Elvis - A Lighted Candle

[Rainbow Light]

Realised that I had posted within the Wanda June Hill 'Conversations and Memories' section so please note I have moved all the posts from myself and others into here, sorry but am trying to keep this part clear for copying across other parts of Wanda's posts and threads.

Am sorry you're not able to copy anything Alna! Word still not working how I would like it, maybe an older program than Amanda's version as didn't work when I tried yesterday. But if I can something sorted out, Alna, will email over to you when I've copied some more over ok?

Thanks for putting that back up here-I recalled too, that among those flowers were "weeds" and they were blooming just as pretty and singing too, I guess. But all plants are really weeds according to books-some just more beneficial than others. Some real poison ones have the most beautiful blooms! I remember well the scent of those many flowers-it wasn't overpowering but was the old fashioned way roses smelled before they became so "specialized" etc;. wjh

Today, 30 years ago, Elvis gave his last performance, took his last bow, said Adios, till we meet again. And just about 8 weeks later he left everything behind except the deep abiding love in his heart and went to meet the Lord he so revered and trusted with the faith of a child.

He wasn't feeling well that trip, was all he could do to get out there, but said once he was on the stage, everything was okay and he felt better. He said, "It's the folks out there, they fill me up." He meant with their love and delight in seeing him.
I spoke with Suzy last night having finally caught her in her room as she was getting ready for bed! She was very "alive" sounding and thinking good-remembering the past and she said she had spoken with Elvis in July, that he told her he was scared sometimes and was crying because he didn't know what to do- she had told me this story before on a couple of occasions-shortly after his death when she wasn't forgetting things and a gain a few times but this time she finished "his" sentence. He was worried and didn't know what to do about the book coming out and what all it might have in it. He was afraid his fans would think he was "awful" and afraid that they wouldn't understand what was going on in his life, how he had been emotionally distrought over the divorce, his health and even his career. She said she told him he would always prevail, that he should not worry as he had led an extraordinary life, he had stood tall and remained a good example publiclly, he had been charitable beyond his means at times and he had refrained from reckless abandon in his personal life. He had shown everyone how to be caring, to love openly and without expecting anything in return. He had turned the other cheek when he could have done otherwise and he had forgiven even those who betrayed him, accused him and slandered him, including the "marksmen reporters". She said he cried softly, thanked her for reminding him, for thinking he was so "pure of spirit and body" and that he appreciated her words, he would hold them close to his heart, take them out when he needed to feel better. She said he told her that he only knew of a few "good women like her, and his momma was one of them". He said "Thank you baby," before he said bye-bye. Later he would call again, speak to her husband briefly, then to her and she felt he was telling them good bye as when he was going to hang up he said, "I love you, thank you. Good bye friends". She didn't hear from him again and he was gone within days of that last call. She thought he was possibly close by but wasn't sure when that call was made. He had Lisa with him. wjh

Your words fill me with emotion, Wanda. Poor guy, how hard it must have been for him. At least he had you and Suzy and a few others with whom to share his worries and sorrows.

(Sue, if I'm not supposed to post here, I understand if you have to delete this post. It was just hard for me to withhold comment)

Everything you said, Wanda, is so very moving and touching specially after watching some footage from a 21st June 77 concert last night, but so glad all of you were around Elvis. Such a sweet beautiful, courageous soul to go out there on that stage but truly heartbreaking to watch too!
