Margaret Vidaure Obituary

Margaret E. Ayala Vidaure You came to this world on January 20th, 1933 and went on your journey to Heaven June 5th 2006. You were a wonderful wife to Andres and a good Mom to Esther, Fred and Andy. You were a great older sister to Rosa and Violet. You were the glue that held us together. You may have been small in size but had a big presence. We miss your delicious cooking. Thank you for all the times you opened up your home and heart for any occasion and worked at making everything perfect. Thank God he made you the character you were because it has left us with memories that are now our gifts. How we miss picking up the phone and hearing your voice saying "what are you doing"? So many reached out to you for help in your works at Al-Anon. You kept an immaculate home. We miss your Swiss Colony at Christmas, especially the pettit fours. You dressed to impress. How beautiful you looked when you walked out the door. You married Andres and started the family we are today, a daughter, two sons, two daughter-in-laws, 7 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild. You were known as Margaret, Margarita, Chita, Wife, Mom, Nana, Nanie, Grandma, Margo, Sister, Sister-in-law, Aunt and Tia. Tears are shed because our lives are not the same since you went to be with the Lord. We are comforted knowing you left so you could go help prepare the perfect eternal home. You will be waiting at the gates of Heaven as the perfect hostess. We love you and miss you …your family. Join the family at Mom's church on June 10th 2007 for open 8:30am mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, 5614 W. Orangewood Ave, Glendale, AZ.

Though I only met you once or twice in my adult life it was a pleasure. When I told my mother last year about your passing, we prayed for you and your family as we will again. Love, Your Godson.

Margaret,

I have only seen you one time in 37 years, but it seems like only yesterday that I was taking you to work. You will be missed in this world for your loving way. I miss you Margaret and bless you for having a wonderful daughter, and two wonderful sons, and as you had known your daughter Esther will always remain very dear to me.

I love you Margaret.

Mom,
It's so hard to believe that a year has passed, I miss you so much and think of you every day, so much has happened in the past year, I miss seeing the excitement in your eyes and your smile when Andrew was born, how you loved your children and grandchildren you were so proud. Rebekah graduated from high school, I miss not sharing her Senior picture with you, you always told her she was so beautiful, Lance is so big now. Mom, I miss you so much, and I want to thank you for always treating me like a daughter. I sure hope you and my mom "Mrs A" are having a good time catching up on old times, I know that we will see each other again sometime, but for now I have to be strong for Andy and my family, I will be a strong and loving mother the way you always were, I will love my daugher-in-laws the way you loved me. Thank you for raising such a wonderful son, my husband Andy, you would have been so proud to see him graduate from college, he was lucky to have a mother like you, he always quotes a lot of the things you use to say to him when he was a child, he writes a lot about you in his school work. I have to quit this crying because you would tell me my eyes were to close to my bladder, until I see you again, I will love you forever...

Dear Mom,

This anniversary brings home the reality you are gone. At times it still doesn't seem possible. It feels like yesterday you were here but on the other hand it seems like forever since you left. I celebrate that you are now in eternal peace and glory and it is selfish for me to wish you back. Give Michael a hug for me.

I love you Mom,

Esther
