IN LOVING MEMORY OF...

1st THINGS FIRST HAPPY B-DAY! OLGA "JUJU BEE" MONTANO (R.I.P.).

14 YEARS LATER EYE STILL WONDER IF EYE SHOULD BE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU???...YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PICK ME UP THAT NIGHT (ON 11/28/98), BY CHANCE EYE DECIDED TO WATCH THE NEWS WHILE WAITING FOR YOU TO COME THROUGH AND PICK ME UP!!!, THE WEATHER WAS BAD AND THEN EYE HEARD THEM SAY YOUR NAME WHEN THEY HAD REPORTED A FATAL CAR CRASH ON THE FREEWAY. EYE WENT BY YOUR HOUSE THAT SAME NIGHT BUT WAS SCARED TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR, INSTEAD EYE WENT OVER WITH MY MOMS THE NEXT MORNING AND WHEN EYE KNOCKED ON THE DOOR YOUR FATHER OPENED THE DOOR, HE INVITED ME IN AND DID NOT SAY MUCH AS EYE WALKED IN YOUR HOUSE. ONE OF THE WORST FEELINGS IN THE WORLD WAS THE "EMPTINESS" EYE FELT FOR DAYS/MONTHS/YEARS, LOSING SOMEONE AS ORIGINAL AND UNIQUE AS YOU HURT ALOT, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF MY MOST COLORFULL AND DEAREST FREINDS EYE HAD THE HONOR OF MEETING IN THIS WORLD. THANK YOU FOR LOVING AND RESPECTING MY ARTWORK AS MUCH AS YOU DID (EYE INCLUDED THE NUMBER 21 IN THAT GIANT GREEN POSTER BOARD PROJECT THAT YOU NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO SEE FINISHED IN 1998). WE SHARED GOOD MUSIC AND EYEDEAS ON BUILDING PYRAMIDS TOGETHER...YOU BEING A FASHION DESIGNER AND ME A "SOCALLED" ARTIST, WOULD HAVE BEEN MONEY IN THE BANK, YOU HAD JUST TURNED 21.....GONE TO SOON!!!. EYE KNOW YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN FROM THE HEAVENS ASKING WHY IS MY ART STILL NOT OUT THERE!???, WELL YOU KNOW WHY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING ME TO GO SEE "BJORK" IN 1997!!!, YOU LIVE THROUGH HER MUSIC AND WE WILL ALWAYS BE BJORK'S BIGGEST FANS.
