Elvis - A Lighted Candle

by **Sarena** on Sat Aug 26, 2006 5:23 am

I would like to recommend the book ELVIS - MEMORIES BEYOND GRACELAND GATES by Mary Jenkins, who was cook and maid in Grace land for many many years even after Elvis' passing.

The book is written in a simple and honest way and once more the personal side of Elvis comes forth in a very touchingly.

There are also many photos.

Mary writes on the first page:

This book is dedicated
to

Lisa Marie Presley

In living memory of her father,
the best friend I've ever had.

DEAREST MARY, JAN, 22,88

I LOVE YOU

I MISS YOU

AND I WILL BE THERE SOON.......

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I THINK OF YOU EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT THERE......

YOU ARE ALL A BIG AND SPECIAL PART OF MY LIFE.......

LOVE ALWAYS

LISA

Thank you, Christine.

Lisa's words are very touching and also the fact that the book was dedicated to her.

"my boy my boy"(to quote a certain special someone

oh, who would that be then? No, just kidding of course!

I honestly believe that Elvis is the one person about whose person THE VERY MOST BOOKS have been and still will be written! There seems to be no end! And I very much am happy that so many years after his passing so many GOOD books are being published!!!!

This is a thought I often have, Sarena.

How is it possible that a single man attracts so much interest and curiosity in so many levels? (Probably, it is the theme of some of those books. ) :roll:

It's just brilliant isn't it? Agree, Sarena and Amanda, very much so!
