VIDAURE, Margaret E.

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 mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, 5614 W. Orangewood Ave, Glendale, AZ. Published in The Arizona Republic on 6/5/2007.
