About Me:: Grandmother, who is passing the love of Elvis to our generations just as my mom passed it to me. I show my love through my tats, as long as I am alive Elvis will always cross someone's mind when they see them. Some think I am crazy, well so be it, we all have to live and breath what we believe in. Life would be pretty dull if we didn't. And life is way to short to worry about what others think.
I was dx with MS in 2003, so my yearly candlight vigils to Memphis had to stop do to the extreme heat. And it has been rough not being in Memphis during Elvis weeks, after you have gone 15 years straight and suddenly it comes to an end, it hurts. Even worse knowing some of the great friends I gained over those years are now gone. Some who were close to Elvis, like Ira Jones and Mike Mc Gregor. Always looked forward spending time with them. Then their was my adopted family of friends, we would see each other just once a year and then suddenly as each year rolled around I would find that one of them had gone on home. Seemed like there was one every year that I would lose.
Up until now I wrote newsletters for 18 years for a very talented man by the name of Sherman Arnold, 53 years in the business, but now I have switched to an on-line fan club. Thank goodness for the internet, makes life so much easier. And it's free. I have also added him as a member here too......

Memphis 2008

For everyone who can't be in Memphis

The Candles Burn Bright

My candles here will be burning bright,

Even though I’m not in Memphis tonight.

I wish I were there, it’s where I want to be,

But it’s not possible and it’s killing me.

I want to be with friends that I met through the years,

I want to be at Graceland, to shed my tears.

So many years have now passed us by,

And each time I think of you, I still cry.

There is… Continue
