This year, Isabel Hernandez’s theme is the “Cycle of Life.” A tribute to more than 400 people and pets who once called Pilsen home.
“There’s a phrase that says that people die when they are forgotten … so they are always going to live in our hearts,” said Isabel Hernandez.“Even if I spend a certain amount of money, this is my way of giving back to the community. To share something that I like to do and I can do it for them and not just me. I’m happy with it,” she said.
“People think this is something evil because we are remembering the dead. No, this is celebrating the life of the people who are no longer with us,” Hernandez said. “When we make our altars with all the family members that died, it’s also to teach other generations about people they have never met … This is our history and sometimes we find something out in common in our relatives.”
