Vernon Presley after Elvis died

[wild4elvis1962]

Aunt Delta Mae Biggs Is Dead....she Died Not Long After Vernon.

[riley]

Quite some trailers in the back of Graceland.

I don't think anyone exactly knows who lived in them and in which period they did.

I think it quite changed a lot, depending on several situations.

Patsy had her own house with her husband not that far off.

While Elvis was alive, I think the Presley and Smith family was all kept together in some way but it all changed .

It looks like Lisa nor Priscilla still have anything to do with them anymore.

That always puzzles me till today.

Also his former friends don't have any contact with them anymore except Schilling and obvious in the dvd EBTP also Patsy Presley.

And I'm even not sure about Joe Esposito, or is former wife Joanne who was Cilla's best friend at the time.

It is so unusual to me. Billy Smith was very good to him in those last months they were real close and he is also ignored by them.

WHY???


Is it because they think themselves to good or any other reasons


I'll share the pic of Vernon in his hospital bed with you in my next post.

vernon's grave just after the funeral

Riley, I've never seen that picture before. Thanks for posting it. Vernon looks like he lost a considerable amount of weight before he died.

Aunt Delta Mae Biggs Is Dead....she Died Not Long After Vernon.

As I already stated in an earlier post:

Delta Mae Biggs Presley passed away on June 29, 1993...nearly fourteen years after Vernon Presley.

this is total bunk about priscilla demanding vernon to sighn the rights over to her and the bank, ELVIS left a provision in his will that VERNON assume control over his estae and become executor of E.P.E. Also a provision was made that lisa would assume all assetts control afetr vernons death or her 18 th birthday. VERNON relinquished all control to PRISCILLA 2 months before his death, VERNON was really close to priscilla /vice versa, he had alot of respect for her, as this did not go to probate.

[Tony Trout]

Actually, Vernon fought tooth and nail against Priscilla being executor of Elvis's estate. He never had any intention of her having control of Graceland. Here's a quote from
Marty Lacker from "Elvis Aaron Presley: Revelations From The Memphis Mafia":

"On June 26, 1979--Colone's seventieth birthday--Vernon died of heart failure at sixty-three.. They buried him in the Meditation Garden, next to Elvis. Then the next year, Grandma died at eighty-six. And they buried her on the other side of Elvis

Right after Elvis died, Priscilla tried to get into acting, and for quite a while, she didn't have mushc success. So a year before Vernon died, she began maneuvering to gain control of the estate.

In early 1978, Priscilla and her sister, Michelle, stopped in to see us in California. They were on their way to the La Costa Spa in San Diego. Id' call Priscilla from time to time and say, "Anytime you need me to do something for you or Lisa, feel free to call me." I did it for Elvis, really. But she would always say, "Oh, thank you. Thank you."

Vernon was still alive, and he was the executor of the estate. And Priscilla sat there and whined to me that Vernon wouldn't name her as his successor. She said she wanted to be sure that Lisa Marie was protected. But that was only half the truth. Priscilla wanted control of the estate for her own sake.

She said, "Marty, what am I going to do? I keep pleading with him, but he won't do it." I said, "Priscilla, you've got to find a way to convince him that you don't want it for any other reason than to look out for Lisa."

Elvis's will said that if Vernon died without naming somebody, the National Bank Of Commerce in Memphis would become the executor and/or trustee. So Priscilla was desperate.

During that visit, she told me her father wanted to buy a liquor store in northern California. And she said she had asked Elvis if he would give her father $100,000.00. I'll never forget this. She said, "Elvis was going to do it, but then he up and died." Just like that. "And there went my father's liquor store because Vernon won't honor what Elvis said he'd do." But that's Little Miss Goody Two-shoes for you.

The fact is, she aced her way into being an executor, even though she wasn't Elvis's widow and she wasn't in his will. Elvis had no intention of Priscilla running the estate."

So there you have it...little Prissy lied her way into gaining control of Graceland....

Don't know where you got that info from, but Vernon got more people involved in it than just Priscilla to keep an eye on her. He knew what she was like, and knew why his son had left NO provisions for her in HIS will.

Speaks volumes really.

That's correct....Vernon definitely knew what Priscilla was like and he fought like Hell (unsuccessfully) to keep her from gaining control of Elvis's estate.

"Amen" "03" and Tony Trout !!!!! Dovey

Double Amen!! It couldn't have been any other way.....

again who cares what MARTY says he wasn't there for over 10 years, the transcripts from probate court clearly state that vernon gave control to PRISCILLA 2 months before his death, i believe robin rossanne still has these avilable to read, i know that MARIA COLUMBUS has them for sure, get your facts straight before posting.

I'm not going to argue...I'll just say again that neither Vernon nor Elvis had any intention whatsoever of little miss Prissy running Graceland....ever!! The fact of the matter is that she lied her way into becoming executor of the estate and seized the opportunity.

[sexxxy2you]

I had rather have had Priscilla and Lisa (A Presley)to have run it than The city of Memphis whom have offered to buy the estate several times.

I'm with you on that. IMO Memphis, doesn't even do a great job of running Memphis .

Vernon signed it over to not just Priscilla if you care to read those transcripts. You may also care to read Elvis's will and note he left Priscilla absoloutely nothing.

If Vernon had so much trust in her, it boggles the mind why he got the bank and the accountant involved as well as Priscilla to hold it in trust until Lisa was old enough.

Both Elvis and Mr.Presley's actions speak for themselves.

That goes both ways , if he had so little trust in her as several of you claim, why'd he appoint her in there at all? He didn't have to. He could have chosen anyone. Any stranger, any realitive, He could have opened the phone book closed his eyes pointed to a Trust attorney set the terms himself and appointed them, but instead He named her.

I don't wish my ex wife harm or carry any lasting bad feelings but If I die tommorow she won't be left a dime either, it'll all be left to my son. Thats really not that uncommon a situation, most people leave their estate to their kids if they aren't married.

True! I just got back from there and that city is a mess! Politicians are all corrupt there and were in the news for taking payoffs while I was there. It's a shame about Memphis , so much history. Blues, rock and roll, jazz, cotton, Mississippi River, civil rights, the hub of the Mid- South. It could be made into an awesome tourist destination and beautiful historic city. Instead it's like a shiny red apple with a rotten core. The more you explore old Memphis the worse it gets. Get outside Memphis and it's nice. I hate to see it get that way. So many places I grew up with are gone or ruined.

That's what Elvis did. He left Cilla nothing. Why did Vernon appoint Priscilla? Well only Vernon can answer that question. Maybe it was because she is Lisa's mother, maybe he didn't wish to see the estate in the hands of just the bank and acountant. One thing's for sure, he didn't trust her enough to give her sole control.
