On June 13, 2025, our family lost Marie Helen Montano, a beloved mother, sister, and friend. Marie faced incredible challenges throughout her life, including an autoimmune disease and two liver transplants, yet she remained strong and positive for her two beautiful daughters, Sandra and Sara. She was a loving sister to Maria, Karina, and Andrea, and a devoted sister to Anthony and Sebastian. Marie was also a cherished cousin to Samuel and Alicia. Her resilience and warmth touched everyone who knew her, and her strength inspired her family to keep going, no matter the obstacles.

Her sudden passing has left her family heartbroken and struggling to cope with the loss. As they try to stay strong for Sandra and Sara, they are also faced with unexpected funeral and cremation expenses. The family is deeply saddened and doing their best to support each other during this difficult time. Any support will help cover the costs of Marie’s funeral services and cremation, and will provide some relief as her daughters and loved ones navigate this painful chapter. Your kindness and generosity mean so much to the family as they honor Marie’s memory and legacy.
