Annette Funicello Pictures

Annette Funicello was truly America's Swetheart. She was the first performer I idolized,but not as much as Patty Duke or Cathy Rigby. Still,I deeply loved the 5'3",110 pound sweetheart,because she was a nice woman who never let the bad things like MS crowd out the positives.She looked beautiful no matter if she wore dresses or jeans.She was easy to love. She'll be deeply missed,but I took her death rather hard,because I lost a high school friend of mine,5' Beth Gerak,two years ago to MS at the age of just 52.Yet I will love Annette now more than ever.

Iremember how sad I felt when Annette told about having MS. I even said out loud I hope I never get MS. What I didn't know at the time was I already had it. I didn't find out until 2002. I know what she went through. Annette has always been in my thoughts and prayers.

Annette you are my favorite actress I have always admire you I would have love to have met you I think of you often.

annette i just love you my mother knows your mother you were born at the same hospital as me i also was brought up in utica st.agnes hospital i was born in 1952 i feel so close to you being that my family knows your family

Happy birthday,Annette! You sure are a sweet 5'3" singer/actress/dancer who has always had nice things said about you,even though you're losing your battle with multiple sclerosis. But I still tenderly love you because you're such a sweet woman. You and 5' Cathy Rigby are about the only two performers even tabloids have been nice to. You don't realize,Annette,I love you,but I do!

I grew up watching Annette. She is America's sweetheart. I wish i could have met her. I am the same age as she. She is a beautiful girl. Carolyn Baylies

Hi Annette. I grew up watching you on The Mickey Mouse Club. I even had my own Mickey Mouse ears(ha,ha). I watched your beach movies and i loved watching them. I really hope you are doing well. Im so sorry that your house caught on fire. I hope you are alright.You are the best. Please take care of yourself Annette. You are so beautiful. Take care. My doctor thinks i have MS. Please take care.

ABC had those 50 60's Lifetime music. My era. I'm 75. They made me sad and one of the songs of Annette. I truly hope she is fine. I know what she has and medicine has made such strides. Hopefully, it has helped her. I will pray for her.

Hi! Annetta, First of all I have loved you ever since the Mickey Mouse Club came Up to Ketchikan, Alaska in the 50's and your movies I see them when ever they come on TV. I was born May 1, 1942. And I always in my life I had consider you as my second sister. I lost my sister to ovarian cancer about 19 years ago. So anything that comes on the enternet about you I look it up to see whats going on in your life. When you came down with MS I have always donated to that cause. I wish you the best and keep up your good spirts. Lots Of Love Michele

Beautiful Annette: Like all writers I also was and still am in love with you from age 12. We are the same age. My wife allows you in my heart as she too remembers the wonerful days of our youth . Married for 46 years now and retired physician/surgeon and I understand your MS. Wishing only Blessings at this time of your life. I would love to just touch your hand once.

I always watched the Mickey Mouse Club when I was a kid.You were my first love as a boy. I watched your beach movies. They really weren't too great but you were in them. That's all that mattered. I even remember you on " Zorro ". When I got older I still thought about you. My wife was actually jealous. In 1994 I was diagnosed with MS. I found out you had it also. I can handle the physical problems but since my wife left me I get depressed. How do you handle it? Anyway I still love you.

I had my mouseketeer ears on everyday after school and I fell in love with you. I carried your picture during Vietnam and your laughter echoes strong. God Bless you always.

To hold your hand, well that would be my last desire, you were always so beautiful. THANKS.

LIKE MOST OF US AT THE TIME,ANNETTE WAS THE NUMBER ONE MICKEY MOUSECLUB GIRL WE ALL FELL IN LOVE WITH I SEENED HER ON OPENING DAY ATDISNEYLAND 1955

As a child, I would rush home from school and turn on the television to watch the Mikey Mouse Club. Jimmy with his guitar, Roy standing tall and of course Annette Funicello. Tales of Spin and Marty and anything else to see Annette. Like this adorable lady, my health is racked too. I will always remember and Love Annette. I once met Roy Disney and I had hoped for a chance encounter with Annette. She will forever be loved, even though we have both grown old.

my prayer is that the Holy Spirit will keep you in his peace and strength
