Additional Description: “Elvis Aaron Presley, January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977. Son of Vernon Elvis Presley and Gladys Love Presley, father of Lisa Marie Presley. • He was a precious gift from God we cherished and loved dearly. • He had a God-given talent that he shared with the world, and without a doubt, he became most widely acclaimed; capturing the hearts of young and old alike. • He was admired not only as an entertainer, but as the great humanitarian that he was; for his generosity, and his kind feelings for his fellow man. • He revolutionized the field of music and received its highest awards. • He became a living legend in his own time, earning the respect and love of millions. • God saw that he needed some rest and called him home to be with Him. • We miss you, Son and Daddy. I thank God that He gave us you as our son. (TCB logo) —Vernon Presley”
