To The Mattera Family,
I am sorry for your pain and loss. I know heaven is a little richer for Dr. Mattera is there now. I know he will look out for all of you until you all meet again. He was my doctor from 1963 until his retirement and he held my hand with my 3rd child because he was supposed to deliver him but he wrapped the cord around his neck and I needed an emergency c-section..but he took care of all 4 of my children util they married..His pride is his own children was quiet...

Mattera Family:

You are in our thoughts and prayers in this time of sorrow. We have enjoyed getting to know you in Ocean City over the past several years, and wish we had the opportunity to get to know the doctor better. From the guestbook entries, he was a remarkable man
