Pauline Dolores Vidal - Online Memorial Website

When I was growing up in mtn. view ( wow lots of memories of mom) I couldn't understand why all the kids wanted to hang out at our house, all the time. I guess when your a kid and a beautifull older woman, like my mom asks you to come in, have some dinner, are you thirsty. Well I guess I would hang out there also. But that all came to an end when I caught my buddy eddie checking out my mom, I said well thats it kitchen's closed! My point is that my MOM loved to take care of people, it made her happy to see other happy. We need lots more people like this, so if you have a chance to have someone like this in your life, you need to savor and cherish every moment because GOD might need an angel, like he did with my MOM. I cant begin to tell you how blessed I was to have Pauline as my MOM. That is what gets me through this, and I cant let my MOM down. Thats part of the streingth she passed on to me. Thanks MOM! I've got so many memories and I would love to tell all of them, but it took me over one hour to write this my fingers are killing me I suck at typing. I'll write back in a little while. I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are so many memories in my 8 year old mind........one that sticks out that is soooo funny, every time I think back I laugh......when Grammy came to Dads house and was really sick, one night she was reading the "Holy Bible" on the bed, I was trying to read the cover of the "Book" and thought it said "Hally Bibble", we both started cracking up laughing on the bed after I pronounced it to her.  

I have many memories of my sister Pauline, She lived with us for a while, we had lot's of fun, my kids remember her for her cooking and when she cooked she brought such peace in my home, my kids loved her cooking she was homemaker at heart, she wanted to make sure my kids ate, I remember when times my husband and I were going through tough times, she was there to watch my kids, I remember the times I used to tell her Pauline I can not take it anymore, I told her all of my problems all she did was listen, never told me to leave my husband, but she said hang in there knowing we had problems, there were times she assisted me with my family with house chores good house cleaner, I can not count how many time she walked me through tough times and even now when I remember her, I think of the times she encouraged me every step of the way, my sister had a gift for family, she was strong and beautiful, just before she died, she left a message on my phone saying ok, Diane you must be out doing things, Pauline I am sorry for not being there at that moment, My sister Pauline used to tell me Diane, I live in a fantasy world, I used to run from my problems , but Pauline was there to set me straight with her words and understanding sometimes they were harsh at the time, but I have learned so much form her I look back now and think she was my angel sent from heaven, I believe that, I will miss that so much, one more memory of her is more resent when she was sick in the hospital, I went to see her in the hospital, she was having a bad day, but when I arrived at the hospital she reached out her arms and grabed me and said Diane I am dying and she cried like a baby she grabed on me so hard, I hugged her and kissed her and I said your going to be ok, I guess she was coming to terms with her illness, we bounded that day and than with her big brown beautiful eyes she looked at me and said Diane why are you looking at me like that, I could not hold back and stop the tears and she knew I Knew she was in allot of pain, I told her I am looking at my big beautiful sister and I held her and we cried together this the best memory I have of her  i will take this memory for ever it is so precious, as I look back now everything she did there was a reason a lesson to be learned if we all just look back of all the memories we have of her there is something she taught us all, so she was a angel sent to all of us for this short time, her mission was done with us, but she leaves a legacy, we all must search our inner souls everything she did, severyone she met, every accomplishment she did, every challenge she faced she did it perfectly and left a mark in our hearts forever

Hi Auntie Pauline I don't know what memory to share because my cousins and I have so many from you taking us downtown to ticos tacos, or even shopping mostly at walmart that was your favorite store, but the best memory that I shared with you was when I was in my early teens and was fighting a lot with my stepdad @ the time I remember calling you and asking if I can go spend the day with you, you talked to my mom and she said yes I came over to grandma's house ran in your room and immediatly started crying to you pouring out my problems  about how much I didn't like my stepdad and blamed everything on him why we didn't have a good relationship everyone else I told said that I was being a brat and said I was lying, you never once sided with my stepdad you were always on my side and beleived me you don't now how much just you beliving in me mean't when I had everyone else against me saying I was a liar you always had the right words to say to soothe me you were the best aunt I could ask for and Im so glad you were there while I was growing up I Love You and Thank You

Shellina. 

When we lived at the Primrose house and Dad told me that you were coming to live with us, I screamed as loud as I could. When you got here we did soo much.  We went to get my ears pierced and went to Wiener-Schnitzel to get my mind off the pain.

 

Another memory.....when ever we went down to your house, you ALWAYS had something for me. Clothes especially.  On my birthday, you had the tallest bag of clothes I've ever seen. I know you spent hours picking out each thing!

 

 

I've been thinking so much lately and one vivid memory that comes to mind.........when Adrian and I were first married, Lil Adrian was just a baby.....we were dirt poor and on our last dollar not knowing how we would make it til the next pay period. Adrian being the prideful sole that he was didn't tell anyone..........all the sudden in comes my Mother-In-Law, Pauline with groceries that would last us for a month, she bought all my favorite items, along with all the staples needed. She was like an Angel that day. I remember thinking how did she know we needed that, she just knew!
