I discovered a few years back that Becky was inspired by her grandmother NOT her mother (the hippie thing and the 'gear'). Well when it came time for me to do the hippie tat, I wanted it colored in (Becky drew it in black and white). Sera picked out a few colors for certain things but the shirt was a TOTAL hippie splash of colors here and there. When I learned that her grandmother influenced Becky, she took me to her closet and showed me some old clothes that she still had there. OH MY GOD!!! It was as if Becky had drew that pic modeled after what she saw in there. I asked her questions about 'the colors' back then, what would look cool, what do you think, etc. She showed me some purples and ummmm... DONE! Every time I look at my hippie chick tat and see the colors in the shirt I'll be reminded of that day.

My whole family will miss the loss of my Great Grandmother Patricia R. Lewis. I was close to her, especially when I lived with her in our old house. We would have our arguments like normal family members do, but both of us knew how much we loved the other. I loved my Great Grandma (though I called her Grandma) alot more that I think she knew. I will miss her and how good she was to me. We had A LOT of good, fun, and sometimes sad memories. She WILL be missed. I hope heaven is just as good as she hoped, if not better.
