Mi querido padre, 
I miss you so much. It’s still very hard not seeing you when I get home and to see your favorite chair in the living room empty.  I miss receiving phone calls from you asking when I would be coming home despite the fact that I would be home around the same time everyday because I knew you it was your way of checking in. I find myself looking at the clock waiting and wishing to receive that call. I miss your jokes, even the ones that weren’t that funny because seeing you laughing made me happy and laugh with o you. I admire you so much, growing up I saw you as a hard working, loyal, honest, strong, and caring man. I also want to thank you for the tough love and for being extra tough on lupe and I. I really do believe that that tough love is what shaped Lupe and I into the strong Calderon women we are today. I am grateful to have been able to experience seeing you become a grandfather who just loved and doted on his grandkids/ great grandkids and seeing how your face would light up when you saw them filled my heart with joy. I am thankful for the 48 years that i was able to have with you and the memories we created as a family I just wish we had more time to spend with you but remember that this is not a goodbye but only a till we meet again. 
I love you padre. 

Pa Fonso, 
I don’t think there are any words to describe how much I love you and miss you. I wish God was able to grant us the time for you to meet Ulyses but I understand that it was your time to part and enter an eternal life that was full of peace and where you no longer had to feel pain and I am grateful to have 21 years worth of memories with you, memories  I will share with Ulyses so he knows just the kind of person our Pa Fonso was. I will share the memories of when we played “ojo chicharo” and when we would yell out “vaca” every time we past a field full of cows and the time when you would bring vivi and I catalogs of quince dresses from Martha’s dress shop when we were small and dreamed of having quinceañeras as well as when you would always bring me a bag of chips with soda from the store and mantecadas from the panadería despite the fact that I was already 18-21 years old because that was your way of showing that you still thought of me. Thank you for being the best grandpa anyone can have. Te quiero mucho papá 

Hi ( Alfonso) Pafonso, I’m so glad I had the opportunity to know you! Every memory I can remember is just laughs, smiles and giggles. Thank you for loving my boys so much and spoiling them with hugs and soccer jerseys and dollars every time you came to visit. Thank you for being a wonderful grandfather to my boyfriend who has learned so much from you! He did little things like you, I see it now! For example when we would bbq, and we forgot napkins or plates you would drive to Garcia’s market and make 7 different trips just making sure we had everything. Alfredo does that now. Just little thoughtful things you would do I see that he does it now. I love it, thank your for your blessing of the beautiful name we get to call my baby now! Leonel, it’s perfect for our little Leo. I’m sad and sorry we couldn’t make more memories together as a family, I wanted to learn Spanish so bad so I could come over and just conversation with you and Manina, but very happy I learned enough to greet you and ask how your day was. Also mispronouncing the names in lotteria making you laugh. Thank you for everything, we all miss you. 

Dad, 

I miss you a lot. I feel the tears in my heart and my eyes. I love you!

Joel Calderon

Querido esposo, 

Come te extraño, fuiste mi compañero de 50 años y tengo muchos recuerdos bonitos de ti. Fui muy feliz a tu lado. Te quiero much.

Tu esposa, 
Abelina Calderon 

Pafonso, as I lay these words down, it hurts my heart. You are one of the strongest , best men I know. As sad as it is that you aren't physically here with us, we couldn't know and watch you suffer no longer...as much as I just wanted to break through the concrete wall that stood between us to give you a hug  and bond, the time came that you faded away into heaven. There's so much pain in my soul, I could never let you go. There's a piece of empty and loneliness in our hearts without you here. You made our world such a better, happier place but until we meet again your spirit will live through all of us. You are forever the blueprint to this, Calderon, family. I appreciate you for all that you've done for our family but as well for me as my grandpa and my father. You stepped up for me, anytime I need you. When I was brought into this world it was just my mother, I had no father but you. You rode a bike when you had no car to the next city over to ensure you could see me and welcome me into the world, better yet to let me know you got me no matter what. Thank you for the memories you left us with, they're heartwarming and even though we love you deeply we couldn't make you stay. God broke our hearts to let us know he only takes the best. A golden heart stopped beating and hard working hands got put to rest. I promise you that I will be the best man, father, and husband I can be just like you were. I love you always and forever until we meet again in our eternal life. One love, one struggle, one heart beat. 
Your grandson,
Victor Calderon

¡Papá, como te extraño! Se me hace tan difícil ir a tu casa y no verte sentado en tu cilla viendo la televisión y comiendo semillas. La casa está tan triste, callada, y siento un vacío al no poder hablar contigo. Los meses pasan y hay días que no puedo creer que no estes con nosotros. Tengo muchos recuerdos de ti y tu voz la tengo grabada en mi mente. Le pido a Dios que tu descanso eterno sea tranquilo. Tus últimos años en la tierra fueron difíciles y mereces tranquilidad. Te quiero mucho papá, todos te queremos y te extrañamos. No te digo adiós, sino hasta pronto. Dios te bendiga mi querido papá. 

Lindos recuerdos que quedarán en mi mente  esta foto fue tomada el día dela boda de mis primos Ricardo Calderon y Ana Pantoja  ,un hombre fuerte y luchador que le interesa mucho el bienestar y felicidad de su familia en general  me dijo que se esperaría hasta que terminara la fiesta porque estaba acompañando a su hermano y a toda la familia y le gusta que le presenten a los hijos y familiares de los sobrinos para ir conociendo a toda la familia  fue un gran guerrero tanto que por no darle preocupaciones a la familia siempre dijo estoy bien  ,por siempre viviras en nuestros corazones a través de los recuerdos tio Dios te tenga en su santa gloria y brille para ti la luz perpetua y que descanse en paz ,Padre Eterno te ofrezco la presiocicima sangre de tu divino hijo Jesús en unión con todas las misas selebradas hoy en todo el mundo por todas las benditas almas de el bendito purgatorio por todas las almas de todo el mundo por todas las almas de la iglesia universal por todos los que están en mi hogar y en mi familia amen.

I am so very sorry for your loss! It was an honor to have met your dad! He was a kind and compassionate man and so strong. He fought so hard and never gave up, he loved you all so much. He gave us a guayaba tree and and every time I see it I think of him, we will care for that tree and remember him always. Sending you a big hug and all of my support. 

-Ana Pantoja-Calderon 

I remember when my dad went to pick him up for my cousins wedding and he was excited to be here he got to see his sister (my grandma) his smile of happiness. He never complained about been sick or not feeling good. He was always a happy guy. He will always be in my mind n heart. Love you guys. You can always message me if you guys want to talk or need anything we are here for you guys.
