When Lucy Vodden was four years old. she befriended Julian Lennon, the son of the Beatle's John Lennon. One day he drew a picture of her, brought it home and showed it to his father. Julian called it "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds".
John Lennon seized the thought and gave it the titlt to one of the signature songs of the 1967 iconic album "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band." The song was controversial with it's eye opening lyrics and references to the drug LSD.
Ms Vodden, 46, died on September 28, 2009 in a London hospital where she was being treated for lupus.
In recent times, she reconnected with Julian Lennon after losing touch with him for many years. Lennon tried to comfort her with her illness by sending her flowers and text messages.
Although she was identified with the song, Ms Vodden did not like being associated with the drug references behind it.
