Helen was a great union member when we both worked for HED. She had a very sharp sense of humor. She was a blast to work with at the St. John's Lunch Kitchen. I'm so glad I knew her and send her family and friends my condolences on her loss.

Helen, a true Catholic and follower of our Lord Jesus Christ. She was a kind and thoughtful person. She always treated me and my wife with the utmost respect and kindness. We see many characteristics of her in her son Damian. RIP Ms. Montoya. God rest her soul.
