Myrna Smith Funeral Arrangements Still Being Planned

Dear All:

This is a difficult Email to send, but it is what is best for Myrna.  I think many of you already know, but Myrna passed approx. 1:45 PM Pacific (California) time Dec, 24.  She is now with the Lord & she is again well & singing.  I'm sorry I didn't get this out sooner.

I know the plans are for a cremation.  My guess is the urn with Myrna's ashes will be taken back to her house & put on the mantel next to those of her mother (this is an assumption on my part).  When I get information, I will pass it along.  Myrna's brother (John) has said he does not have any money to take care of final arrangements.  We currently have $1,099 in Myrna's account that has been donated by fans &, I believe, that may be just enough for cremation.  Please do not send any more donations at this time.  We need to first find out what is needed.

All of you are Myrna's true family.  You are the ones who stepped forward to help Myrna when she needed help.  Myrna knew that you loved her & cared about her, & she truly loved you for it.

Carole

    To all the fans of my mother Myrna Smith,

    I wanted to give you all a great big THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all that you did for my mother. Not only when she was ill, but all the support you gave her during the years of touring, as well as, listening and purchasing her music. Many of you followed her closely and she loved you for that.

    My mother was a wonderful lady. My life with her will never be forgotten. I have watched my mom from day one of her time with Elvis and the people from Graceland, showing many people what a great entertainer should project. My mom, although had friends by her side all the way to the end, always understood our special relationship. I will always love and respect my mother for who she is and what she became. Her grandson had the opportunity to sit with his Grandmother long before she became too ill and shared with her his aspirations to follow her entertainment footsteps.

    Thank you all for the respect while the family was grieving and we appreciate your well wishes and condolences. I have included the memorial information below and would love to hear from you or see you there.

    For people who cannot make it to the memorial, we will be taking all emails and posting them at the memorial for people to read. We may even read a few there.


    Sincerely,

    Martin Smith

Elvis Presley's Forgotten Children - The National Enquirer 2 year worldwide investigation

Image
The National Enquirer reported on January 8th that Elvis Presley "supposedly" fathered SEVEN children aside from his daughter, Lisa Marie Presley now 47. The gossip magazine claims they have conducted an exhaustive two-year worldwide investigation into Elvis’ missing family. And the astonishing findings have been verified by DNA tests, birth certificates, personal correspondence, check receipts and witness testimony! The Enquirer goes on to "supposedly" reveals the names and details of Elvis’ lost boys and girls. 1987 book  In MY PERSONAL OPINION, with over 26 years in the Elvis World, I personally DO NOT believe any of this! It's laughable.There are some names in this "bombshell" report that many long time fans will recognize from past scandals. Remember Lucy de Barbin and her daughter Desiree ? They published the book, Are You Lonesome Tonight? in 1987. Here's what the Enquirer says about this supposed "love child",

Did Linda Thompson cheat on Elvis Presley with his own band member?

Image
Linda Thompson acknowledges that she was fully aware Elvis Presley was seeing other women during their time together. For years, there has been talk that Linda, herself stepped out on Elvis with his own band member. In her book, A Little Thing Called Life, Linda dances around the subject quite cleverly. She acknowledges being sick and tired of watching Elvis sleep all day and the cheating. She talks about one day she finally left Elvis sleeping and went out during the day. It was then that she developed a friendship with Elvis' keyboard player, David Briggs. Linda admits to being attracted to David. But she says they did NOT start dating until AFTER Elvis and her relationship ended. Although through the years, others have said differently including David Briggs. Including Larry Geller catching the couple having a candle light dinner at 3 AM! David Briggs gave an interview to Alanna Nash and said he never thought Elvis would let a woman come between them. Charming, hu
