Erma was the mother to Shelly Abeyta and Kimberly Abeyta and grandmother to Devan Abeyta-Cassel.
We used to celebrate everything with anything being an excuse to come together, listen to music and dance.
In addition, my family always made an effort to keep in touch with relatives back home even before Facebook existed.
One of my first jobs was working the front desk for a construction company.
Almost immediately, I knew I had made the right choice.
So, this year, I plan to observe National Hispanic Heritage Month the same way I always do every year by spending time with my family and enjoying some good food.
