Riley Keough paid a moving tribute to her mother during an open memorial ceremony hosted by Lisa Marie Presley on Sunday at Elvis Presley’s Graceland home in Memphis, Tennessee.
Riley fondly recalled all the special moments she had shared with her mother over 33 years, with her husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, standing beside her. She sweetly expressed how she would never forget her mother’s love and care for her since she was a baby, from giving her baths to always embracing her with warmth.
As Priscilla Presley and other family members sat in the front row, Riley couldn’t help but express how fortunate she was to have had such an incredible mother figure. Everyone present felt immense respect and admiration for this strong woman who had left an indelible mark on all who loved her.
Keough reflected on her relationship with her mother, Lisa Marie, in a heartwarming post shared on Friday. She expressed her gratitude for her mother’s notes, lunchbox surprises, and the unconditional love that was always present.
Keough was inspired by her mother’s hard work and dedication as a child, instilling a strong sense of inner courage, light-hearted humor, good manners, and tenacity. Lisa Marie, according to Keough, gave her the gifts of heart, courage, spirit, and tenacity, which she has carried with her throughout her life.
Keough also expressed gratitude for having such a loving mother who demonstrated that love is essential in the world. She also regretted not telling her mother how much she was loved while they were together. A black-and-white photo of Keough and Lisa Marie when they were younger accompanied the tribute.
Lisa Marie Presley, an actress and entrepreneur, died on January 12th, at 54, after being taken to a hospital in Los Angeles for a possible heart attack. Riley and Finley Lockwood, both 14 years old, and Harper Lockwood, as well as her beloved grandchild, are among her four children. Benjamin Keough, her son, committed suicide in 2020 at 27.
According to websites such as Variety, this upcoming show promises to be one of the most exciting projects of all time, with high expectations from fans worldwide.
