Hi Wela.  Estava aqui en mi trabajo pensando a ti.  Le extrano mucho.  Me da feliz que ya vuelves en seguida de Welo.  Yo se que ahorra estan feliz y le dan gusto a ser angeles guardian de nosotros.  Te amo much.  

My deepest condolences to Susana's family. She will be greatly missed. Susana was my neighbor and dear amiga. She was there for me when I was grieving the loss of my beloved husband and was going through the most difficult time. Susana lifted my spirits and we had heartfelt talks, especially about family. We shared many memories. She encouraged me to go on and make the best of the rest of my life, and I have. I am forever grateful for Susana's friendship, encouragement, inspiration, and love. 

Mom was the strongest woman I ever knew.  It was evident after birthing 11 babies and living in this world for 96 years. She was one special human being showing so much care and love of others. Even though, as she aged I didn’t get to see her much because of distance, she always thought and prayed for me and my family. I could always count on her blessings and prayers. She loved all of her family equally. My mom was my hero and made me find her strength within myself. RIP mom y Via Con Dios y la Virgen.....🌹🌹🌹🌹...Here are Roses from me, Krista, Mariah and Nicolas!!! I am a better person because of you!💜

I knew Mrs. Barraza since I was probably just out of diapers.  She made the best tortillas! My best memories of Susana were when I was a little kid on Sat. mornings I would run down the street to my best friend Tuddy's house so I could have a fresh homemade tortilla, sometimes with bean and egg.  But I would be happy to just have one with melted butter.  Susana was one of the sweetest persons I have ever known!  Until the last time I saw her probably a couple of years ago, she would always ask me "How's your mom?" She always thought of other people. What a wonderful woman she was! I will miss her dearly!


Grandma I will forever miss you.  All the times you would come for Christmas. We would make your famous cookies. I am so happy my kids got to spend time with you. Adrian the clown in my family would always make you laugh the way he tried to speak Spanish. It wasn’t  good but you could understand him anyway. Veronica sweet Veronica now she could speak to you In Spanish she learned just so she could talk to you. Luis the Quiet one, with the tattoos. We will always keep you in our Heart!! Oh, let’s not forget Your David he never did no wrong he would tell you I was picking on him and you would tell me “Delia, no seas mala.” I will forever miss you.

Our deepest condolences to all family and friends.  Our father, Tiburcio Sanchez, and Susana were first cousins. Their mothers, Gregoria and Elena were sisters.  We have very fond memories of Susana and Maria coming down to Brownsville for Charro Days back Several years ago.   We so enjoyed their company and always looked forward to spending time with them. May God comfort you And continue to bless you all during this difficult time.

Mom I will be missing you for the rest of my life, I am so sorry that I could not be at your side, but I know that knew that I probably might not be be able to be there at your time, but that you would not love me less. I remember all of my life with you, and will never forget it. We will all be together again. Love you always. your son Chemo

My Sweet Wela,
My best memories were spending all my Summers with you as a kid. Waking up to the smell of breakfast that ALWAYS included tortillas the size of Texas. I also remember you would sit on the floor with us and play Jack's. I will never forget you and all the fun we had playing Loteria and Toma todo on your dining table. And yes of course, those famous Pan de polvo cookies. You finally let me make my own batch four years ago, without taking the bowl from me telling me," Dejame hacerlo. No lo estás haciendo bien." And you refused to use the Texas themed shaped cookie cutters I bought just for that batch. You said, the Armadillo looked like a rat. We laughed so much. But most of all I will miss your hugs and kisses. 
I am most grateful that you got to meet my Granddaughter's Ryleigh and Ariannna.  They will have found memories of you too. I am not saying good bye Wela. I am saying, see you later.  I miss and love you so much.

My dear loving Wela.  I miss you greatly already.  I am so honored and blessed to have had you as such a big influence in my life.  You showed me nothing but love, even when I wasn't so deserving of it.  I looked forward to our visits and listening to your stories.  You understood every word of my "spanglish"!  You taught many things throughout my life including how to make the infamous pan de polvo, which Lalo thanks you, but they will NEVER be as good as yours.  I love you so much Wela!

Susana Barraza will always have a special place in my ❤️,she always made me feel I was special to her.she was kind ,full of life,a joy to be around.a great cook I remember her pan de polvo,and her tuna casserole,just the best.I love you now and always🙏🏼😢
