This is to all the family... What Bert and I shared was just between us the good thing was it NEVER ended.... He told me that he would always love me and he knew that I would always love him. Our last conversation was so wonderful even though I knew he was sick. He was still there for us. I'm sad that OUR CHILDREN weren't called so that they could at least say there good bye's how sad...Can ANY body even imagine what they are going through..I guess not if it wasn't important enough to talk to him or see him for the last time...WOW what wonderful people that hurts just to make a point . May all of Bert's friends know that this is kathy's doing WHAT A BIG HEART SHE HAS. To keep the kids from their Daddy Thanks My heart and prayers go out to Elva only....What the pain of losing a child feels like only WE would know. Tonya

This is to everyone who reads about OUR DADDY... We weren't mentioned in the obituary. As his kids but yet WE were the only kids he had. So this is to the family .We did love our dad but wasn't allowed to go around him as long as Kathy was there cause he said that she was jealous and he didn't wanna fight with her. So we let him have his peace. But she don't know of all the phone calls and text messages we got from OUR daddy!!!! So for all of you that think it was your bussiness not to call us remember WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!!! KARMA IS A BITCH. I JUST WANT TO TELL THE HEARTLESS PEOPLE WE LOVE YOU DADDY AND WE HAVE ALOT OF MEMORIES WITH YOU! HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON.RIP!!!

Debbie McKinstry left a message on November 30, -0001:
I'm so very sorry for the people who have chosen to use this and this website to badger and TRY to degrade one of the most loving and caring woman that i have ever known. I personally have watched her love and care for her husband, whom she loved with all her heart, unconditionally. Bert had a few requests before his passing, and as a true and faithful wife, Kathy assured him his last wishes would be done. Kathy fullfilled each and every one, including not putting certain names in the obituary. That was his wish not her's! I am so very thankful to have known Bert during his time left here on earth, for i met and became friends with a man with a heart of gold. We played alot of games of pool and had a few beers , i'll remember him always as being a real true friend. I am blessed to have Kathy still here and still a wonderful friend. We will go having good times, and Bert will always be there with us in our hearts and watching over us from above. To the jealous x-wife, you are blowing in the wind, it was obvious where Bert's love was. Just remember, once an x, always an x. Kathy if you need me for anything, all you have to do is call, Im here for you. Your friend, Debbie
Terrie Hobbs left a message on November 30, -0001:
Kathy, God bless you all and watch over you during this time of sorrow. Don't ever feel guilty for granting Bert's last wishes! When a person is in that position to do something for someone they truly love, you just can't say no! When a promise is made, it is to be kept! I know how you're feeling. If you ever need me, all you have to do is call or come see me!Bert will truly be missed by all of his friends here at Your Place! We love you Kathy! God bless you and take care of you. Love, Terrie

Bert was my step-dad for almost 17 years. He was full of energy and humor and was always willing to help anyone in need. He will be missed! My heart is with my mom at this time. She is a loving and caring person, and she took wonderful care of Bert until the very end. I am thankful that Bert had my mom, his family, and true friends around during his final days on Earth. I know he is smiling on us from Heaven...
Mark Dunn left a message on November 30, -0001:
My heart goes out to the family. Bert was my childhood friend and it was a friendship I deeply cherished. Even though we hadn't talked in many years I tried to keep up with his whereabouts through his family. We shared many great times together through sports, work, and just hanging out. Times that I will never forget. This is a reminder that tomorrow is not promised to us so make the best of the relationships that we have and to treat everyone with decency and respect. Rest in peace brother.

Rita C. left a message on November 30, -0001:
I would like to thank my sister-in-law, Kathy Calderon, for taking care of my brother until his last moment. She was always there for him. For that I am forever grateful. My brother, Bert, was a good brother, son and father. His four children included Bambi, Ana, Mark, and Marcus. Their names were not included in his obituary. This may have been hurtful for them to be left out. But I hope they will remember they were the ones who wanted to change their last names. They were the ones, who didn’t want to be Calderon. This truly devastated my brother until his last day. I spoke with Burt before his passing. He felt his children were ashamed to be his. That is why he asked to have their names omitted from the obituary. It was his wish. For nearly six years Bert knew he could be terminally ill. Anyone who wanted to shower him with love and joy, had more than a chance to do so. Six years is a long time to forgive and embrace someone. But now, he is gone. Through grief and emotion, hatred has festered. Please don’t surround this man’s death with bad memories and regrets. There is no need to argue or publicly use his death as a smear campaign. Bert was surrounded by loved ones, in his final days. His immediate family and some of his extended family, including his nieces and nephews, that he loved as his own children were present. He was loved everyday and will continued to be by his family and friends. And I will know that I truly cared for my brother, as did others. To those who miss him, as I do, please keep a place in your heart for him. God grant us the ability to embrace each other in this time of pain. God help us move on and find strength to do good works in his memory. God help those who may be distracted by anger and grief to also find peace.

Rita and the rest of the Calderon family,, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I went to school in Fort Stockton with Bert and you. I remember that nice black car he had, he was everyone's envy. He was a very nice and polite guy. I will keep you all in my prayers and ask God to give you all strength in the days to come. May he rest in peace.
Charlie Rodriguez left a message on November 30, -0001:
Kathy, I just want you to know that you are my hero! I have never seen a woman love her man as much as you loved Bert. I envy that! I only hope that I could be as strong as you if God Forbid I were in the same situation. The things you done for him was amazing, I am sorry that the kids didn't come around until after he had passed, they should be ashamed, not you. You gave him a wonderful life and gave him his last wishes. I do hope the kids understand and heal. Bert was a good man and he will be missed. If you need anything please call me! Charlie

I want to express my sympathy for your loss to all of Bert's family. We graduated together from FSHS in 1982. I remember him as a very kind and respectable person. I didn't know he had been ill but sounds like he is no longer in pain. May he rest in peace and all of his family find peace in this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Bert's family. We were classmates and graduated the same year. Bert was a very kind person and a great athlete. I pray that the family is able to get through these tough times and heal. May Bert rest in peace.

First off I would like to tell my Uncle Bert that I love you and you will always be missed. I don't think that you will ever know how much your children and family miss you and morn your death. I know that I would have liked to get to tell you bye one last time... I had not seen you in years, but that does not mean that I did not love you... I don't know what kind of people would think just because you loose touch with the ones you love, means that you no longer love them... I loved you very much, and have many childhood memories of you and Aunt Tonya... You were so good to all of us... I know that we all make mistakes and have regrets. I know that your children Jonathon, Bambie, Ana, and Marcos all wish they would have gotten to spend more time with their Daddy, but that was not an option for them thanks to your wife Kathy. I lost my Father at 15 years old and know what it is like to loose your dad... I hardly ever got to see my Dad or talk to him, but the time that I did see and talk to him were cherished by both of us... Just as Uncle Bert with all my cousins. A father and childs love never parishes no matter how much time passes, only jealous people would try to take such a presious thing from them. I know that attending my fathers memorial brought a little closure for me, Which Kathy has taken from not only Uncle Bert's children but his grandchildren as well... Uncle Bert had such a big heart... He was so good to everyone he met... I know that Bambie and her two girls (Taylor and J'Naya) lived with Uncle Bert for over seven months, and this was cherished by Uncle Bert and his daughter and grandchildren... It is a shame that his grandchildren will have to grow up wondering where their papa is because they did not get to tell him bye and that they loved him... Does anyone know how hard that is to explain to little children about their papa? Apparently Kathy doesn't care about anyone but herself... I don't personally know her, but have never heard anything good about her... Even when I was able to talk to my Uncle Bert on the phone a few times... I love him and know that he and my dad are talking about how they miss Tonya and Elizabeth and how wonderful all their kids and grandkids are... And one day we will get to see them again... Uncle Bert was OUR family,,, and we loved him even as the time passed and didnt talk to him... He will always be in my heart.... Love Always and Forever, Your Loving Niece, Amber

To Bert's hurtful and jealous family! I cannot believe that any of you are even kin to such a sweet and giving man. One minute you write how much you loved and miss him, and the next you're trying to degrade the wife that HE chose to spend the rest of his life with. It's really very childish on all of ya'll's part. He's dead, why can't you let him rest in peace? YOU should be showing respect and honor his memory, without being so vindictive and mean. I believe he's looking down at all of you immature people, who are threatening Kathy and being so ugly, with tears streaming down his face. He deserves to be remembered with love and pride. Kathy deserves to mourn the loss of her long time husband in peace, regaurdless of how some of you may feel. SO GROW UP AND SHOW THE DEAD A LITTLE RESPECT!!!!!
