Don't know about anyone else, but i would love to wear a good jumpsuit, i think it would make you feel good

[Cherokee]

If I'd ever put on a jumpsuit, I think the jumpsuit would end up feeling embarrassed

Sorry for the delay, but I was gone for the weekend. Cherokee to answer you question: What made me become a fan. My brother played alp of Elvis and when I heard Elvis it was as if lightning stroke me. I was kinda hypnotized. I wanted to know all about that guy, that day. The day after I heard on the news that Elvis had pasted away. Ohh brother! At first I couldn't believe it, but then I realised it was true and cried my eyes out. My mum asked me what was wrong and I told her the news about Elvis death. She acted very cool and I got soooo angry. Lol. Even thou I hardly knew Elvis then. I cried all day (even at school.) It was as if I had lost a soul-mate. (It may sound strange but from the first time on that I heard Elvis it was as if I'd known him all my life.) I could see and feel the lonelyness and sadness, even when he smiled. In 1994 I lost my mum and last year a brother (due to cancer) Elvis helps me to bare the pain that still is inside of me.



Be safe and take care,

I know what you mean Christel, I really do.

[Cherokee]

Thanks for the history on how you became a fan, Christel, very interesting.
And yes, Elvis' voice has that effect on people

I lost a good friend to cancer yesterday, and found myself turning to, especially his gospel, songs throughout the entire sad period for comfort.

[P.S. Annie]

I'm sorry to hear that Cherokee, I wish you all the strength you need. I've lost a friend two years ago to cancer and my mother-in-law has not much time left. It is a horrible desease. It's good we have Elvis his music to comfort.

I'm sorry to hear that Cherokee, I wish you all the strength you need. I've lost a friend two years ago to cancer and my mother-in-law has not much time left. It is a horrible desease. It's good we have Elvis his music to comfort.

Thank you, P.S. Annie.

I'm so sorry to hear about your experiences with this horrible disease around you. I'll be keeping your mother-in-law in my thoughts.
I lost a cousin to Alzheimer's in April, another cruel and horrible disease

My friend and I also used to work together until she had to quit in early May, which is when she found out. It all happened so fast I still can't wrap my brain around it. We were all walking around like zombies today at the office
It's at times like these when Elvis' music feels like he's right there with you, weird, but true. There's an Elvis song for every occassion....

[P.S. Annie]

Thanks Cherokee.

And your right about E!'s music

[TCE]

I'm sorry to hear this sad news Cherokee. I whish you much strength and I hope you can find the strength In Elvis songs and in the thought that you're not alone in here. We'll be there for ya. This counts for P.S.Annie too. I know how hard it is to see some one slip away. Remember one thing: when the going gets tough, the tough get going. This always helps me.


Be safe and take care,


Christel (TCE)

[P.S. Annie]

Thanks TCE, that is good to know.

[Lonniebealestreet]

Cherokee, so sorry to hear about your friend.

I bet that a lot of those songs are indeed comforting at a time like this. If We Never Meet Again certainly comes to mind.

Take care.

[Cherokee]

Thanks all, for your kind words of support

Her other good friend from work and myself will say something at her funeral on Thursday.
It's going to be the first time in my life that I will speak at a funeral and although I really
want to do this in her honor, I'm already wrecked with nerves

Please send me positive thoughts coming Thursday!

[P.S. Annie]

We will send you positive thoughts. I know for sure you will do a great job. And it doesn't matter if your nervous, I think it is great that your doing this for her. If you keep her in mind then what you do comes from the heart and that can never be wrong.
