Rosaly (SP? I hope I spelled her name right) heard from Freddie's Mom! :) On the CATM YAHOO CLUB Rosaly posted a message on there about getting a letter from Freddie's Mom. The link to it is:

I'm so glad she shared with us her letter from Maria! I was wondering how she was. Glad she's still surviving. Maria has diabetes & can't read & write much because of it so won't be able to write her anymore. It's so sad she has diabetes. My hubby & I both have it. Diabetes is hereditary, so more than likely Freddie could've gotten it if he had lived. It breaks my heart to think Freddie would've probably gotten it. Since she had trouble reading & writing-- I wonder if she has retinopathy (Bleeding retinas in her eyes) which makes ya legally blind like my hubby does & has neuropathy (that strikes the hands & feet & causes pain in them). (I have diabetic neuropathy in my feet). It's so sad she has it.

I wonder if there any way we could all send her some cards? I'm sure she'd appreciate those. I would love to write her? I'm sure she'd love to hear from another person with diabetes. We all need to keep her in our thoughts & prayers. I know if Freddie were alive he'd be heartbroken to know his mom had diabetes. She's been thru so much & we send her our love, thoughts, wishes & prayers...

Also here's an added thought. Meds & healthcare & testing supplies (to test your blood sugars to see if they are high or low) etc for a diabetic can be expensive. I wonder if she might be needing some $$$ for those? If so maybe we could all take up donations for her say each person donate $5 or whatever they could afford? Just a thought. If it's a bad idea sorry about that but I am comng from experience here on that. Bless her heart we wish her well... :)

Oh Cheryl as you know my hubby has that same affliction (diabetes). How sad that Mrs. Pruetzal had to have it too. It is a terrible affliction to have. Thank you for pointing out Rosalyz letter to us (his fans). I would like to put up the letter in my website. Hopefully Rosalyz will say YES!

Thank-you to the ladies who were kind enough to share this letter and information with us. I am very relieved to hear about Mrs. Pruetzel, although sorry about her having diabetes.

I agree that the health care costs may be burdensome. I am more than willing to send money to help with this. It is critical that she keep a check on her glucose levels and take excellent care of herself regarding meds and diet. If someone would post the address or write us privately with it, I am sure many of us will send funds to help with these costs.

Thank-you again for this important and much sought after information.

P.S. Mrs. Pruetzel's birthday is coming up on April 16th!!

FREDDIE FOREVER!!!

Your fans/friends remember and love your Mom!!

Cheryl, HELP!! I tried this link, but could not find the letter from Rosalyn. Do I have to join the club?

Thank-you again for posting this information.

Okay, I am in the process of joining the club. They said that an e-mail will be sent to me, but I am still waiting...???

It takes a while probably to get approved. Also there are 3 other Freddie clubs on YAHOO, THE CLUB OF THE PRINZES, THE FREDDIE PRINZE FAN CLUB & CHICOHOLICS so you'll want to join those too. Maybe we can all send her cards for her birthday. Hopefully someone will have an address that will forward them on to her. Glad she's alive & would love to keep up with how she is doing...
