As a little girl, I can still remember the trips to the coast to see Helen, the times she fixed my hair, the hugs, the love, the thoughts we shared through my divorce, encouraging me while in college to reach my goals, and always know she was there even if we could not be together. I know nothing really has changed - she is still here in spirit and I know she was watching as I received by degree. She will be missed greatly. Till I see you again Sister.
Will be keeping you in our prayers.

I never had the honor of meeting Mary, but if she was anything like her wonderful daughter, she was truly a special person. My thoughts are with her family in this very sad time. Remember though that death it is not the end it is just the beginning, she will be with you always.

I remember when I was a little girl,Helen wrote a little book about me. It was called " The Book About Jennifer" I wish I still had the book. Helen was living on 13th st in Grover City, I remember going to her house to visit her and she always had fun stuff for me to do. Helen also helped pierce my ears, when I was a little girl. Helen you will be missed. Love you Cousin til we meet again.

Cynthia, Frank Franco; Monge / Sanchez family; And all related family and friends. There are no words to express our deepest sympathy of another great loss. Mary Helen Monge-Franco had a unique character; charismatic; heart of gold; a wonderful lady, a beauty many of us lack. I hope we can learn from Mary Helen message... "We need to get together, and love each other, be there for each other, help each other, lend a helping hand. Come on People, that's the way it should be, feed those in need”. To hear her karaoke recorded voice message¸ puts our life into perspective. I know it made me think. We will truly miss our cousin Mary Helen R.I.P.

Love, and respect to our family
