I have just received an email from Saundra Barragan's daughter:
"I am sorry I don't know how to work this site, and I guessed at my mom's password. I am hoping this is the Manny she always talks to. Well I have bad news, my mom Sandy Barragan passed away tonight. Sunday about 5 pm March 1. She wanted me to make sure that all her friends were informed. She loved all of you very much and talked about everyone all the time. When she was feeling bad or sick or just unhappy everyone on here made her feel better and I thank you for it. She often told me a little about all of you and how much you all helped her through. Just keep her in your prayers."

I am speechless and so very sad with this news. After an episode back in December, during which she ended in the hospital, she came back full of energy and back to her own self: you can see on her profile page she was active as of yesterday helping everyone out.

We learned to love you, Saundra! You will always live in our hearts. Please pray for us from wherever you are now.

Goosebumps.

Again, thank you for sending the flowers.

Not surprising at all that Sandy would have such a lovely daughter.

I read everyone's thoughts & the posts of Saundra's words & keep crying.
Saundra must have been a wonderful human being, though I didn't have the chance to meet her. I'm sure she will be missed by all who knew her. I'll keep her daughter and family in my prayers and in my heart.
Here's a short memorial video I just finished with the help of the Content Creation team:
Thank you, Manny. This sorrow is such a deep one.........
Oh Manny....that was SO beautiful! How very thoughtful of you....thank you!
what a beautiful tribute ...thank you Team .
This is a wonderful video! Saundra was such a fantastic person, just from her photos you can tell that she lit up the room when she walked in. I'll be thinking of her and her family.
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I lost my Mom in1989. You both look so beautifuland content, it is wonderful. I love to do crafts. I love to give to people. I know about asking for personel info here, but I would really like to have your PO Box #, something has inspired me to do something very special for you. I am not a freak,or a stalker, or any other type of bad or fixated person. I am a Christian And I love to give to others. Luke 6:38 Live~LOVE~ Laugh!
