[spanky]

It was done by Austin at Art Addiction in Prairieville.

I will never forget the day the property owners in front of my parents house cut down my moms sunflowers that were on the property line. She broke down like I'd never seen before.

My dad drove trucks his entire life. His call tag was "Free Bird."

My mom absolutely loved hummingbirds. Always had feeders as long as I could remember. On the day that we returned from my dads wake, my parents magnolia tree had bloomed one lone flower. For the first time ever.

My dad passed away in 2003 after a very short bout wit non-hodgkins lymphoma.
My mom passed away in 2010 after a 6 month battle with pacreatic cancer.

That's some beautiful traditional work, looks incredible, and the story behind it makes the artwork so much more meaningful. Wear it with pride.

I can appreciate what you have done. I had one done when my dad died and waiting for the opportunity to do one for my mom.
He did good work on yours.
What a great way to remember them.

I want one to honor my Dad. Im just afraid of needles. Dont think I could sit there and get drilled on. It looks awesome though

I have a cross on my chest that I put for my dad 5 years ago, and still can't decide how to finish it.

Looks good man

Nice! I think they would be proud,its always nice to talk with or meet people who love their parents and uphold them in special ways. RIGHT ON.

I feel you Spanky. The crusader cross I have is after my Dad died in April. He was a fervent believer that there would be a 2nd crusade to reclaim lost Christianity. Nice memorial you have.
