went to your room at Laughlin and the center of the showroom stage...it was a good conversation...I could feel your prefence...both of us could...a very warm feeling.From your room to the elevator to the rear door to the stage to the center of the stage...what a wonderful feeling to say"And now the Legend,Ladies and Gentlemen,"Freddy Fender"! we hear your songs and you are here............................

Today I prayed for Freddy & his family, the same time as all of you. There is so much about this great man that is not known. Let his music play on & on. His songs & voice are one in a million. Some may sing his songs but there is ONLY ONE Freddy Fender. He is with God and may God be with his family.

To the El Bebop Kid:

Thanks for all the great music, TEXAS TORNADOS & LOS SUPER SEVEN, Pancho & Lefty with Townes Van Zandt, Wasted Days and Wasted Nights, too much to even begin to list.

America loves you. Probably not enough, but the love is there.America doesn't appreciate their heroes until too late.

I would like to apologize as a member of the human race for your stay in Angola.

Here's to Baldemar Huerta. I know you don't drink, but I'm lifting one to you.

In loving memory

May God bless all your family.

In behalf of all the Rio Grande Valley.
Rest in peace my brother.

Still thinking of you Freddy, gone but never forgotten
God bless
Aidan

Dear family and friends,

Here, in the Netherlands, it is saturday-evening 9 o'clock and I am thinking at you right now.
My candle for your husband, father, grandfather and friend burns already.
"I'll be with you" the complete day tomorrow.
With love,
Janny

Always thinking of Freddie, Vangie, Marla and Family. I have had the great honor of being accepted into their family as a daughter in law and sister in law. They entered into my life in 1988, when I married their adopted son, Billy. I have high respect for Fred and Vangie because they always showed their kind love for me and my son, their Grandson, William.... even after Billy's passing in 1989. I loved listening to Freddy's music, jokes, stories, and most of all Fatherly Advice when I needed it the most. My love and condolences to all in this time of remembrance!

With Love and Respect,
Lillian

Freddy was one of my favorite singers and everyone will miss him. I have almost all of his songs...

Hello,

The passing of my father has been one of the most difficult experiences in our life. I pray to the Lord everyday for watching over him and all of those we know and love. My heart would almost be empty if it were not for my mother, my girls, and family.
I am sure many of you are aware that it will soon be a year this Sunday October 14, 2007 since my father left us. We the family are asking all of you who have kept us in your prays since the begining as well as after to lend your time and hearts once again this Sunday at precisely 12.14 p.m. This time indicates the moment my father passed away. We will be there at this exact time with my father. So I am writing to all of my father?s friends, fans, and family to ask that on this day of remembrance we stop and say a special prayer in memory of him. We sincerely thank each and every one of you.

Missing you dad,
Marla

There was only one Freddy Fender and he will be sorely missed. I believe the person singing "Before the Next Teardrop Falls" at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ndi_6Gii04 and "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9SpobHVOTo is a very safe and sane and non-egotistical Freddy Fender tribute person. I absolutely adore it. Does anyone know who he is? He goes by the name of "Johnny Pal."

Freddy Fender was one of the main entertainers that influenced my life. I respected the man for being able to overcome many obstacles to get to where he got. Subsequently, I started to sing many of Freddy's songs at my entertainment gigs. Now I am preforming as a Freddy Fender impersonator in paying tribute to the man.(Elvis has some, Frankie has some so Freddy should too.) I will be preforming at the APACHE
GOLD CASINO in Globe,Arizona on Dec 7-8, 2007 as Freddy Fender so all you Freddy Fender fans come out and pay your respect to his memory and enjoy listening to some of his songs again.

FREDDY, YO GAVE ALL OF US LATINO PEOPLE IN THE SOUTHWEST & CALIFAS HOPE THAT WE COULD MAKE IT WITH HARD WORK .... WE LOVE YOU MAN !! YOU ARETHE BEST !!!

14-10-2006 / 14-10-2007
In loving memory...
Once again thankyou so much for lots of hours of beautiful and comforting music.
Until now and for always...
Strenght and love for the family coming Sunday.

For Tammy (and everyone)

Of desolation heal

Life is you too sometimes nevertheless heavy
Try a little bit resemble then
On a clown, who weeps in its heart
But laugh with on the violin plays
For a child
For this way its own heart of desolation to heal?

(Janny)
(I have tried translate it from Dutch)

My deepest and sincere condolences to the family of one of my more favorite artists. He made my music spinning a success when I was very young and still until today I feel the deep spirtual conviction of his songs. He will certainly be missed. My Love to the Family.

Dear Tammy,
I just read some of your messages. They are so heartbraking and tender. There is so much love in it. Your dad must have been so proud to have a daughter like you. I'm a 52 years old mother of 2 beautifull children (27 and 22) . And I know the feeling of love for a child. Keep on living with wunderfull memories! Keep on writing! Keep on talking to your dad! He hears it... I'm sure of it. And one day... you'll meet again.
Big hug,
Janny

Dear Mrs.Huerta (vangie), children, grandchildren, friends and further family. Just a word to say thankyou to all of you for having sharing your beloved husband, father and grandfather for so many beautifull years with us, his thruh fans all over the world. I can imagine that it was not always easy to share... I still love and enjoy his music every day and I'm sure that I may speak for a lot of his (Dutch) fans. Old and young. Thankyou again and that may God bless you all.
Janny

freddy I love you, your really a great singer, love all your songs, I hope to see you one day up above
