Wanda:

This was taken just 6 weeks before he passed away. The first thing that struck me is that he looked well and not over weight but the thing that I noticed the most is that wonderful smile when during this song he looks over to his left. Wonderful and heartbreaking at the same time.

Yes, he had days of being pretty even in weight, then he'd work a few shows and blow up like a blimp and it was fluid retention. His liver and kidneys were failing him and the steroid drugs for his colon was causing havac there too. He hated it-but wasn't much he could do-he had to work, had to get on that stage-Col. T. made sure of that in no uncertain terms. He didn't care what had to be done, that man had to be on that stage! And he walked out expecting his word to be kept. It was to the best of everyone's abilities and poor Elvis, was like a puppet on a string as he put it himself. That he could pull himself together and go up there and do it was in it's self an act of God's kindness to his son Elvis. I believe and so did Elvis, that it was God who gave him the strength and the will to do it...he had to do it he said, there was something he had to do-with the money, which he didn't get all that much for himself but debts had to be paid. And so he did it. right to the end. He was handsome, they tried to destroy him, they tried to make him ugly and to appear weak and broken, but he still out shone them all, and always will. Lisa Marie knew her daddy and she said it best-"not in my lifetime"! Mine either! wjh

Mine either. I appreciate all of you and this site so much. I see Elvis in a different way because of all of you and your stories, thoughts, and insights, and that different way is only better and better all the time. I thank God on a regular basis for Elvis and the love and joy and happiness and inspiration he has brought to me. Thanks to God for all of you as well. Very Happy

Elvis brought all of us together into one very special forum which, very special thanks to Maia and Wanda, I feel and believe Elvis would be so very happy and proud of!

His group of Blue Rose ladies who, with treasured memories and love, are gathered together from all parts of the world, being part of a special spiritual sanctuary, an internet forum, where we can be as part of one family - great, cool and so very wonderful!!
