Annette Funicello

I would like to say that we are thinking of you and praying for you. I believe my ex-husband's Aunt, Antionette Dahlia from Utica, use to babysit you. I seem to recall her telling us about that. I loved all your movies. Take care

Dearest Annette. I to, as so many others have enjoyed the Mickey Mouse Club only because you were on it. I've seen your movies and, of course, they were fantastic. I, too, have MS, relapsing/remitting kind. Was diagnosed in 2000. Knocked me for a loop. I'm trying to look toward the future and hope for the best. I crave news from you and how you are doing but little is ever heard. Please let me offer my sincerest hope that something will be discovered that will help you. You definately did not diserve to have such a horrible disease.
Will keep you in my prayers.

I have you in my thoughts and in my prayers each and every day. You are a tremedous inspiration to countless others all over the world. I admire your strength and talent and hope that the good Lord will be with you always. Best wishes from a very loyal fan.

Well, you still are America's best girlfriend. We grew up with you and as old as we are, we are still growing up. You have our hearts. Don't really know if you will read this but for what it's worth; Dick Dale calls you Annie and has fond memories of you in that beach movie.

Love, Joe

Dear Annette,
I've been a loyal fan of yours from the Mickey Mouse Club and thought you were the prettiest girl wearing the ears. I've followed your life thru the years from your marriages, children and your appearances on QVC featuring your lovely bears. I continue to think of you often and pray to St.Jude (patron of hopeless cases) for a return to good health for you. You're a special lady with much strength and acceptance. Please continue with positive thoughts as there are so many of us behind you wishing and wanting our favorite mouskateer to be on the mend again. We all love you so much.

please be as well as you can I think of you often you were a very bright spot in my young life thank you for the music and the movies

Remembering when my older sister use to have many-many pics of Annette on her bedroom walls from the Beach Party movies. And the girls back then use to wear their hair like Annette.

Annette I am sorry you are going through this serious illness. I, too, was a fan of the Mickey Mouse Club. You and I were born on the same day, Oct. 22, 1942 and I have a daughter named Annette.
May God bless and keep you.

Dear Annette: I have been wondering about how you were for years. My thougts and prayers are with you. I watched The Mickey Mouse Club too,like so many others. I also read anything I could about you. I am 65 yrs. old. May God continue to be with you and May you know His Peace. Barbara, Punta Gorda, Florida.

whatever happened to Cubby?

God bless you Annette, I pray they find a cure and you can live a normal life that you so deserve. Love Rich

Dear Annette: I have been a great big fan of yours ever since the Mickey Mouse Club and then with you starring in the Disney Movies with Tommy Kirk and with Frankie Avalon in the Beach movies. I recently caught your movie When you Wish Upon A Star and everytime I wait to see you at the end I start to cry. You have bought so much joy to people over the years plus around the world and you don't deserve to go through the pain your going through right now with MS. Your a beautiful person and a loving one. I think of you often and you will be in my prayers and thoughts all the time. May God keep you in his arms always. Love Anthony

Annette
I had always enjoyed watching you on the Original Mickey Mouse Club, and have enjoyed listening to your sweet singing voice. I always thought that you and Frankie Avalon were great together and that your duetting together was something special and magical. I am saddened that you have to go through the MS pain that you're dealing with. I pray that you are as comfortable as you can be, and that you know how many fans and loved ones are praying for you and still in your corner.
I hope a cure can be found for this awful, debilitating disease! I too have a neurological condition, but not MS, it's CP that I have (cerebral palsy).
I'm keeping you in thought and in prayer.
God bless, and remember that you are never alone.

I just heard last night that your health has taken a turn for the worst, you are such a beautiful person and my prayer's are with you.
may god bless you!

25 years ago this time I was a counselor at a baseball camp. Annette's sons attended the camp and Annette would frequently drop them off in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon. On occassion, Annette would serve lunch in the snack bar--and that's where I finally met her. She was so polite and kind and we talked about old surf acts like Dick Dale, and The Surfaris etc.--Ive met many stars and celebraties over the years but none were as down to earth and kind as Annette. I'm praying for you Annette that you will come to know (if you dont know aleady) Jesus as your Lord and Saviour to be born again and have everlasting life in Him--And for a perfect healing.

You're wonderful

All my Love,
John

Annette - My prayers and love are with you- you are such an inspiration to so many. Keep your faith strong and be assured that you have run the good race. I have followed you since the first Mickey Mouse Club show and think of you as an old friend. Thank you for making my life happier because you were a small part of it.

I'm 55 years old and Annette, you were my idol. You have brought so much happiness to so many people. You're in my prayers. Thanks for the memories.
Love, Gail L.

Annette, I just wanted to let you know that I too have MS, I however have remitting relapsing and fear what kind of toll that this is going to take on my since I am in my mid thirty's. I have the upmost respect for you as I watched your story unfold on the TV movie "A dream is a Wish your heart makes." If it wasn't for you the diagnosis would have been a lot more heartbreaking then it was.

Annette is unable to read this forum, or anything else for that matter. I will print it out and give it to her son to read to her.
