It's been a week since Priscilla Presley lost her daughter Lisa Marie to a fatal cardiac arrest, and as she put the late singer to rest, the actress shed tears. The 77-year-old read a poem titled Old Soul by one of her granddaughters.

Lisa Marie died in the hospital after suffering a heart attack post-New Year's celebration in her L.A. home. The family signed a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), so the medics didn't revive her when the singer suffered a second arrest in the hospital.
They believe she's now resting after struggling in the last days of her life. Lisa Marie died at 54.
