When the member of the Sweet Inspirations Estelle Brown said, 'We were touched by an angel', she meant in the emotional, spiritual, and loving kindness more than any person they ever knew. They know he was human, but who on earth, still to this day can make you feel the way Elvis could? I have seen little kids listen to his music and love his voice, and of course seeing a reactor, a lady from Africa who knew nothing about him, responded to "If I Can Dream'. and said, "This is the most Beautiful Song I have ever heard.", and a couple from a small Island called Alba, off of Scotland first saw Elvis and "If I Can Dream", they both said this is so beautiful, and it makes us think of the great country of America. Elvis is America. He brought people together, to have never toured Europe, he sure is loved and appreciated beyond his history. Thanks joe.🙂
Listen to the very end.Couldn't find where I asked a question.I'll just say a lot of bibles.Did he have a Jehovah witness?Bible and did anybody know if you read the whole bible.
Mitte... Kathy. I got choked up a couple of times at the end as well. I have lost all respect for Priscilla for what she has done to Elvis, Lisa, and now her granddaughter Riley. Thank you, for reading this book and bringing the pages to life. (hugs) Elvis isn't suffering anymore. He went home to be with the only real King.
Really sad ending fantastic book l think she really had a special relationship with Elvis l am glad he had Kathy in his life thanks for sharing this great book with us
"Joe, it's been an honor to have shared all the Readings you presented us with while reading this book! " Thank you for the great respect that you continue to give to Elvis! And thank you for the most awesome songs that you shared with us about Elvis as they touched my heart deeply!" Thank You!
Such a sad powerful ending. It is so sad to hear the truth about his illness and the pain he had to endure. Thank you for doing it while you are not feeling well. I hope people will wake up about Prissy. Elvis singing is pure magic and makes me happy every time I hear him. MITTE Kathy.
Dear Joe such a emotional ending it will never heal , we will never get over the lost of this great sweet talented extraordinary man , and he still feeds our souls every day he was true diamond created by the God and delivered to us from beautiful caring mother gladys we are so fortunate to have him in our lives . I feel so protective and caring for him as all of you there I love him so.God bless his sweet soul ! Amen ! 🙏🙏🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Thank you thank you for reading , Mitte Kathy , such a good emotional friendship soulmate book. You can tell from interviews and or books who really loved Elvis! Elvis could has been ill with an autoimmune disease ( cancer like illness ) . My son was diagnosed with lupus which can affect every organ of the body. Will keep you and your family in my prayers! Thank you for defending Elvis and reading multiple books. You are bringing testimonial information to the light.
MITTE Kathy.Thank you for reading this book out oud. I would have never been able to buy it.Kathy and Elvis were very blessed to be in each other's lives.She !am have been the closest female to Elvis,second only to his mother.I'm sure Vernon and Minnie Mae,and Lisa Marie's lives were never the same after Elvis was gone.In my opinion,NEVER in history has a mortal man since Elvis been mourned by the WORLD.Still loved and mourned to this day.Thank you Dear God for allowing such a man to visit our lives.He was and will remain eternally King of Rock.Elvis never acknowledged being the king of anything. He always gave God the praise and Glory !!
Mtte Cathy 😊 Elvis was a music genius. 47 years after his death, he is still touching peoples souls. I will miss Cathy's story. Thanks for sharing, Joe.
Joe I absolutely loved listening to you read this book and your reactions. Thank you so much! What a great book and one I’ve always wanted to read. Elvis died almost 5 years before I was born and I got hooked on him going through my aunt’s old records. Just visited Graceland with my sister last month for the second time, the first time being 18 years ago. Wish I could visit every year but live in Ireland. No one will ever come close to our Elvis ❤
I couldn't stop crying! Thank God I wasn't working so I could watch everything. My daughter was just 6 months old. The stores were playing his songs, I stayed home as much could. Some friends of mine drove to Memphis from Northern California where I lived. There were suisides everywhere happening due to Elvis death. He had such impact all over the word.
Thank you for reading didn’t want the book to end yet…Priscilla probably had no idea of the connection she had with Elvis..one of a kind encounter for Kathy, love and friendship she never stopped loving him..⚡️#MITTE Kathy
I have followed the whole way through. It has been fun listening and hearing Kathy’s story. Thank you for reading and sharing 😊 ❤. Much appreciated and I’ll be listening to your other playlists and stories 😊😊
Mitte-Kathy Joe, I totally😢 agree when you speak about Elvis’ magnificence. No other can even come close to being the singer and entertainer he was. I went to 2 of his concerts and I was totally and completely mesmerized. I’m not a screamer, lol, but I was in awe the entire time that I watched and listened to him. It’s difficult to put into words the feelings I experienced watching him. He was so passionate and powerful when he sang. Kathy’s last chapter was very sad, but she gave him a beautiful tribute. They had a special love and friendship over the years. I could listen to the last chapter again, though it’s so very sad. I did think it odd that not much was said about Ginger during this time. More than likely, Elvis did have congestive heart failure. It does result in a lot of swelling as the heart has to work so hard. I understand being emotional reading the end of this book. Anyone that loved Elvis would be tearful hearing these words from Kathy. I still get emotional when I listen to him singing. I haven’t watched the Netflix special because of Prissy being in it so much. I saw the one at the movies last year that Steve Binder produced. It was awesome. I wish Elvis would have stayed with Steve Binder. Elvis might have had a different ending.
i understand if there is too much of pri$$y i carnt watch it also. i always think it is a pri$$y promotion. SB was more authentic than most. 2024 who was it that Elvis listend to most ...2024. thats who is to blame for taking Elvis out, in my personal opinion. who had so much to gain
They tried covering up that he fell off the toilet because they didn't want the embarrassment. I remember watching everything on TV, and cried for days and still do. The memories never go away
What I understand is that he'd stood up from the toilet and fell face first. The blood has pooled in his face by the time he was found , and the EMS people thought it was a black guy they were called for. 😢
Thank you Joe for reading all these books...please take some time for yourself to rest and recuperate. Your health is more important than anything. Thank you for all your music I appreciate your songs very much.
My mum remembers the day Elvis died. We lived in London, England (I was 1 year old). There was a terrible storm, I watched Sonny West's recounting of it, he also said it was dreary blustery day, and it wasn't forecasted, it supposed to be a nice day.
My sweet Elvis love you so much 😢❤ you gave us so much ... there will never ever be onether you ❤❤💙💔💘🙏 you went through so much and gave the World you love abd your magical beautiful Voice ❤❤❤😢 love you always and forever my gorgeous handsome charming awesome beautiful Elvis ❤❤❤❤❤😢
I totally agree with you Joe You take care please and I love your two channels this one and Elvis Legends I love them take care and God bless you and your family
Lights switching on and off. Was Elvis for sure. He even said goodbye to me and I didn't even know him personally. ❤ thank you so much for reading het book to us. It helps to get closer to Elvis as if you know him personally a little more. As if i was there to. Thank you. Thank you Kathy. ❤❤❤❤
My cousin dated one of the doctors on duty at Baptist when his body came in. He was doing his internship at the time, and hes now retired. He was unrecognizable as Elvis bc his face was distorted badly. He said that 30 lbs of feces was removed from his body. His colon was completely flaccid from all the narcotics and twisted colon he had. Narcotics constipated badly (I'm a nurse and this is something we have to look for in patients, assessing bowel movements details bc of constipation). Elvis' colon was pretty much non-functional. I have read/heard Billy Smith had to help him with Fleet's enemas and to soak in a warm water tub to try to get him to have a bowel movement. Between the feces removal after death and fluid removal, he was back down to a nice slim size. He really wasn't fat - it was just fluid and feces. There's no telling how much fluid came off him, as well.
Mitte I was home crying my eyes out watching it on Tv 🥲🥲🥲That was a very sad day for us Elvis fans❤We still love him to this day !! God bless Kathy for writing this book and thanks for reading it to us 👏👏👏
I really enjoyed Kathy's book. There were a few things in it that I didn't necessarily agree with but, overall, it was a good thoughtful book. I think she tried to be honest in her perspective. She certainly cleared up some things. Also, I really appreciate how she "presented" Elvis the man and Elvis the entertainer. He was smart, intelligent, thoughtful, insightful, good conversationalist, fun, etc., and even during the more difficult times in his life, he's able to regroup and reassert himself. For me, she gives him much more credibility as a man than how he's presented in Lucy's book of being weak, not in control, dependent, and indecisive. Thank you for reading it. MITTE-Kathy.
Thank you so much for reading this book. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. You brought it to life with Elvis voice. He and Cathy had such a special relationship. I thank God that he gave Cathy to Elvis to have the seven years. He needed a friend like her that really understood him and he 100% trusted. I’m looking forward to listening to the other books. I have read Ginger‘s book that I look forward to listening to it with you and hearing your commentary. The same with Joyce Boaz book. I have been wanting to reread that one to remind me of that point in his history and how it overlays with his relationship with Cathy.Thanks again I look forward to listening to the other books.
Perhaps consider reading the book by June Juanico : In the Twilight of Memory. This book is full of unfulfilled dreams, lovers' lost, and the impetuousness of youth. It also presents a different picture of Elvis. We are filled with sad emotion after reading Kathy’s book. I sincerely suggest we read and understand the young Elvis too. It is beautifully written by June.
Hi Joe ❤ What a beautiful book. So sad but also beautiful at the end. Thank you Kathy for writing this amazing book. If anyone needed proof that Elvis had gotten over prissy and certainly didnt want her looking after his estate, here it is. I want to shout it out to everyone who would listen. Thank you Joe ❤️ Good luck with talking to Dary and please take some time off and rest your lovely voice. ❤❤❤❤❤ MITTE KATHY ❤️
I read about when Elvis sent Ginger home for 4 days from a different perspective. I think it was in Larry's book. Apparently, when Ginger left, Elvis realised he needed someone with him and so asked Kathy if she would stay with him, but as a friend.
I think Kathy was there for elvis when he needed her she was more than just a friend sole mate they had so much in common religion music fun and laughter I don’t think they ever stopped loving each other even though they had there arguments fallouts ect like all of us that have relationships we have good times and bad but still stay together l was chocked at the end just so sad 😢
I agree 100% with you about the Netflix documentary - if we skip the PB's parts (which are just giggles, clichê answers - Jerry Schilling was more authentic than she), it is great. I loved Barbara Eden and Conan O'Brien talking about Elvis's movies and mostly the Comeback Special bits - Elvis really was the best looking man of his time (and all time).
Initially Elvis was kept in the music room when friends and family came to visit. When they had the public viewing, they moved him into the foyer of the home for the public to enter, circle the casket and walk out, rather than traipse through the home.
Joe first of all I hope you will feel better soon ...It's hard for me to type through these tears...it was truly a love story...Thanks for reading it. I just can't believe it's finished...I have to stop writing and try to digest this.. MITTE..Love you and your love for Elvis...TCB/TLC ❤😢❤
Rex Humbard was a Pastor who could heal People! I grew up with Rex on TV for the Shut-in older adults! The Father God had given Rex this spiritual gift of healing! Elvis should of gone to Rex for a healing service! This makes me so sad! MITTE/TCB
Hi, again love Elvis and I'm loving knowing more about him. I can't afford to join but I'd like to go to give super thanks, can someone go through it step by step. Never done it before. Thanks, 😊
Thank you for reading Kathy's book, Joe. I have wanted to read it for years but have never found an affordable copy. I really enjoyed listening to her perspective. #TCB #MITTE
Vernon Presley once said he wanted to keep Priscilla from ever getting her hands on any of Elvis's estate. It's sad that he did not have back up plans after back up plans given the age of Vernon.
Yea Elvis sent Ginger home bcuz she didn't want to go on tour w/him. He told her if u don't go, I'll get somebody else. I personally 🤔 Elvis got engaged w/Ginger to keep her around bcuz his health was deteriorating & he didn't want to be alone. Billy the cuzin said on his utube channel Elvis Fans Matter said Elvis told him he would never go down that road again getting married. Billy said no way Elvis was going to marry Ginger. What a wonderful book! Thk u Joe so much 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. U can't see me but I'm giving u a standing ovation. Boy even being sick u pulled thru & made us all happy even tho I'm sure we all didn't want it to end! Thk u Kathy! She's really the one I wanted Elvis to end up with bcuz they seem to be more, compatible & had so much in common!
I have done tons of research on Elvis and I came across that information of Elvis being in his favorite barber chair where he read his books, it was located in his bathroom.
Was his codeine levels 10 times the therapeutic level? The one medication he's allergic to is the one with the highest levels in his system....hmmm.....was that medication given to him intentionally? Did someone cause his death? That is if I am hearing the levels correctly that were present in his system. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I would hate for that to be the case! Elvis is so amazing and so loved!
It bothers me how so many people report little details differently about Elvis’ passing. Not because the details are important but because it’s hard to know who to trust. Joe Esposito said Elvis had the book clutched in his hands still. In Ginger’s book she stated that the book was not the Face of Jesus (Shroud of Turin book) but a book called ‘Sex and Psychic Energy’ and that it was propped open in his reading chair. Kathy was told it was the Face of Jesus book. I can understand friends wanting to keep the details of Elvis’ death more private. The world didn’t need to know if he had been sitting on the toilet or not, or which book he had been reading. What bothers me is just that people make things up. Just don’t say anything at all if you want to keep Elvis’ love private. But instead they all wrote books with conflicting details.
There's a book called Destined to Die Young that's supposed to make a lot of sense. Another book by Billy Stanley called the Faith of Elvis. Billy had an NDE and saw Elvis in heaven
This book was good and I believe Kathy, its just I feel there was collaborations and there is nothing wrong with that. She did reveal some interesting things that I wasn't aware of. We've been told they all were like family, there were definitely clicks among them, for instance Larry, Charlie and Kathy, then JD, Charlie and Kathy. Possibly the reason why, they were the ones that really loved and cared for Elvis. I was able to keep my emotions up until you lost yours and then I lost mine.
Well that was a good book I wish it didn’t cost so much I would love to have it with my other books. Thank you Joe for reading to us I for one enjoy it. I don’t really read my books because I can’t focus enough to read but listening to you read to me it’s like I’m there with them. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Your fan, Connie MITTE TCB TLC 🎶🤗
I’ve been following along with your reading of Kathy’s book, which I had previously looked for but couldn’t find. At first, I wasn’t going even going to do that, because I questioned her credibility to be objective, since I had heard in an interview that she said that Elvis had died of bone cancer. I figured she just wanted to erase the stigma of drug overdose, or maybe a heart attack brought on by fried banana and peanut butter sandwiches. Then I started looking at photos of him during that final year, where sometimes he’d look pretty normal, or at least not excessively obese, and then a few months later he had ballooned to, reportedly, over 300 pounds. It’s easy to see in those “fat” photos that he was suffering from something that was causing him to retain lots of fluid. Kathy said early in the book that Elvis had told her that he had something that was cancer “like.” Indeed, there are a lot of illnesses where symptoms can be misdiagnosed as cancer, and perhaps were not so easily distinguished by 1970s medical technology. Listening to her story has changed my mind (and your “Elvis voice” makes things more vivid than they otherwise would be). Now I wish she would update and republish it. Anyway, I was skeptical about Kathy, and now I’m not, so I decided to try the Lucy book, even though my initial reaction to the idea of yet another secret child of Elvis was to roll my eyes.
Sam Thompson said Elvis was in the front foyer for fans to walk past coffin. This would easy allow fans in and out front door. Perhaps it was more intimate for family and friends to be with Elvis in the piano room and then moved him gor the fans to file past. Also Joe clearly misled us about Elvis dying in bed. His look gave that away. Elvis arrested when sitting reading in his barber chair. He did not die on the toilet. I believe Elvis had multi organ failure due to his antitrypsn deficiency which explain recurrent chest infections, coronary issues and thrush which was most likely caused by prolonged anti biotic use. I have seen footage of Elvis using asthma puffers pre show to help open his airway and I suspect he had cardiovascular pulmonary overload through no fault of his own. He was not self destructive at all.
When the member of the Sweet Inspirations Estelle Brown said, 'We were touched by an angel', she meant in the emotional, spiritual, and loving kindness more than any person they ever knew. They know he was human, but who on earth, still to this day can make you feel the way Elvis could? I have seen little kids listen to his music and love his voice, and of course seeing a reactor, a lady from Africa who knew nothing about him, responded to "If I Can Dream'. and said, "This is the most Beautiful Song I have ever heard.", and a couple from a small Island called Alba, off of Scotland first saw Elvis and "If I Can Dream", they both said this is so beautiful, and it makes us think of the great country of America. Elvis is America. He brought people together, to have never toured Europe, he sure is loved and appreciated beyond his history. Thanks joe.🙂
Listen to the very end.Couldn't find where I asked a question.I'll just say a lot of bibles.Did he have a Jehovah witness?Bible and did anybody know if you read the whole bible.
Mitte... Kathy. I got choked up a couple of times at the end as well. I have lost all respect for Priscilla for what she has done to Elvis, Lisa, and now her granddaughter Riley. Thank you, for reading this book and bringing the pages to life. (hugs) Elvis isn't suffering anymore. He went home to be with the only real King.
Elvis is, was , and always will be the greatest entertainer of all time.. Nobody has ever came close to and never will come close to him..
Really sad ending fantastic book l think she really had a special relationship with Elvis l am glad he had Kathy in his life thanks for sharing this great book with us
I loved every minute of your reading of Elvis and Kathy. I want to thank you for sharing these wonderful memories of Elvis.
"Joe, it's been an honor to have shared all the Readings you presented us with while reading this book! " Thank you for the great respect that you continue to give to Elvis! And thank you for the most awesome songs that you shared with us about Elvis as they touched my heart deeply!" Thank You!
Thank-you Joe, you bring so much joy with your reading, singing and love for Elvis.
Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you leanne! Much love back!
Such a sad powerful ending. It is so sad to hear the truth about his illness and the pain he had to endure. Thank you for doing it while you are not feeling well. I hope people will wake up about Prissy. Elvis singing is pure magic and makes me happy every time I hear him. MITTE Kathy.
Dear Joe such a emotional ending it will never heal , we will never get over the lost of this great sweet talented extraordinary man , and he still feeds our souls every day he was true diamond created by the God and delivered to us from beautiful caring mother gladys we are so fortunate to have him in our lives . I feel so protective and caring for him as all of you there I love him so.God bless his sweet soul ! Amen ! 🙏🙏🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
This book has been interesting ,loving and heart warming . To have been a friend of Elvis 's was a special gift to all .
Thank you thank you for reading , Mitte Kathy , such a good emotional friendship soulmate book. You can tell from interviews and or books who really loved Elvis!
Elvis could has been ill with an autoimmune disease ( cancer like illness ) .
My son was diagnosed with lupus which can affect every organ of the body.
Will keep you and your family in my prayers!

I totally agree with that statement 1000%. They don't they'd rather slander a person's name then write the truth
I loved this book I listen to the end of this book and I believe Ginger snd others didnt care about his health just like that body guard
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

yeah medtation

Kathy sure did grow up alot in her time with Elvis. I think she handled it well. ❤
Thank you so much.

What a beautiful book.
So sad but also beautiful at the end. Thank you Kathy for writing this amazing book.

I think Kathy was there for elvis when he needed her she was more than just a friend sole mate they had so much in common religion music fun and laughter I don’t think they ever stopped loving each other even though they had there arguments fallouts ect like all of us that have relationships we have good times and bad but still stay together l was chocked at the end just so sad 😢
Thank you so much. Great book and you did a great job reading it! ❤️
Great book. Thank you!
I agree 100% with you about the Netflix documentary - if we skip the PB's parts (which are just giggles, clichê answers - Jerry Schilling was more authentic than she), it is great.
I loved Barbara Eden and Conan O'Brien talking about Elvis's movies and mostly the Comeback Special bits - Elvis really was the best looking man of his time (and all time).
Initially Elvis was kept in the music room when friends and family came to visit.
When they had the public viewing, they moved him into the foyer of the home for the public to enter, circle the casket and walk out, rather than traipse through the home.
Wow just wow 😮..the part about PB..she had no emotions about him dying.. I knew all along he did not want her involved.
i really enjoyed this book- it seems very honest to me. MITTE Kathy- thanks for sharing the book!!
Joe first of all I hope you will feel better soon ...It's hard for me to type through these tears...it was truly a love story...Thanks for reading it. I just can't believe it's finished...I have to stop writing and try to digest this.. MITTE..Love you and your love for Elvis...TCB/TLC ❤😢❤
The last part gave me goosebumps.. and Priscilla should be ashamed!!
Hi 👋, thanks enjoyed Kathy book.

R.I.P ⚡️
MITTE ( Kathy )
That was lovely joe specifically at the end 👏
MITTE Kathy. Loved this book thank you for reading it.
Yes Elvis started out by the piano. Then Vernon moved it by the stairs entrance to let mourners from the street to walk by
Rex Humbard was a Pastor who could heal People! I grew up with Rex on TV for the Shut-in older adults! The Father God had given Rex this spiritual gift of healing! Elvis should of gone to Rex for a healing service! This makes me so sad! MITTE/TCB
Thanks you Joe and Kathy🤘💝💫
Hi, again love Elvis and I'm loving knowing more about him. I can't afford to join but I'd like to go to give super thanks, can someone go through it step by step. Never done it before. Thanks, 😊
Thank you for reading Kathy's book, Joe. I have wanted to read it for years but have never found an affordable copy. I really enjoyed listening to her perspective. #TCB #MITTE
Vernon Presley once said he wanted to keep Priscilla from ever getting her hands on any of Elvis's estate. It's sad that he did not have back up plans after back up plans given the age of Vernon.
Yea Elvis sent Ginger home bcuz she didn't want to go on tour w/him. He told her if u don't go, I'll get somebody else. I personally 🤔 Elvis got engaged w/Ginger to keep her around bcuz his health was deteriorating & he didn't want to be alone. Billy the cuzin said on his utube channel Elvis Fans Matter said Elvis told him he would never go down that road again getting married. Billy said no way Elvis was going to marry Ginger. What a wonderful book! Thk u Joe so much 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. U can't see me but I'm giving u a standing ovation. Boy even being sick u pulled thru & made us all happy even tho I'm sure we all didn't want it to end! Thk u Kathy! She's really the one I wanted Elvis to end up with bcuz they seem to be more, compatible & had so much in common!
Mitte Kathy. Love love love it. Thanks Joe
I am sad also. Our human nature always wants more. Thank you for reading to us.
MITTE.
Thank you Joe❤❤❤MITTE KATHY
I have done tons of research on Elvis and I came across that information of Elvis being in his favorite barber chair where he read his books, it was located in his bathroom.
Was his codeine levels 10 times the therapeutic level? The one medication he's allergic to is the one with the highest levels in his system....hmmm.....was that medication given to him intentionally? Did someone cause his death? That is if I am hearing the levels correctly that were present in his system. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I would hate for that to be the case! Elvis is so amazing and so loved!
This is so sad i cant baer it ..😢😢😢😢 its soo emotional 😢😢 😢💙🦋💔🙏♥️
THANK YOU JOE😢
MITTE KATHY LOVED YOUR BOOK TCB TLC Xxx ❤️
MITTE KATHY....thank you❤
It bothers me how so many people report little details differently about Elvis’ passing. Not because the details are important but because it’s hard to know who to trust. Joe Esposito said Elvis had the book clutched in his hands still. In Ginger’s book she stated that the book was not the Face of Jesus (Shroud of Turin book) but a book called ‘Sex and Psychic Energy’ and that it was propped open in his reading chair. Kathy was told it was the Face of Jesus book. I can understand friends wanting to keep the details of Elvis’ death more private. The world didn’t need to know if he had been sitting on the toilet or not, or which book he had been reading. What bothers me is just that people make things up. Just don’t say anything at all if you want to keep Elvis’ love private. But instead they all wrote books with conflicting details.
i think they tried to make the to make it seem like Elvis passed in a more "dignified" way.
There's a book called Destined to Die Young that's supposed to make a lot of sense. Another book by Billy Stanley called the Faith of Elvis. Billy had an NDE and saw Elvis in heaven
Mitte Kathy....... made it to the end of this and the end of the book.
This book was good and I believe Kathy, its just I feel there was collaborations and there is nothing wrong with that. She did reveal some interesting things that I wasn't aware of. We've been told they all were like family, there were definitely clicks among them, for instance Larry, Charlie and Kathy, then JD, Charlie and Kathy. Possibly the reason why, they were the ones that really loved and cared for Elvis. I was able to keep my emotions up until you lost yours and then I lost mine.
I hate the ideal this book is over with I've really enjoyed it MITTE
Your JD voice 😊 thanks Mr Joe a very emotional end to Kathys book
Well that was a good book I wish it didn’t cost so much I would love to have it with my other books. Thank you Joe for reading to us I for one enjoy it. I don’t really read my books because I can’t focus enough to read but listening to you read to me it’s like I’m there with them. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Your fan, Connie MITTE TCB TLC 🎶🤗
I was pleased to hear how Kathy ended the book. #TCB #MITTE #KATHY
I’ve read lots of books but that by far was one of the best. Thank you for reading an sharing. That with us. Mitte katht
Because I couldn't go, I did send flowers. My ex husband was so jealous of Elvis it was difficult to grieve as I wanted.
hello Lucy.
MITTE❤Kathy!❤
I’ve been following along with your reading of Kathy’s book, which I had previously looked for but couldn’t find. At first, I wasn’t going even going to do that, because I questioned her credibility to be objective, since I had heard in an interview that she said that Elvis had died of bone cancer. I figured she just wanted to erase the stigma of drug overdose, or maybe a heart attack brought on by fried banana and peanut butter sandwiches. Then I started looking at photos of him during that final year, where sometimes he’d look pretty normal, or at least not excessively obese, and then a few months later he had ballooned to, reportedly, over 300 pounds. It’s easy to see in those “fat” photos that he was suffering from something that was causing him to retain lots of fluid. Kathy said early in the book that Elvis had told her that he had something that was cancer “like.” Indeed, there are a lot of illnesses where symptoms can be misdiagnosed as cancer, and perhaps were not so easily distinguished by 1970s medical technology. Listening to her story has changed my mind (and your “Elvis voice” makes things more vivid than they otherwise would be). Now I wish she would update and republish it. Anyway, I was skeptical about Kathy, and now I’m not, so I decided to try the Lucy book, even though my initial reaction to the idea of yet another secret child of Elvis was to roll my eyes.
Sam Thompson said Elvis was in the front foyer for fans to walk past coffin. This would easy allow fans in and out front door. Perhaps it was more intimate for family and friends to be with Elvis in the piano room and then moved him gor the fans to file past. Also Joe clearly misled us about Elvis dying in bed. His look gave that away. Elvis arrested when sitting reading in his barber chair. He did not die on the toilet. I believe Elvis had multi organ failure due to his antitrypsn deficiency which explain recurrent chest infections, coronary issues and thrush which was most likely caused by prolonged anti biotic use. I have seen footage of Elvis using asthma puffers pre show to help open his airway and I suspect he had cardiovascular pulmonary overload through no fault of his own. He was not self destructive at all.
