My mother, Maria (Becky) Montes, married my father, Carlos Montes, in October 14. They had five kids: Henry V. Montes, Vilma G. Montes, Martha L. Montes de De Leon, Maria D. Montes de Rivera and Carlos A. Montes. We all lived in Jamaica, Queens, New York. 

My mom, was a great, strong, beautiful, caring, christian woman, wife, mother, grandmother. She was loved by everyone that came across her path.

Mi, madrecita, era una mujer, esposa, madre, abuela, ella era una gran persona, era fuerte, bella, amorosa y cristiana.  A mi madrecita, todos que llegaron a conocerla la amaron.
