Priscilla read out a poem written by one of Lisa Marie's daughters for their late mom, expressing their love for their mom.

"I'm going to read something that my granddaughter wrote, for all of you, the star shared while proceeding to read from her phone. And this says it all. I have no idea how to put my mother into words. The truth is, there are too many. Lisa Marie Presley was an icon, a role model, a superhero to people all over the world. But mama was my icon, my role model, my superhero, in much more ways than one."

'The Old Soul'

The poem "The Old Soul" shares the life and times of the star. It described her as delicate but strong, and always knew she wouldn't be around for a long time

"In 1968 she entered our world, born fragile, tired, yet strong. She was delicate, but was filled with life. She always knew she wouldn't be here too long. Childhood passes by with a glimpse of her green eye. She then grew a family of her own. Then came her second child, leading her to suspicion. Could this be the angel who takes me home?"

Finally At Rest

The poem continued, acknowledging that Lisa Marie is finally at peace and resting, but nevertheless, she is really missed.

"Now she is home where she always belonged, but my heart is missing her love. She knew that I loved her. I fear I'll never touch her. But the old soul is always with me. She doesn't drift above."
