Dad, 
   words can never describe what you mean to me, as a man, a father, a husband and grandfather. Thank you for the unconditional love that you had for me, and for molding me in to the man, father and husband I am today. Although I am deeply sadened by your abscence, I take comfort in knowing you are walking with the lord in paradise. I love you always dad...
your son,
Ernesto Mata jr.

Ernie, We've known you and Bea for a few short wonderful years. Listening to music is not going to be same, we will remember you pumping your fist up at a ZZ Top song. We will keep Bea, your son and family in our prayers. We love you very much and you will be missed..Sandy Saenz and Michael Matthew Lopez

  Ernie and family,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. 
I remember your dad well when we hung out as kids. He always supported your sports and He always had a smile ear to ear.
My very best to you and your family

Our sincere condolences to Ernie's family, especially to Bea,  Ernie Jr. and family. We have known Ernie for many many years and have shared  numerous parties and get togethers with the Matas. True, Ernie always had a smile or joke to tell. May God bless his family and give them the strength to keep enjoying his most loving memories.

"I am not afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens."

Ernie and family, my deepest condolences on the passing of your father.  He has found his peace and I am confident he did so knowing he raised a wonderful man.  Blessings to you, your mom and your children in this difficult time. God is your standup and your recovery.

We enjoyed caring for Mr.Mata, it was a pleasure to be greeted by his smile, he knew us all by name. He shared countless stories with us of his wife and family. He will truly be missed.

As a nurse it is hard to lose a patient but Mr. Mata was more than that. He always came in with a smile on his face and a joke to tell. We will miss him terribly and pray that God wraps His loving arms around his family and his friends. It will be strange not to see him each week in the unit but we know that he is happy and resting now. God bless you all, we will continue to pray for you.
In faith & hope,

As a patient, Mr. Mata, will always have a special place in my heart. No matter what he was feeling, he always came into the hospital with a smile on his face and a joke to tell. We will miss him terribly and ask God to wrap His loving arms around Ernesto's family and friends during this tough time. As a nurse it is always rough to lose a patient but he was much more than that to us here in Outpatient.God bless you.
In faith & hope,
