Leon Mata Memoriam

In Loving Memory Leon Mata March 15, 1940 November 15, 2004 The most precious husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather ever. Dad, our hearts broke in a million pieces when you were taken from us one year ago. Through out your life you have helped your family, friends and business partners. Your golf friends dedicated a beautiful bench at your golf course for you on your birthday. I know you were there with us all in spirit. We know that you are with our Lord Jesus Christ and we will all be together one day. We miss you and we love you. Your Wife, Daughter, Son and Family Legacy.com

My ever loving husband, empty spaces in an ocean of my own with out you, I am lost incomplete to face this world alone.

My ever loving husband, empty spaces in an ocean of my own, without you I am lost and incomplete, to face this world alone.

I pray for this heart to be unbroken, I miss you so much,

I think of you day and night. I pray for you always. You still live in my heart, always and forever.

Love you, your wife, Mary

Dad, I am still in shock that you were taken from us! I never knew what a broken heart felt like till that day last year 11/15/04. I can still hear your advice each day. I love and miss you so much! Your close friends have been there for us through these tough times... and I can catch a glimse of you when I see and talk with your brothers and your dad. Life will never be the same now that you are gone.
