, his service in the Marines, his family, his views on life, and how he came up with so many memorable songs. I always enjoyed his music very much but it never made me cry--until today when I listened to Until the Next Teardrop Falls. God bless the family and friends that he leaves behind. May Freddy rest in peace on "the other side."

I have loved freddy Fender since I first heard "Before the next teardrop falls" way back in '75'Really gone miss you. Our prayers are with the Fender family.

Thanks for all the great music,solo and with the tornados.. god bless you and your family..

May God bless the Fender family.

There was no one like Freddy Fender.

Freddy Fender had a voice that was unique, refreshing, and genuine.

He brought together Spanish and Country music flawlessly, in such a way that no one has been able to do before or since.

It pains me to see the loss of yet another great artist. His musical influence will always be with us in our hearts and souls and his talents will live on in his timeless recordings.

May God bless the Fender family.

i would like to send may codlences to the Family of Freddy Fender and the Band and all the fans and frinds. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. We well always remmeber
