it's such a shame she passed at such a young age. I feel if she had been alive, Elvis would not have gone down the destructive path he chose. He missed her terribly. At least they are together now.

Anyone who really loves Elvis has to love Vernon and Gladys as well (wouldn't have him without them)
Everybody was so mindful then, respectful of ‘yes mam & yes sir’ that it was easy to carry on in simple conversations-. ...nobody putting on airs but being happy just to talk. ..a lovely time in our history and I sure do miss them days-

You know that Gladys and Vernon were so proud of Elvis. A couple of years later Gladys told several people that she wished they were poor again because Elvis was always gone and she missed him so much as I know that Elvis missed his Momma but he was serious about his career and wanted to make money to take care of his parents.

Well, we can all see now where Elvis got his famous line at when Vernon and Gladys say "Thank you, thank you very much!" in harmony! :)
This is the first time I have heard his mother’s voice! Beautiful people. So polite in the south + Life is so short too. 23 years later all three of them would have passed away. Elvis packed a lot into the 21 years more he had.
His mother sound like a sweet, down to earth lady!! He truly loved his parents a lot!!

The beautiful humble family but allways passed the way so yuong.Gladys, Elvis and Vernon so sad. God bless all togheter in heaven with Elvis.
Элвис хоть и вырос в бедной семье, но он был счастлив, потому что его родители окружили своего сына любовью и заботой, а он как любящий сын сделал все для папы и мамы чтобы они жили в достатке.
What a beautiful voice gladys had. She sounds very humble. Something about it touched me.
Beautiful To Hear This Beautiful Parents Tribute To Their Great Son . I Think They Love Over Everything . Beautiful Memories Beautiful Couple So Simple And So Sweet ❤️
Gladys had a beautiful Southern charm voice and always was nice to Elvis' fans often inviting them home from the grocery store to get an autograph from Elvis when they lived on Audubon Drive.

You just.can't get enough of him even though he left us way to soon. But he accomplished so much in his short life. Memories he made for us long after he had to go away.

Structure is what u see 1st. Not details.. From a far u recognize structure. You can see that clearly. Tracing it and you see he is more dad from a far.
