We love you!
My best wishes to you, Shelley. I think you are a good actress and you seem like a very nice person. I liked you on "The Donna Reed Show". You worked well together with Paul, (and in a few shows with Patti). You were great on "One Day At A Time." I truly admire Paul for the work he's doing, and for giving me this chance to send a message. Richard Ranke <> - Saturday, August 18, 2001 at 07:06:37 (PDT) Dearest Shelley, get well soon, our prayers are with you for a speedy recovery. We have always enjoyed your work in movies, TV and music. "Johnny Angel" and "Johnny Loves Me" are classics. You were special in "Coach" and we hope you return to another TV show soon when you are feeling better. Vanessa - Friday, August 17, 2001 at 10:04:17 (PDT) Prayers and wishes are with you. May God bless you and keep you in his arms. Maxine Benson <> - Tuesday, August 14, 2001 at 18:09:59 (PDT) Get well soon and best wishes. I have been a fan of yours since "The Donna Reed Show", when you sang " Johnny Angel". Joseph Trapani <> - Tuesday, August 14, 2001 at 16:59:05 (PDT) My prayers and thoughts are with you for a speedy recovery. Your work always touched my life. Your t.v. shows, your music, your movies, I loved them all. I watch "Girl Happy" over and over. Oh what memories "Johnny Angel" brings back. We all wanted to sing and look like you! You are a precious woman. Thank you for being such a wonderful role model for all of us. God Bless you, sweet Shelley, in everything you do! Bonnie <> - Monday, August 13, 2001 at 21:41:14 (PDT) I have watched you for years. Keep up the good work. Love to your family. Merl William Clark <> - Monday, August 13, 2001 at 19:45:35 (PDT) Hi Shelley, I am sorry to hear that you are ill. I hope to see you get better soon, and pass on same wishes to Annette, ok? I used to always watch you and Paul on "The Donna Reed Show" and my fondest memories are hearing you both sing "Johnny Angel/She Can't find Her Keys" on the show. I've got Paul's CD and hope to get yours too someday thru Columbia House. I have your albums with "Things We Did Last Summer" and lots of others. I used to always watch "Coach". My prayers are with you to get well soon. Your fan, Sue <> - Monday, August 13, 2001 at 01:41:08 (PDT) Hi Shelley. I hope you are well and I just want you to know that I will pray for you. I will pray for others who are recovering or in need of transplants. Thank you for all the years of seeing you on our televisions and for many more to come. Pass on my prayers to Annette too! Love from Massachusetts. Leslie Brzostek <> - Sunday, August 12, 2001 at 21:34:49 (PDT) Awwwww Shelley, What can I say...You have always been my favourite actress. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God bless! Shari Snyder <> - Sunday, August 12, 2001 at 18:01:23 (PDT) Shelley, I can't believe I'm writing to you. What a wonderful giving person you are. (Plus my husband and I truly enjoyed you and Crait T. Nelson in "Coach". We went through withdrawls!) I don't know if you'll ever get to read all of these great notes to you, but I hope so. The Lord bless you each day, and be sure to eat lots of fresh veggies, and use a juicer with all the appropriate vegetables, and drink that wonderful stuff. It can't hurt and sometimes has helped cure people of awful illnesses, so do a search or go to Jamba Juice daily or more and get it made fresh. Check out the book: "The Complete Book of Juicing" by Michael T. Murray. Look up illnesses in the index and it tells what veggies to juice. Also Colloidal Silver and Pycnogenol. Read about these online. Wonderful things. CS kills everything it comes in contact with and Pycnogenol is proven to be 60 times more powerful than Vitamin E, and to cure over 80 diseases! I'd better go, check this stuff out. It has really helped us. God Bless you Shelley, and remember, He truly loves you and cares about everything you're going through. Just ask Him to be near you, and He'll be right there. :) In Christ, Betty Symank<> - Saturday, August 11, 2001 at 02:24:39 (PDT) Hi! It's strange, but people forget that actors and actresses are first and foremost, humans. We all suffer, whether we are in the spotlight or not. Here is a prayer for you to be up and about soon. God Bless and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Virginia Hernandez <> - Friday, August 10, 2001 at 11:43:01 (PDT) Hi Shelly, I don't know you, you don't know me but I do hope you get better because I know how it feels to be really sick. Vanessa <> - Thursday, August 09, 2001 at 22:50:38 (PDT) Hi, Shelley! This comes with a loving wish for your quick return to good health. I go all the way back to the days of you and Annette Funicello and Tim Considine and of course, the "Donna Reed Show". In fact, your birthday and mine are just days apart. Here's hoping you'll soon be back making your zillions of fans happy! Marilynn <> - Wednesday, August 08, 2001 at 12:01:46 (PDT) Shelley, I wasn't aware of your illness until now. You are a star I grew up with as I watched all your TV shows and movies. I think I may still even have your records and CDs of all your many songs. One of my favorite shows from the nineties was "Coach". I watched it weekly mainly because of you. Take care and come back soon to TV. Danny <> - Monday, August 06, 2001 at 11:08:42 (PDT) Shelley - wishing you a speedy recovery! I just love the movies you made with Elvis (since I am a BIG Elvis Fan!). Take Care & God Bless! Marlene Betke <> - Sunday, August 05, 2001 at 18:46:02 (PDT) Dear Shelley, You are one of my favorite actresses. I used to watch "The Donna Reed Show" when it aired on Nick at Nite during 1985 & 1994. I enjoyed all your movies with Elvis Presley too. I hope you are feeling better soon. Take Care & God Bless! Joe <> - Sunday, August 05, 2001 at 11:06:10 (PDT) Shelley, You don't know me but we know people together. I had a crush on you way back and I've had respect for you all along as the kind of person that really should represent Hollywood. Damn I hate illness. It's hard to be tough when you're sick and the future looks uncertain. In my life I've found the strength to face it through the love of my friends and family, and a deep faith that the universe has a plan and I'm part of it. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Perhaps a little of that energy will reach you. Surely all the love I see on this site will reach you and help transform the fear into a new vision. Peter Plantec, Beverly Hills, CA. <> - Friday, August 03, 2001 at 19:08:35 (PDT) Ms.Fabares, you are my favorite actress. You were so great in "Coach" and "One Day at a Time". Your movies with Elvis are now classics. Get well soon Shelley, you are missed on TV. Amber <> - Thursday, August 02, 2001 at 21:02:01 (PDT) I'm praying for a speedy recovery for one of sweetest ladies in the business. I worked for both NBC and CBS and know that you have a reputation for kindness above and beyond the call of duty, Shelley. People like you simply MUST live forever! With love, :-) The Hughes Family of Forest HIlls, NY <> - Thursday, August 02, 2001 at 12:32:50 (PDT) Dear Shelley, My thoughts and prayers are with you! Get well soon! You have given me many wonderful moments and one that I want to thank you for was when I told you in person that I had my own "Johnny Angel" when you were at Univeral Studios Orlando promoting "Coach" and you were so nice and gracious to me! Please take care and get well. Bridget from Orlando <> - Tuesday, July 31, 2001 at 08:04:16 (PDT) I wish you well. I hope your recovery is swift. Take care. Leonie Parsons <> - Monday, July 30, 2001 at 14:57:10 (PDT) Shelley, I have been an admirer of your work in TV, Movies and Music for a few years. Sorry to hear that you have been ill. I will pray for your return to good health so you can once again entertain us with your acting. Kyle <> - Wednesday, July 25, 2001 at 11:12:16 (PDT) Shelley, get well soon. I admire you and your strength. May God bless you and keep you. Michael Roark (Spartanburg, SC) <> - Wednesday, July 25, 2001 at 02:27:45 (PDT) Shelley, Best wishes. Get well and God bless.

Kevin <> - Thursday, July 19, 2001 at 20:42:53 (PDT) You're the best now and you'll be the best always. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Be Happy!!! Chuck DuCoing <> - Thursday, July 19, 2001 at 14:12:23 (PDT) Your song "Johnny Angel" is the one singular song that brings back the absolute happiest memories of my youth. Thank you for singing it. My prayers are with you. Gary Nichols <> - Wednesday, July 18, 2001 at 10:54:04 (PDT) The gifts and talents you were given by God are truly missed. Get better soon so your good works can continue to touch our hearts. Prayerfully, Monica Benziger <> - Tuesday, July 17, 2001 at 20:36:02 (PDT) I loved all of Shelley's TV shows, especially "Coach" and "Donna Reed". I actually grew up watching all her TV shows and movies. I just purchased a new CD of Shelley's that has reissues of her two albums, "Shelley" and "The Things We Did Last Summer". So many great songs including of course "Johnny Angel". I saw her movie "Brian's Song" last week and just loved it. I have not seen that movie in a long time. Shelley, get well soon, we all miss you on TV. Mary Ann <> - Monday, July 16, 2001 at 15:46:51 (PDT) Shelly: Get well soon! I can still remember sitting on the floor in front of the TV set watching you sing "Johnny Angel" and Paul singing "She Can't Find Her Keys". "The Donna Reed Show" was very much a part of everyone's life when I grew up. Warmest wishes from my heart! Martin A. Spiegelberg <> - Saturday, July 14, 2001 at 20:13:15 (PDT) Ms. Fabares, I am very sorry to hear that you have been ill. I just loved all your TV shows especially "Coach" and "One Day at a Time". I recently viewed a couple of the movies you did with Elvis ("Girl Happy" and "Clambake"). What fun! I read that you are feeling better now and will return to acting soon. My best wishes to you and your husband, Mike Farrell of "Providence". Brenda - Thursday, July 12, 2001 at 18:18:00 (PDT) I was not around when "The Donna Reed Show" was on TV, but I have seen reruns on Nick at Nite and loved it. I have seen all the Elvis movies that Shelley did with Elvis. Really fun. I never missed any episodes of "Coach". Shelley Fabares is just a class act. What a nice lady and star. Get well soon Shelley. Shanon <> - Wednesday, July 11, 2001 at 14:49:49 (PDT) I will keep you in my prayers. Maggie Martin <> - Wednesday, July 11, 2001 at 14:48:21 (PDT) Hello Shelley! I am really sorry to hear that you have been ill. You have been a star for such a long time and you are almost like family. All of your movies and TV shows have been just great. Of course, who can forget your many songs. "Johnny Angel" is still a fave of mine. Get well soon. Tyler <> - Monday, July 09, 2001 at 15:42:04 (PDT) Shelley, Thank You for many years of classy, wholesome television/singing/movie entertainment. I wish you a full and speedy recovery. Best Wishes.

God grant each of you His gifts of healing, strength, faith and love. Alice Kehoe <> - Wednesday, July 04, 2001 at 13:51:45 (PDT) Very nice site on Shelley. I enoyed her bio and work history. I didn't realize that she has been acting since she was a child. I never missed seeing "Coach" when that show was on in the ninties. Sorry to hear of her illness. I hope that she is feeling better these days. Walter <> - Tuesday, July 03, 2001 at 13:50:56 (PDT) I recently found out about Shelley's illness. What can one say at times such as these....except "Hang in There Girl"! Loved your TV shows, especially "Coach". Kathleen <> - Monday, July 02, 2001 at 16:59:08 (PDT) Hi Shelley: I hope you are feeling better. You are one of my favorite people. I wish you the best. Gloria Applegate (a two time breast cancer survivor)<> - Friday, June 29, 2001 at 12:33:51 (PDT) Dear Shelley, I hope you will feel better and about to feeling like you again. You are a wonderful person. May God bless and watch over you to your speedy recovery. Mary Ann Lagasse <> - Friday, June 29, 2001 at 12:24:33 (PDT) Hi there Shelley! "Life is a Journey and Adventure" and gosh, you have had a long journey in movies and TV and music. And what an adventure you have had for all these years from a child star to adult star. Your illness is part of the journey. I am sure you will return to good health soon and return to acting once again. With all your good work with the Alzheimer Association and The Donna Reed Foundation, you are proof that you are an "Angel". Mike Farrell, your husband, is a lucky man. Be well Shelley! Andy <> - Friday, June 29, 2001 at 10:19:19 (PDT) Dearest Shelley- Sorry to hear of your illness. We hope you'll get to feeling better real soon. We loved you on "Coach" and in Elvis movies. We hope you'll be up and around before too long. Take care and God bless you!!! Erin L. Williams, Ardmore, Oklahoma <> - Thursday, June 28, 2001 at 14:31:24 (PDT) Hi Shelley! I attended the "Donna Reed Festival" this past week in Denison, Iowa and learned that you have been very ill. I hope you are doing better. All your fans really missed you this year at the Festival. Although the Festival was great, it wasn't the same without your lovely appearance. Take care of yourself. Alision <> - Tuesday, June 26, 2001 at 10:09:50 (PDT) Shelley, I must lead a very sheltered life. I was volunteering at the Donna Reed Festival this past week. I coordinated the Lets Do Lunch and a few of my volunteers told me you were having a liver transplant. Then Paul announced at the Final Competition that you were doing well after the liver transplant and that you would be back next year. I was very shocked to hear this and hope all is well with you. This was my first year at the Festival, we just moved here two years ago this August. My prayers are with you and I cannot wait to meet you and work with you like I did with all the other wonderful people here in Denison. We had a great week at the Festival but we sure missed your smiling beautiful face. I did get the pleasure of meeting you in Denison in 1995 when we were visiting but now I get the pleasure of helping out every year. A very speedy recovery to you and God is Watching You and Keeping you in the Palm of His Hand. You are in everyones prayers here in Denison. We love you Shelley. Love Alison Alison <> - Sunday, June 24, 2001 at 22:59:01 (PDT) Hope you feel better Kelsey Bailey <> - Sunday, June 24, 2001 at 08:42:47 (PDT) May you have a swift recovery. I've loved you since I was ten years old and just knew that somehow miraculously you were singing "Johnny Angel" to me. I still get that feeling when I hear the song today. When you did movies with Elvis, that sealed it. My prayers are with you! God bless, beautiful lady! John Roebuck (Johnny) <> - Saturday, June 23, 2001 at 00:54:28 (PDT) Hi Shelley, I am very sad to hear that you have been ill. I love all your TV shows you starred in, especially "One Day at a Time", and "Coach". "Johnny Angel" is still a great love song. My prayers and good thoughts are with you, dear lady. Brie <> - Wednesday, June 20, 2001 at 13:12:46 (PDT) Hope you are recovering fine. Iam praying for you. Best wishes. Ms. Jimmie McGiory <> - Wednesday, June 20, 2001 at 12:36:00 (PDT) Prayers are already sent up. You go girl! Stan Fafara <> - Wednesday, June 20, 2001 at 11:22:01 (PDT) Wishing you a speedy recovery! May God place His healing hands upon your lovely face. Thank you so much for all the years of enjoyment you and the other cast members of "The Donna Reed Show" gave to me. Debbie Sotos <> - Wednesday, June 20, 2001 at 00:11:01 (PDT) Howdy Ms. Fabares! Hello from Texas. I hope you are on your way to recovery to good health once again. I have always enoyed your shows, especially "Coach". Keep up your spirit you will be back on TV soon I have a feeling.

Agajanian Jr. - Sunday, June 17, 2001 at 19:09:15 (PDT) Wishing you a speedy return to good health Shelley. You have been my idol since I was a child. I have admired all your work on TV(Coach) and movies(all those Elvis & Fabian movies). Johnny Angels remains a special love song for me and always brings back memories of my teen years. I hope you plan to return to TV soon, you have been missed.

Terri Cibulskis <> - Tuesday, June 12, 2001 at 07:21:02 (PDT) This site on Shelley is really cool. Very informative and enjoyable. Her acting accomplishments in movies, TV and music is impressive. I can't believe that she has been a star since she was a child. Just great. I would like to wish Shelley a quick return to good health and hope she will continue to act and entertain her fans. Mandy <> - Monday, June 11, 2001 at 10:02:07 (PDT) You were my first crush. I never missed your show. Get well. Steve Berman <> - Friday, June 08, 2001 at 15:39:54 (PDT) Dearest Shelley, I just am so sad to hear about your illness. I will pray for you and send you my good thoughts. I am 18 years old and just loved you in "Coach". Although I never saw your other TV series you starred in, my Mom has told me all about you since she was a teenager when you were also a teen star. Get well soon dear lady. I hope you can retun to TV soon. Heather <> - Wednesday, June 06, 2001 at 11:27:03 (PDT) I grew up watching you grow up. You have always been special to me, I have always been a great fan of yours. I am praying for you to feel better soon and to continue with a speedy recovery.

Brent Larson mentions your name frequently on his radio program KXOL. God Bless. Jerry Kirkegaard <> - Sunday, June 03, 2001 at 23:25:11 (PDT) God Bless you! Keep smiling! Ree Pauley <> - Sunday, June 03, 2001 at 16:47:07 (PDT) Dear Shelley, I was thinking about you and how your positive spirit has given so much to so many. I believe in encouragement not discouragement. I wanted you to know how your acting roles and your singing, yes your singing, uplifts. I work with teens in helping them see their true potential and sometimes I have doubts about how helpful I can be. Music has always been a stress reliever for me and yesterday I lit a candle and put on "The Best of Shelley Fabares", put on the headphones and went into another world. The arrangements of your songs are beautiful and of course "Ronnie" has always been one of my favorites. "Johnny Angel", "Welcome Home", "He Don"t Love Me" and "I Know You'll Be There" stand out. Integrity and credibility are not measured by record sales but by the sincere efforts of the performer. Thank you for all the joy. Peace, Health, Wisdom, Courage and Patience. Ron <> - Saturday, June 02, 2001 at 04:18:30 (PDT) Ms.Fabares, you are my favorite TV actress. Hope you are feeling better. I will pray for you. Miss you on TV. Lorri - Friday, June 01, 2001 at 13:38:55 (PDT) My dear Shelley, I am a fan and will continue to be one of your many fans who just love your work on TV and in movies. I am deeply sorry to hear of your current illness. With many prayers and a little luck, I am certain you will be back and return to acting once again and entertaining your fans. Get well soon. Brandon <> - Tuesday, May 29, 2001 at 21:16:42 (PDT) Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Shelley! Claire from Florida - Tuesday, May 29, 2001 at 20:56:45 (PDT) Dear Shelley, I don't usually do this, but I stumbled onto this site and wanted to wish you well. I have always admired your innate honesty and sincerity in your portrayals. You can sense your warmth as a person. I have no doubt that you are surrounded by good friends and family, which is really what it is all about. My prayers are with you, and one of your best friends, Annette Funicello. Good wishes to both of you! Joanie <> - Tuesday, May 29, 2001 at 16:31:14 (PDT) Hi, Shelley, I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that we are praying for your speedy recovery. I have met you several times at the Donna Reed Festival and I always go home telling people that Shelley Fabares is as nice in person as she appears on TV! "Johnny Angel" continues to be my all time favorite song....I was 6 when it was released so that is quite a tribute to it's longevity! Take care and May God richly bless you as you recover! Linda Brookshier <> - Tuesday, May 29, 2001 at 10:49:26 (PDT) Ms.Fabares, I have been a fan of you and all your many works in TV, movies and music. I was only a toddler when "The Donna Reed Show" was on TV but I did get to see the show on Nick at Nite. You have been on so many TV shows. How great. "Coach" was great. Riley <> - Friday, May 25, 2001 at 17:59:12 (PDT) Such a great website on Shelley! Its nice to see many fans who care about this lovely star. I have admired Shelley's work in movies and television for many years. I would like to see her back on TV. Michele <> - Friday, May 25, 2001 at 10:30:46 (PDT) Dear Shelley, I am so sorry to hear about your illness. I found this website looking for some old Elvis stuff. I know your tired of hearing that. I remember alot of your work. I'm surprised they never had you and Elvis sing together considering how nice a voice you have. I also remember you from "One Day at a Time". I hope that your recovery is going well. I always thought that of all the girls in the Elvis movies, that you and him had the most on screen chemistry. You were also the prettiest. You had some pretty tough competition in that category as you know, but you still came out on top. I'm also a fan of your husband Mike. It looks like his career is taking off again and I couldn't be happier. He was great in "Mash" and filled some big shoes and is also fantastic on "Providence". I will pray for you and also wish you the very best in the years to come. Wayne <> - Wednesday, May 23, 2001 at 21:26:02 (PDT) Dear Shelley, my granddaughter Wendy had a liver transplant the last part of Nov. 2000. She was 18 yrs. old and her mother donated half of her liver for the transplant. Wendy has also suffered with ulcerative colitius most of her life and she has been back in our local hospital in Chico, Ca. and also Stanford Medical Hospital nine times since then. She will be graduating high school in a couple of weeks and hopefully she will be at her ceremony. She was voted "Homecoming Queen" and has been doing home schooling for the past two years. How has your post-operative experience gone? I would really appreciate hearing from anyone that can be a lifeline to my granddaughter. Sincerely, joann hosking <> - Wednesday, May 23, 2001 at 07:46:36 (PDT) Sorry to hear about your illness. Shelley, you have always been a favorite actress of mine and I will pray for your fast recovery to good health. I have enjoyed all your movies and television series such as "Coach" and "One Day at a Time". Your songs have always touched my heart. Bianca <> - Monday, May 21, 2001 at 13:21:22 (PDT) Get well soon Shelley. We all miss you on TV. Be well and happy. Kate <> - Monday, May 21, 2001 at 11:12:08 (PDT) Get well soon. I go back to the "Annie Oakley" series and loved you in "The Donna Reed Show", and what can you say about "Johnny Angel"? What a record! I'm praying for you. Ron Forstock <> - Sunday, May 20, 2001 at 21:04:53 (PDT) Shelley, I will be praying for your speedy recovery. I enjoyed seeing you in "Coach", loved "One Day at A Time" and through Nick at Nite, was able to enjoy "The Donna Reed Show" as well. Kathie <> - Friday, May 18, 2001 at 13:22:25 (PDT) Good Day, Miss Fabares! It's absolutely wonderful to see so many of your fans sending you best wishes for your return to good health. I too, join them and pray for your speedy recovery from your illness. I miss seeing your lovely face on a weekly TV show. Come back to TV as soon as you are well. Scarlette <> - Friday, May 18, 2001 at 12:15:50 (PDT) My best to you Shelley! I have been a fan of yours for many years and have admired your work on TV, movies and music as long as I can remember since my growing up years. Only a few child stars have made the transition to adult star as successfully as you have proven. I am just sorry that you have been ill and I am praying for your good health and return to television where you have been entertaining us for most of your life. Natasha <> - Tuesday, May 15, 2001 at 15:37:20 (PDT) Hi Shelley. I hope you get well so we may see your smiling gorgeous face again. I think you are one of the most beautiful women on earth. Get well soon, we all miss you. Charles Guthrie <coolguy72@webtv.net> - Tuesday, May 15, 2001 at 13:23:15 (PDT) It's so nice to see so many devoted and caring fans of Ms.Fabares. Vanessa <> - Monday, May 14, 2001 at 16:45:56 (PDT) Good day to you Shelley! Hope you had a great Mother's Day. I just know that you are on your way to a speedy recovery. Just the other evening, I was watching "Coach" and really thought that you held that show together. I purchased two of your CDs yesterday and just love your songs. People only remember your big hit song "Johnny Angel", but you also made lots of other great songs like "Love Letters", "A Boy of my Own" and "Lost Summer Love". You are loved by many fans such as myself and I hope you continue to do more TV guest appearances or another network series which would be just great. Fiona <> - Monday, May 14, 2001 at 09:38:43 (PDT) My admiration and good thoughts of your decision to go through with the transplant are magnified by my friends' battle with an autoimmune disease that left her to ill to live after battling it for 10 years. I am a blessed, 52 year old kidney transplant recipient. I know your road to recovery is more involved than mine has been, but it really does get better - - - promise! I personally challenge you to be at the 2002 Transplant Olympics! Here's to our wonderful meds! Heartfully yours, Debbie Debbie <> - Saturday, May 12, 2001 at 23:16:28 (PDT) God bless you, dear! I have always thought very highly of you. I remember your work on the Donna Reed Show quite well, and your hit song "Johnny Angel" was a big theme song for me at a certain time. Much love, Laura Laura Macdonald <> - Saturday, May 12, 2001 at 13:53:34 (PDT) Get well soon,shelley! Cheryl <> - Saturday, May 12, 2001 at 13:52:53 (PDT) Dear Shelley - My prayers are with you for a complete recovery. I so enjoyed you on the Donna Reed Show when I was a child and Johnny Angel was one of my favorite songs. I also loved the Elvis movies you were in. Just remember that so many people are thinking of you and praying for your health. You are loved. Jackie Perrings <> - Friday, May 11, 2001 at 17:17:12 (PDT) Miss Fabares, Life is a Banquet! You have had such a great career in movies,TV and music. I know you will continue to be successful in more TV series and movies when you are feeling better. How wonderful to see so many of your devoted fans wishing you well. Happy Mothers Day Shelley! Mame <> - Friday, May 11, 2001 at 11:15:27 (PDT) I hope you are on your way to recovery. You have my prayers. Juan-Nita E. Dokes-Williams <> - Thursday, May 10, 2001 at 11:52:05 (PDT) You are the best, and I wish you well. I enjoyed your interview by Bob Costas sometime back, as well as all your work. Hope you are getting better and that you will be back on the tube soon. Perhaps on "Providence" ? Love, Jim Miller <> - Wednesday, May 09, 2001 at 14:04:33 (PDT) Dear Shelley, It's so wonderful knowing that so many, many people love, respect and admire you as I have for so many years. The Donna Reed Show is my all-time favorite; I'm collecting all the memorabilia I can off the E-bay site!; Donna Reed - well, what can one say about how special she was?; Paul Petersen was and is and always will be my main teenage crush; and you, Shelley, seem to fall into the same category as Donna Reed -- there aren't enough words to express how special you are, even to those who don't really "know" you. "Girl Happy" is my favorite Elvis/Shelley movie (love "Spring Fever"!); "Johnny Angel" makes me glow every time it's on (I also have the Teenage Triangle albums and your CD's). Your singing has brought pleasure to so many people for so many years -- I thank Mr. Owen for making you sing! I hope you are as touched by all these heartfelt wishes by so many admirers as you have touched so many others over the years. You're a special lady, Ms. Fabares -- you and your special friend, Annette, are my favorites and are such an inspiration to oh so many. Bless you and yours,and thank you for all the wonderful entertainment you've given and for all the wonderful entertainment you'll continue to give. Love and hugs, Vicki Williams <> - Tuesday, May 08, 2001 at 20:03:33 (PDT) I never knew you had been ill until I read it in our Toronto Sunday Sun yesterday. You were always one of our favourites, you had such a nice voice - I don't know why the only song I heard you record was "Johnny Angel", but that was great. Just also loved you on "The Donna Reed Show" and on "Coach", I really enjoyed your character. Of course, you were really too good for Hayden (I can never forget the episode when your wedding dress got thrown in the fire). It was so sad, but so very, very funny. I hope you fully recover shortly and all the best of health, wealth and happiness. Bobbi Miron (Mrs.) <> - Monday, May 07, 2001 at 04:58:35 (PDT) My family and I are wishing you a speedy recovery so you can be embraced by all of the love that your family and friends can give you. Wishing you health, happiness and a long life. Sincerely, Cheryl Kaisler <> - Sunday, May 06, 2001 at 21:32:18 (PDT) Hi Shelley. Sorry to hear you are ill. Hope you recover quickly. I enjoy watching you (and Mike - I'm a big M*A*S*H* fan too ) on t.v. Get well soon! Lizanne Bartkowiak <> - Sunday, May 06, 2001 at 10:31:39 (PDT) Hey there Shelley! I just love all your movies and television shows you were on, especially Coach and One Day at a Time. I was not born yet when Donna Reed was on in the Sixties but have seen reruns on Nick at Nite and thought you were great as a teen star. Your hit song Johnny Angel is one of my Mom's favorite songs from her high school years. I hope you are feeling better and will love to see you again on television next fall season. Mary Beth <> - Friday, May 04, 2001 at 10:50:10 (PDT) Shelley, you must know that your heart has touched so many hearts, and that each message here is worth many thousands who do not know of this opportunity to say to you, "Thank you for all that you do, and get well." Linda Conley Ballard <> - Tuesday, May 01, 2001 at 11:54:19 (PDT) Shelley..My thoughts and prayers go out to you, Mike and your wonderful children, in your time of need. I'm sure God will shine down on you and you will come through this minor setback with flying colors. God bless. Tony Golden <> - Tuesday, May 01, 2001 at 09:10:25 (PDT) Dear, Dear Shelley! I have only learned of your illness and liver operation today when I found your website. You have been my inspiration all these years and I am praying for you and wishing you a fast recovery. I have loved your songs, movies and your many TV shows that you have graced with your presence and talent. Please know that your fans love you and wish you well. Hallie <> - Monday, April 30, 2001 at 12:25:36 (PDT) Thoughts and prayers are with you. There is no way to thank you for all your warmth & human kindness--you have touched many lives. Hope our thoughts and prayers touch you and let you know how very well you are wished. Tobybeth <> - Thursday, April 26, 2001 at 12:38:09 (PDT) Well, Shelley, you have been on TV for such a long time since you were only 3 years old. A lifetime! You have touched our lives with your many roles and admirable contributions to charities such as Alzheimers Association and the Donna Reed Foundation. Be well soon, and know that your countless number of fans love and care about you. Dina - Thursday, April 26, 2001 at 11:40:45 (PDT) You've brought us all so much joy with your beauty and talent! Thank you. Please know how many people love you and are praying for your recovery. Dawn Nickerson Fox <> - Thursday, April 26, 2001 at 06:31:12 (PDT) Dear Shelley, I want to wish you all the best and hope that the process of recovery is going well for you. I have been a fan for many years and truly believe that you are a remarkable person who deserves only the best. You have caused me to reflect on how precious our time is and I wanted you to know that you have given so much with your talent and your humanitarian efforts and now is the time to take care of Shelley!!! Peace, Health, Wisdom, Courage and Patience. Be well. Ron <> - Wednesday, April 25, 2001 at 19:57:48 (PDT) Hi Shelley! I thought I'd let you know that we are all thinking about you and hope that you will be well very soon! Over the years you have brought many smiles to me and I really enjoy your work. You are a very talented actress and a terrific lady! Best Wishes to you always! Henry <> - Monday, April 23, 2001 at 17:41:44 (PDT) Anne (Doucette), Mahle and Pauline (Clarke) Haber and myself all wish you a speedy recovery. From the old gang at Blessed Sacrament. Has Smokey had health probles too? Send her my best also. Angela (Thoemmes) Greenwood <> - Monday, April 23, 2001 at 11:46:05 (PDT) Dear Shelley, you brought such joy to so many of us girls now all in our 50's. We pray for you and a speedy recovery. Cathy, Ginny, and all the gang. <> - Thursday, April 19, 2001 at 12:48:12 (PDT) Howdy Shelley! I just am a huge fan of all your shows, mainly, "Coach" and "One Day at a Time". You were also great in many dramatic TV movies in the 70's, 80's and 90's. I really enjoyed your roles in "Brian's Song", "Friendships & Secrets", "Memorial Day", "Deadly Relations" and "Playing To Win". I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. Just remember, all your fans, as you can see from this long list of well wishers to you, care and are praying for your recovery. Madison <> - Wednesday, April 18, 2001 at 10:26:22 (PDT) There are places I remember, and there are people I remember and cherish...You Miss Fabares have always been one of my fondest memories and favorites. Shelley, you are an "Angel". I loved your movies, TV shows and CDs. Everytime I hear "Johnny Angel" I just feel like I am a teenager again and experiencing my first puppy loves. "Coach" was great and so was "One Day at a Time" and "Fernwood Forever". You were wonderful in all those shows. I am praying for your return to good health and can't wait to see you again in yet another new TV series when you are well. Best wishes. Coco <> - Monday, April 16, 2001 at 21:05:49 (PDT) I was very disheartened to read that you were ill. I have always been a fan of yours. I never missed an episode of "Coach", so thinking that you were ill left me quite surprised. I wish you all the best and a full recovery. Despite what music critics have said in the past, you are still, in my opinion, the best female pop singer of the 1960's. With much love, Lawrence Demelo <> - Monday, April 16, 2001 at 19:15:01 (PDT) Hi Shelley! So sorry to hear of your recent illness. I've been a fan of yours for years and grew up watching you on "One Day At a Time", (You should have been nominated for an emmy). You made that show. You were so funny with your one liners and your delivery. I know you've had so many successes, most recently with "Coach".(You should have won the emmy). Anyway, I'd like to wish you good health and happiness and much success in all of your future endeavors. You are truly a beautiful woman inside and out and you deserve only the best. Your tireless charity work for Alzheimers and "The Donna Reed Foundation" and your strong devotion to your friends and family are something to be proud of. You are a kind, altruistic person who deserves only the best in life. You are the definition of what a "STAR" should really be, for you are always "shining". Continue to stay strong and may you always be blessed. Steven <> - Monday, April 16, 2001 at 12:04:54 (PDT) Easter Greetings to you , Shelley and your family. I know you are on your way to a quick recovery from your illness. Your many fans and friends at the Donna Reed Foundation, Alzheimer Association and of course your TV/Movie fans, all wish you well and want you back on TV as soon as you are well. Gabby <> - Monday, April 16, 2001 at 10:51:31 (PDT) Shelley - Thru research channels I recently learned of your illness. You have touched many lives in your life's adventures and I am sure there are many watching over you now. Being an EMT, I have seen much, but have learned too that the support from others touches our heart, where unexplained miracles take place daily. You are in the hearts and prayers of many. God Bless in all your adventures yet to come and wishes for a speedy recovery. Dee <> - Saturday, April 14, 2001 at 10:06:25 (PDT) Wow, so many fans who care about Shelley! It's nice to know that there are thousands of fans who have grown up or have recently become great fans of our beloved actress, Shelley Fabares. I never missed "Coach" when it was on all those years in the nineties. I remember watching "Donna Reed" when it was on Nick at Nite and still remember Shelley on "One Day at a Time". "Johnny Angel" remains a favorite classic song and will probably always have a special place in rock 'n roll history. Do get well soon Shelley so we can see you back on TV. Nick <> - Thursday, April 12, 2001 at 18:46:35 (PDT) Dear Shelley, ''Johnny's Angel'' is looking over you, and you will have a full recovery soon! I wish somehow we can get an update, so we can all know how you are feeling. Hugs. :) Lynn <> - Wednesday, April 11, 2001 at 14:19:38 (PDT) Shelley, get well soon. And when you do, you gotta do a public performance of "Johnny Angel". Best wishes, Jon Walzer <> - Wednesday, April 11, 2001 at 10:20:57 (PDT) Ms.Fabares, I am very sad to hear of your illness. I have admired your work on "Coach" and other TV series that you have done in your career. I have all your movie tapes with Elvis and of course your CDs that have all your hit songs like "Johnny Angel" and "Last Summer". Take care, and my best wishes to you for a speedy and safe recovery. Mandy - Wednesday, April 11, 2001 at 09:58:26 (PDT) Shelley, I just learned of your illness. I hope you are well on your way to recovery. You have given so many people so much pleasure. I used to rush home from elementary school to watch you, Annette, Paul, Tim, Darlene, Johnny and all the other Mouseketeers. Then as you guys grew up, I watched "Tthe Donna Reed Show, Coach and saw you in many other programs. I think about you and Annette often because you're both just a little older than I am. When I think of you, I wonder if your visiting with each other, eating your dinner, having a good day or just what is going on with you. I have a couple of friends who have MS and I know that Annette has a struggle. I will keep both of you in my prayers. Keep your faith. It'll work out through the grace of God. Brenda Atkins <> - Tuesday, April 10, 2001 at 18:54:19 (PDT) Shelley, hang in there girl....you have been in show business for a long time since you were a child star and now adult star. You are a "survivor" and you will get through this ordeal. Our prayers and good thoughts are with you and your family. Be brave! Cassie <> - Monday, April 09, 2001 at 20:39:39 (PDT) I just learned of Shelley's illness and operation on a segment of "Dateline" on NBC last Friday. I was very sad and pray that Shelley will recover soon. I hope she will return to TV as soon as she feels well again. Hallie <> - Monday, April 09, 2001 at 11:55:52 (PDT) Hi Shelley, Greetings from Wagga Wagga Australia. I was watching "Girl Happy" yesterday on television (9/4/2001), and thought I'd look up some information on Elvis's beautiful lady loves in that particular movie. I discovered that you had surgery last year, and I'm writing just to say that I hope all went well, and that you are enjoying the best of health. Best wishes & thanks for the memories. Tony Pritchard <> Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Asutralia - Sunday, April 08, 2001 at 18:08:21 (PDT) Shelley, I'm sorry to hear about your illness. My prayers are with you. I have been in love with you from the first time I saw you on "The Donna Reed Show". I know you will be fine. I can't wait to see you back on television and movies. Love, Mark J.

Monica Marcial <> - Saturday, April 07, 2001 at 13:29:56 (PDT) Shelley; I was born in '52 so I grew up enjoying you, Paul and Donna on "The Donna Reed Show". I was mesmerised the day you sang "Johnny Angel". It's still my favourite song!! My prayers are with you Shelley and I just know you'll be up and around soon. God bless and get well soon!! Gary Byng <> - Friday, April 06, 2001 at 21:45:04 (PDT) Please get well soon Shelley. You have ben a part of my growing up years so much. I recall all of your tvv work in particular and itwas great. I may be the only one to recall you wonderful work on not just Donna Reed, One Day at a Time and Coach but Hello Larry and Mork and Mindy as well, plus the Landmark tv movie Brian's Song where you played the perfect Joy Piccolo. Anyway please recover and entertain us more soon. Best, Charlie <> - Friday, April 06, 2001 at 18:32:25 (PDT) Really miss seeing you Shelley on a weekly TV series.

I am still fighting in recovery and pray for strength and success for you in yours. We most likely share many of the same experiences and concerns. If you would like to have an informal dialogue about our common battle I would love it. I am a 35 year old man with a beautiful wife and 5 year old son that I am fighting for. May God bless you. Hank Dinenno <> - Sunday, April 01, 2001 at 21:02:31 (PDT) Dearest Shelley, I wish you good health and happiness in your recovery from your operation.

Cecil Musick <> - Sunday, March 18, 2001 at 20:36:42 (PST) Dear Shelley: I'm praying for your speedy recovery and a quick return back to work. Albert B. Franklin <> - Sunday, March 18, 2001 at 19:52:43 (PST) Dear Shelley, I hope you are feeling better and getting healthier every day. I was so sorry to hear that you had been ill and had to have surgery. I want to let you know that I will say a prayer for you and send healing vibrations your way for a fast recovery. I have been a fan of yours for a long time. I loved you in the Annette episodes on the Mickey Mouse Club, The Donna Reed Show, Cowboy In Africa, Coach, and the Elvis movies. I collected the Teenage Trios cds you, James Darren, and Paul Peterson made. James and Paul are some of my favorite people also. I am so sad when I hear about how your friend, Annette, who is another one of my favorite people, is having her own health problems. I was such a great fan of some of your co-stars, such as Elvis and Bill Bixby. I will always miss the loss of their talent. I guess it is only what we must expect when our generation starts aging, that we will have some health problems. Just remember that you are highly regarded by many fans out there, and you are not forgotten. We loved your song, Johnny Angel and your performance in Hold On with another of my favs, Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits, was fantastic. I worked at a group home awhile back, and the residents and workers all loved to dance to Johnny Angel, and the flip side of my 45, Johnny Loves Me. We were all baby-boomers, and we still love you. I try to watch you in everything I can and am collecting memorabilia of you. It brings back happy memories of my childhood. I expecially love my TV Stars Sing cd with you on it. You had such a beautiful voice and were so pretty. I had to be born ordinary, but you were one person I always admired and wished I looked like. I had three people I wanted to look like. They were Jane Seymore, Ann Margret, or you. You three women seemed so sexy to me over the years. Well, I wish you the best, Shelley, and I hope to see you on TV or in movies again soon. As you have probably guessed by now, we viewers at home see you as one of our friends. I feel like I know you somewhat, after seeing so much of you over the years. You gave me much pleasure as I grew up. You were like the girl next door and Ricky Nelson the boy next door. You two were the two people I would have loved to have lived near me. Tony Dow wouldn't have been too bad either. The 50's and 60's give me great memories and I am glad you were a part of it. Hang in there and best wishes for a complete recovery. Love, from one of your best fans. Diane Martin -Middlebury, IN - <> - Sunday, March 18, 2001 at 17:19:44 (PST) Dear Shelley, I hope everything is going well with your recovery. I, like so many others, grew up watching you on the Donna Reed Show and listening to your records. I know you have been critical of yourself as a singer, but I recently purchased a reissue of your first album and I think you sound just fine!!! Your positive spirit and enthusiasm will carry you far. You must now realize through this website how many lives you have touched over the years and I thank you for giving so much of yourself. Peace and HEALTH! Ron <> - Sunday, March 18, 2001 at 13:28:39 (PST) Hi Shelley, I didnt know you had a liver transplant and I found out today while surfing the web. I want you to get well and I'll be praying for you . You have given us so many memories and I appreciate it.

Murray <> - Saturday, March 17, 2001 at 10:40:15 (PST) There are "Angels" in this world. I do believe that Shelley is an Angel.

Get well soon. Lorrie <> - Friday, March 16, 2001 at 10:53:19 (PST) Shelley, You and Paul are some of my favorite people I watched on TV as a child. My favorite song as a child was "Johnny Angel." I pray that God restores your health with His healing touch. You have always represented such poise and gentleness that I hope you can return to TV soon, as you are needed as a role model for the children of this generation.

I join with the many others on this list regarding the happy memories of your young acting years, songs, and later TV successes. But you've had my admiration and respect as a caring and compassionate human being ever since I read about your determination--as a new step mom many years ago--to make certain that your stepchildren would have the love and energy of four parents, not just one or two. I trust that your energies in that regard have helped them to be strong adults. That is the richest legacy I could wish for you. Sherry Siegel <> - Saturday, March 10, 2001 at 12:45:43 (PST) Hi Shelley! I am hoping you are feeling better since your operation. I am keeping you in my daily prayers. I have always been a fan of your movies, TV series and music for as long as I can remember. Best wishes and get well soon. Ann Marie <> - Friday, March 09, 2001 at 21:44:52 (PST) Shelley, I want to compliment you on all your generous hard work with the Alzheimer Association as a spokesperson and of course the Donna Reed Festival you have been doing in Dennison, Iowa for the past few years. Finally, I have always loved your TV shows like Coach and One Day at a Time. Those Elvis movies were fun. I am wishing you a speedy recovery from your operation so we can see you soon once again on TV. Kathleen <> - Thursday, March 08, 2001 at 23:26:11 (PST) I loved everything I ever saw you in.

Sherry <> - Thursday, March 08, 2001 at 01:47:18 (PST) My dear Shelley, I am and remain a fan of you and your work since I was a little kid watching "Donna Reed". Your movies and numerous TV shows has always been very entertaining. Although you have stated in many interviews that you are not a singer...your songs like Johnny Angel remain ageless. I pray that your recovery from your operation is swift so you can once again entertain us fans with your talent. Harry <> - Thursday, March 08, 2001 at 01:31:51 (PST) I've been a fan of "Coach" for years, and I just want to let you know that my prayers are with you Shelley! God is watching over you!

You will get through this ordeal. I am praying for you daily and wish you the very best. Tisha <> - Tuesday, March 06, 2001 at 23:36:27 (PST) Miss Shelley, I have truly enjoyed you and your work in the entertainment business. I watch the reruns of "Coach" every morning on UPN here in Chicago. I figured out that if I start my day with some humor then the rest of it will be better. I was saddened to hear of your health problems and most recently your transplant. But I hope you know that so many of us are praying for you and your full recovery. Health is a gift that we take for granted and anyone who's ever been ill will tell you that all the money in the world means nothing if you don't have your health. My brother had non-hodgkins lymphoma earlier this year, I lost an uncle to pancreatic cancer in July and now my mother in law is in hospice care. It is hard to be sick but with love, support and prayer you will pull thru and be a stronger person for it. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Carrie Cervenka <> - Tuesday, March 06, 2001 at 11:29:43 (PST) Shelley, you're the best. I don't know what your illness is but do hope that you recover and come back to us soon; you are a joy to be around.

Be strong girl...we are all cheering you on for a speedy recovery. Liz <> - Saturday, March 03, 2001 at 23:32:44 (PST) Shelley, Angel, and we love you...And we hope that you'll get well real soon...(Sung to the tune of "Johnny Angel"). Claire <> - Saturday, March 03, 2001 at 14:03:15 (PST) Shelley, Get well soon, girl! We need you back! Take care. Jennifer <> - Saturday, March 03, 2001 at 11:32:54 (PST) We were born just 8 days apart, so we've grown up together. I've enjoyed having you in my life via television, your songs and movies.

I have long admired your work as an actress and crusader for charitable causes such as the Alheimer Association. I am praying for your return to good health and return to acting where you have entertained your fans for years. Randi Ann <> - Thursday, March 01, 2001 at 20:14:46 (PST) You are in our prayers and we wish you a speedy recovery. We always enjoyed the shows with you in them. Paul and Ines Weber <> - Thursday, March 01, 2001 at 17:15:53 (PST) Sorry to hear about your illness Shelley. Now is the time for you to be strong and spiritual to overcome your adversity.

I always tell my husband that I want our daughter who is now a teenager, to be like Shelley Fabares. You are in our thoughts and prayers Shelley, please know that we, like so many of your fans are pulling for you to get well soon. Hang in there girl, you can do it! Sally Sue <> - Tuesday, February 27, 2001 at 20:18:16 (PST) Although I have never met Shelley, I have been an admirer of this star since I was a child. After watching a segment on "Regis", I learned of Shelley's illness from her co-star on "Coach", Craig Nelson. He was so concerned about his former co-star and asked the audience to pray for her speedy recovery. Shelley, we miss you on TV and pray for your fast return back to television. Be well and keep up the positive spirit. Barry <> - Tuesday, February 27, 2001 at 18:21:53 (PST) Hi Miss Fabares! Keep up your positive and cheerful outlook. You are one of my favorite stars.

Josie <> - Tuesday, February 27, 2001 at 17:22:23 (PST) I hope that you are recovering well from your liver transplant.

I named my daughter Shelley because of your name and a classmate that was also named Shelley. Take Care. Heather T. Carr <> - Tuesday, February 27, 2001 at 15:44:31 (PST) Get well soon Shelley.

Debra Yarbrough, Tuscaloosa, Al. <> - Tuesday, February 27, 2001 at 09:54:12 (PST) Hi Shelley! I loved all those movies you did with Elvis and Fabian. I remember all your TV shows like "Donna Reed", "Brian Keith Show", "Fernwood", "One Day at a Time" and of course "Coach". You really deserved to win that Emmy when you were nominated twice. All good wishes for your speedy return to TV. Judy Ann <> - Monday, February 26, 2001 at 21:08:45 (PST) Shelley, I am praying and sending you good positive energy so you can get better soon. You still have many TV and movie roles ahead of you lady. Remember ..to take it "One Day at a Time"...sounds familiar...one of your many tv series. Tobey <> - Monday, February 26, 2001 at 20:29:23 (PST) The years have flown by and many movie and TV stars have disappeared from the public. Only you, Miss Fabares, are one of the very few who have managed to continue acting in many TV series and movies. It has been great watching you grow from child star to adult star. You are a star, Shelley. Best wishes for a quick recovery and keep that positive energy going. You are a survivor. Yale <> - Monday, February 26, 2001 at 17:33:21 (PST) Dear Shelley: My name is Cozene and I'm a big fan of yours. I wish you the best on your successful recovery. Get well soon, Ms.Fabares.

Yours truly, Cozene Watson <> - Monday, February 26, 2001 at 12:17:55 (PST) Shelley, Your T.V. family with Paul, Donna and Carl, were my T.V. family when I was a child. I watched every program and look back and laugh. You have given so much joy to people's lives. Your "Coach" program was very good also. Don't forget, everybody loves you and the most important one is God. Pray to God and He will help you. I know He will. God bless you and get well. Bob Brisbin <> - Monday, February 26, 2001 at 08:54:53 (PST) Dear Shelley, I'm sending my prayers that your recovery is quick and free of complications. I ask of you that you use your situation to help all of us with AIH and other liver diseases by getting the word out on our needs. I had never heard of AIH until I was diagnosed. We need more research monies and organ donors. My prayers are with you. Debbie <> - Sunday, February 25, 2001 at 18:10:56 (PST) Hello Shelley Fabares, I'm here in Sacramento playing your hit "Johnny Angel". It's in heavy rotation so there's always positive energy and good thoughts of you during its play.

I hope all your fans will show you their love by making sure they have signed an organ donor card and made their families aware of their desire to donate their organs. There are many people in this world waiting for organs and not enough for all of them at this point. Please sign your organ donor cards and consider a donation to the American Liver Foundation for research to prevent people from needing transplants. Carol - Rochester, NY <> - Friday, February 23, 2001 at 15:38:32 (PST) Shelley, You are in my prayers. I'm a big fan of yours and your family. I wish you a speedy recovery.

I teach a lesson on fads and fashions, and your song "Johnny Angel" is one of the highlights of the lesson. You are one of my favorite memories while growing up with you. Everyone wanted to be you. I hope that you are doing everything the doctors tell you to do, so you can continue to bless us with your beauty and smile. Tell Mike to take care of you. I love you very much.

Love, Ron and Carol Tyler <> - Sunday, February 18, 2001 at 06:58:42 (PST) Dear Miss Fabares: I recently heard about your transplant on the "Regis" show when Craig T. Nelson was a guest and asked the audience to pray for you. It is obvious that he and all the crew from the "Coach" television program are your family and concerned about you and share the belief that love and support are all it takes to get us through the tough times. God loves us all and listens to our prayers. I know you will recover from this serious illness and I hope to see you again soon on television or hear how you are doing on your website. I am about your age and have always followed you in your career. I have also had a great deal of admiration for you because of your love and concern for Annette Funicello, who I also remember as a child actress and growing up to be a beautiful adult star. God Bless you both and hold you in the palm of His hand while you heal. All the best, Kathleen Carpenter <> - Saturday, February 17, 2001 at 16:15:28 (PST) Hi Shelley, I sure hope you feel better. I have loved you in everything from "Donna Reed" to "Coach" and everything in between. I am sending you and your sweet husband also, love and prayers.

Pipher <> - Thursday, February 15, 2001 at 05:02:02 (PST) Hi Shelley - I was fortunate living in Iowa to have seen you at one of the Donna Reed festivals in Dennison.

We in Iowa appreciate all you have done in memory of Donna Reed. Please get well soon!!! We love you! Lu <> - Wednesday, February 14, 2001 at 22:00:55 (PST) Dear Shelley, A few weeks ago, your friend, Joe Esposito, told me that you had just had a liver transplant. You have been in my thoughts and prayers. I just heard, from Jim Curtin's Elvis Empire Online, that you are having some problems. I am so sorry to hear that news. My kid brother died in a car accident when he was 21. His name was John and, of course, "Johnny Angel" to me! I am now asking him, Johnny Angel, to help you out in your time of need. My love and prayers to you and your family. We need you!! xxooxxoo Ruth Shephard <> - Wednesday, February 14, 2001 at 21:07:34 (PST) Dear Shelley, Somebody cares if you're happy today, If your heart is cheerful and light.

You're thought of, remembered, and happily wished an especially wonderful day! God Bless you and Get Well Soon! Jim Curtin (The Elvis Empire) <> - Wednesday, February 14, 2001 at 20:20:26 (PST) Shelley, I hope you pull through and get better!! Martin Schuurman <> - Wednesday, February 14, 2001 at 01:15:57 (PST) Shelley, I just prayed for you, and will continue to. I want you to know how much we feel you are much more than just a celebrity, but a "real person" who cares deeply about other people's pain. I think of you more often for what you have done to help people coping with struggles, than all your years in showbiz. I hope you are healing and getting well, and know that we are just a few of the people that have found this website, and there are countless more who feel as we do. I am glad that Craig Nelson mentioned you on "Regis". I hadn't turned on televison much this past year. We are glad that we are aware of your condition so we can pray for you. All good things for you Shelley. If God be for us, who can be against us. God Bless you, Chris Barker <> - Monday, February 12, 2001 at 07:53:22 (PST) Dearest Shelley, Our prayers are with you and Mike, and your family. You've given us so much pleasure in our lifetime, watching you grow up on TV. We miss you and love you!! Diamondeve aka Pamela <> - Monday, February 12, 2001 at 07:07:31 (PST) Dear Shelley, I want to send you my sincerest thoughts and prayers for a full recovery following your liver surgery. I have to admit that I have had a crush on you since I was a kid (now I'm 53) and followed your work from "The Donna Reed Show", "Brian's Song", "One Day at a Time", "Coach" and many other things including one of my all time favorite songs, "Johnny Angel". You have always come across to me as a genuinely nice human being in a profession that sometimes I'm sure makes it tough. Your husband is a lucky man and I'm sure he knows it. My wife and I love his work on "Providence" and enjoyed him so much on "Mash" for years. In closing, I would again like to wish you a full recovery and you have my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Jim Irving <> 209 S. Evergreen Lane, Bloomington, IL 61704 - Saturday, February 10, 2001 at 20:11:30 (PST) Hi Shelley, I'm sure you don't remember me but we were at the health spa together in Ojai, around April 1987. And we did speak a few times in some of the classes. I just found out 3 years ago I have Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC). This is an autoimmune disease that affects the liver, the only treatment being a liver transplant, so I have been following your recent health problems as best I can. Please know that we wish you full recovery and a long healthy, happy life. If you feel the need to talk to people who have been where you are, email me. Take care and please try hard to get well. Many prayers go out to you. Emmy Miller <> - Wednesday, February 07, 2001 at 19:37:25 (PST) I heard about your surgery on "Regis". Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Nelson on "Regis" and was so sorry to learn that you were not feeling well. I grew up watching you on "The Donna Reed Show" and loved "Coach". You have given me a lot of wonderful memories. I sincerely hope that your recovery from the transplant is quick and successful. I think I can speak for everyone in saying that we are thinking of you. Chris <> - Tuesday, February 06, 2001 at 05:07:19 (PST) Shelley, I watch "Coach" every morning at 6:00am after getting my husband off to work. Many mornings I sit in my darkened living room with only the TV for light and watch the show and laugh. What a great way to start the day!! I will remember you and your family in my prayers and think of you each morning with a smile... :-). Linda Stooksbury <> - Monday, February 05, 2001 at 19:10:28 (PST) I feel like I have known you all my life. I was inspired by your active role in the Alzheimer fight.

We need you and your strength so get well soon. Best wishes to Mike Farrell also. I am sure he is taking wonderful care of you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones during this difficult time. Claire <> - Sunday, February 04, 2001 at 15:31:17 (PST) Dear Shelley, I've enjoyed your work since "The Donna Reed Show". I was so sorry to hear about your illness. I've had Lou Gehrig's Disease for 23 years so I know how trying sickness can be but with the support of loved ones anything is bearable. Meredith Dubin <> - Saturday, February 03, 2001 at 18:04:43 (PST) Dearest Shelley. May God and all the angels be with you to help in your fight and recovery. We all love you and pray that you will soon be gracing our TV sets again with your presence and beautiful smile. I have the picture you sent to me framed on my living room wall and wish you the best every time I pass by so I know you will be okay and healthy again soon. xoxoxoxoxoxo Karey <> - Saturday, February 03, 2001 at 08:08:59 (PST) Dear Shelley, I, like so many others, watched Craig T. Nelson on Regis' show and was so surprised to hear of your liver transplant. Please know that you are in the prayers of a great many people. You have given us such joy with your work since you were a teenager! And, although I do love Craig T. Nelson and Jerry Van Dyke, you made "Coach" all come together. Please feel better soon and know that you have had a positive impact on so many. Linda Rose <> - Friday, February 02, 2001 at 19:27:07 (PST) I wish for you good health, love, and lots of joy and laughter, and last but not least by any means, wonderful spiritual warmth and comfort. Faye Love <> - Friday, February 02, 2001 at 17:38:00 (PST) My thoughts and prayers are with you and Mike during this challenging time in your life. I'm so glad I got to meet you here in Raleigh, NC during WTVD's fall premiere party. You confirmed my thinking that you're a wonderful, caring, nice human being. May God be with you and your family. Marie Sutton <> - Friday, February 02, 2001 at 12:28:44 (PST) Shelley, My prayers and thoughts are with you. I grew up watching you and Paul and always loved telling people you were my sister and brother. My maiden name is "Stone" and my real sister's name is Shelley! I had the great joy of meeting Paul this summer and he spoke of you with such care and love. My own husband is gravely ill and I know what it's like to wish you could do more for the one who is ill. All I can do is offer my love, devotion and support. Please know that I offer those things to you too. May our precious Lord watch over you and give you strength and courage, for you are and always have been "one of the special ones". Love, Peggy Snyder <> - Friday, February 02, 2001 at 12:26:03 (PST) Thanks for all the joy you have brought me and my own children over the years. I shall pray now that the Lord will be with you daily, give you the strength to endure and grant you a full and speedy recovery. Hang in there and remember you are thought of and cared about by all of us who grew up with you. Gary Cudworth <> - Friday, February 02, 2001 at 11:31:56 (PST) Dearest Shelley, You are my big sister even though you will never meet me. I so admired Mary Stone and your other roles. I am 49 and hated my name until I saw you and it was perfect because I loved Donna Reed and to be her daughter, even acting was a dream to a girl from a very disfunctional family. Even though I no longer spell my name with the added "E", I am still a Shelley sister in spirit. I can only wish that you try to visualize this painful time as soon to be passed and put your mind in the most beautiful places you've been with those you love near. Feel the love and embraces on your soul from all of us out here who cherish your being, your work and how you represented us as real women. Much, much love, Shelly Malone from Portland, Oregon. : - ) <> - Friday, February 02, 2001 at 09:32:36 (PST) Dear Shelley, I heard Craig T. Nelson mention your recent surgery and I was struck by the news. A sudden rush of memories, not only of "Coach", but all the way back to Disney, Donna Reed and The Annette Series. I'm 53 and feel like we went through the same era together. Please know how much you are in my thoughts and prayers. Our daughter graduated from USC in Drama back in 1992. I told her then that there are truly classy actresses that evolve, change, grow, and continue to choose roles that reflect intelligence in women, ethics in humanity, and the real joy of the acting business, which can be so cruel. Your name was one of those I gave as examples of truly classy actresses. Though I do not know you personally, I do know you through the roles you have chosen. I remain one of your longest and sincerest fans. My very best to you, now and always. Can't wait to see you again, if you choose. Please let me and others know your favorite causes so we may make a significant donation in your name. Thanks for all the years of quality entertainment! Love, Judith Spencer Merrill aka "99" <> - Friday, February 02, 2001 at 07:37:28 (PST) Dear Shelley, Your buddie Craig T. Nelson says you are ill and need a smile. Well that's fair because you have given me so many of them. "Coach" worked because of Christine. Loving, feisty, forgiving, she was a character no one will forget. You have made your mark. Do get well soon and come back to us again with another great portrayal. Marcia Snyder <> - Friday, February 02, 2001 at 06:54:55 (PST) Keep the faith. My thoughts are with you and your family. Jane <> - Friday, February 02, 2001 at 00:14:19 (PST) Shelley, I'm sending loving wishes for a speedy recovery. You have brought so much happiness to so many with your music and acting. Keep your faith and let the love of others strengthen you. Phyllis <> - Thursday, February 01, 2001 at 22:53:31 (PST) Shelley, I heard about your surgery on "Live With Regis" this morning when Craig T.Nelson was on. Our prayers go out to you. I loved watching "Coach". May God bless you. Mary <> - Thursday, February 01, 2001 at 21:20:34 (PST) I'm praying for your total recovery. I admire you so much for your dedication to Alzheimers. My sister is in the last stages of this dreaded disease. I have always enjoyed your acting and I truly loved "Coach". God Bless. Mary Hill <> - Thursday, February 01, 2001 at 18:10:45 (PST) Please accept my prayers for you and your family that you will get well soon. You always brought such much warmth and sunshine to millions of people's lives. Thank you for that. Pat <> - Thursday, February 01, 2001 at 17:23:09 (PST) Dear Shelley, I heard on "Live with Regis" this morning of your illness. I will be praying for you.

I was blessed this past May with a new liver so I have first-hand experience with what you are going through and how important support is. I too had an autoimmune disease along with PSC.

Sincerely, Marlene Vertin <> - Thursday, February 01, 2001 at 09:15:45 (PST) Dear Shelley, I have watched you since you were little. I still have a tape of "Teenage Triangle" but it is very worn out from use. I loved "Coach" and hated to see it go off the air. I pray for you to get stronger and hope you start to feel better. I heard you were sick from your friend Craig T. Nelson on "Live With Regis" this morning. You have all my prayers. Thank you for years of joy and many more to come. A great fan, Dorothy Johnson <> - Thursday, February 01, 2001 at 08:36:29 (PST) Dear Shelley, We've enjoyed your charm and talent from the days of "The Donna Reed Show" to the more recent "Coach" and we are not ready to let go of you.

Liz <> - Thursday, February 01, 2001 at 08:28:58 (PST) Dear Shelley, All of the years you've entertained us with your talent, poise, songs and sweetness; it was very hard to hear that you were ill.
