      I am so touched that her husband read this for her. When my husband passed, I had written him a letter like this. Thanking him for all that he had done for me, especially showing me what "real love" was all about. It was read at his memorial service, after the obituary that I had written for him. I, as his widow, could not read it aloud (too heartbroken 💔) so, the pastor read it for me. Riley's husband reading this to Lisa Marie, her mom, for her, brought back all those memories. You only get one final time, if you're lucky, to let your loved one know what they meant to you, and what all they brought into your life. R.I.P., Lisa Marie....take your brand new golden wings and fly high...rest easy....your work here, on Earth is done...💔🕊️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

      I don't think that Lisa Marie was close to her mother Priscilla for quite a few years and they always had a strange relationship as we know Priscilla sent Lisa Marie into the cult and she knew Elvis did not want her anywhere near it
      Yes Lisa Marie was very close to her children and gave them the love that she was deprived of
      And as we know Priscilla did not let her only daughter get cold in her grave until she was in fighting for money and has tried her best to destroy everything that Lisa Marie put in her will and she even let that creep ex Lockwood come to the funeral and she knew Lisa Marie never wanted him near her
