      Horrible that even in death they wouldn’t leave Elvis alone. God will get them for that one.

      QUESTION - did they have Vernon’s service at Graceland? And gramma dodgers funeral ? Was it at Graceland? I’ve never heard anyone say about those.

    This is wonderful what you and Billy are doing, not just for the fans but even for your grand kids and their kids. We should all do this for our families. I'm sorry, I know the hurt doesn't go away. Thank you so much for sharing.

      Billy and Jo, I just want to thank you both and your family for taking the time to share your memories and lives with all of us. I know at times it must feel bittersweet, however, I think I speak for everyone that cares about the "Elvis Family" and feels as I do that "EFM"... truly.

    Jo & Billy, I could feel your pain. Thank you both for sharing this very painful part of your lives with us. My heart broke on August 16th 1977 and it will never heal. I will always feel pain when thinking of his passing. I know as Elvis' family and the closest people to him your pain is unimaginable! I thank God for you and your family. I love your experiences y'all share. And feel like we get to know the man Elvis a lot better through y'all. I love each and every one of you. Y'all raised a beautiful family. Thanks for being friends! With much love, Nita ❤

    @brendalawrence6732 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm sure it was a sad day visiting the cemetery and remembering all your loved ones. I enjoy this tribute to them all and the sad photo's of the funeral day of Elvis. So happy his fans were there to show their love for a great man as well. Sad, but he is definitely in a better place now, they are all in a better place now....much better than us. Thank you for sharing this with us fan. Never realized there was a chapel at the mausoleum. Glad Elvis and family are "home" in Graceland, where they all should be.

    I have never visited the Forest Hills cemetery & appreciate you giving us a brief tour. You’re blessed to have many family members in one area. You can pay respects without traveling far. You also connected family genealogy that fans like myself didn’t know.
    Those are lovely flowers for Billy’s mom, dad & brothers. I got a little chuckle at Jo directing Camerawoman Danielle by pointing where to aim and then Billy directing traffic. It shows REALITY, doing this for the fans. I feel Danielle’s efforts are creating wonderful presentations, because the end product is FAMILY FRIENDLY. I’m always happy to see the EFM notification pop up on my phone.
    PS This was a side of Billy that we don’t normally see - sincere & serious. While we adore the “funny” jokester, it’s refreshing to see the down-to-earth Billy. And Jo’s hair was lovely.

    I know how difficult it is to visit your own family grave sights, and all the memories it brings back. As you were also there for so many of their final resting moments, not only Elvis' it's not easy to go back. So thank you so much for sharing this with us, it means a lot to have actual family talk and show about family. God bless you! ❤🙏🏻

    Thank you Mr & Mrs Smith for taking the time to show the fans this cemetery and creating this beautiful clip. It's hard not to get emotional when visiting loved ones who are no longer with us and I had a lump in my throat watching you two talk about the events of the day of the funeral, the images you showed and listening to the two of you talk about all your other relatives that have passed over the years. I wish some of these "Bob Joyce Is Elvis" and other conspiracy muppets would watch clips like these and educate themselves about Elvis from the people who knew him the best. I always live Elvis. Keep up the great work. God bless and take care. Your fan from Australia.

    Good learning about Elvis' Smith side of the family. Yes always very sad to loose loved ones. I pray that you all get together again on the street of gold in our eternal home (if you know Jesus as savior). I know that the time of Elvis passing and burial was devastating for his family and friends. I remember hearing about Evis' death and couldn't believe it. I was on my way home from shopping with family and the DJ on our local radio station came on and announced that Elvis had died. I remember watching the funeral procession on tv. Thank you for sharing with we Elvis fans. You all be safe and well. God bless and keep you Mr. Billy and Jo and family.

    I liked learning more about the Smith’s. I always wanted to know more about Tracy Smith since we both have the same first name. I have read things about him in a couple of books. I did not know Billy’s brother passed at age 27, what a tragedy to lose a brother, especially so young. I love learning about Elvis, but I also would like to learn more about his family. Too many of your family members passed away too young. Thanks for sharing this personal information, I could tell Billy was emotional during the visit.

    I will never except his death. I will miss him forever. I never stop urning for him. It makes me sick that Elvis left us so early. He was the greatest entertainer that ever lived. The Smith family was so lucky to be part of his incredible life. May he rest in peace for eternity.

    Thanks for sharing this with us. My dad passed on the 12th anniversary of Elvis' passing. I remember it well. I never had the chance to really mourn him. sadly because of my siblings. I haven't visited his and my mom's gravesite in years, because of transportation and covid. I want to go to Memphis during Elvis' week to remember Elvis and my dad. My dad liked Elvis; didn't listen to his music much, but he admired him for joining the Army like a regular guy

    THANK YOU Billy, Jo , Danielle and everyone in your sweet beautiful family for sharing your amazing experiences.
    Life is so very short and it’s absolutely wonderful that you guys are willing to share .
    I greatly enjoy every moment of watching all of your videos.
    It’s obvious to me that Elvis got the same jovial happy nature from the Smith side as you guys 😊🙏
    God bless

    I read somewhere that even to this day more flowers were sold on the day of Elvis' funeral than any other day since that type of thing could be tracked. And ofcourse there were also alot of flowers at Graceland as well for the visitation before Elvis' funeral and entombment in the moselium. It still hurts me to this day when I see those images of Elvis' funeral just like a family member and to think I wasnt even born until 2 years after he passed I guess goes to show how much he touches people's lives.

    This was a very sad video. The mausoleum used to be open. I have been inside - they had a guest book outside the room where Elvis was and many people left flowers. I intertwined a red rose bud into the grate on the door. A touching place. Thank you for sharing!

    August 1977 I was 10 and remember everything about it when he died. O was sad because I was a big fan of his music and movies! Thanks for sharing this !

    Another fascinating episode. Did not know Elvis was interred there for such a short time. Also very interesting to hear about all the other family members that are laid to rest at Forest Hill. Its sad visiting the graves of loved ones. Is a good time to reflect on their lives, and our fond memories of them.

    Même si je ne comprends pas l'anglais, merci beaucoup pour ce partage si émouvant. Pour la premiére fois je vois le mausolée sans personne alors que pour mon souvenir tout était couvert de fleurs......Je vais partager sur Space for Elvis car il y a des anglophones et même ceux qui ne le sont pas comme moi, seront touchés. Que Dieu vous garde vous êtes précieux, on vous respecte et on vous aime

    It seems like the grounds are taken care of. I would have loved to have seen the chapel. I don't think anyone will forget all the flowers that were outside the mausoleum. It seems like yesterday. 🤗
