"She was a person who took care of her family," said Flaz-Burgos' boss, Denise Vasquez.
She loved her job as a home health aide, Vasquez said, and her patients are devastated.
"All of her clients remember her as a lovely person," said Vasquez. "And she built a good relationship with all of them."
Investigators are still piecing together exactly what happened.
The Essex County District Attorney says Flaz-Burgos was last seen on surveillance video making the sign of a cross as she entered Montero's apartment, but was never seen coming out.
Investigators are waiting on the autopsy to determine how she died.
Based on what they learn, prosecutors said Montero will likely face a murder charge.
