Priscilla Presley, 77, took to the stage on Sunday to pay tribute to her daughter Lisa Marie Presley at her public memorial service.She read out a loving message from one of her granddaughters, calling the late Lisa a "superhero" and remembering her importance in everyone's lives.Priscilla's speech began by thanking Jerry Schilling for his "beautiful" speech while telling the audience that she was going to read something her granddaughter "wrote for you all and this says it all".Lisa has three granddaughters from Lisa Marie - including Riley Keough, 33, and 14-year -old twins Harper and Finley.Her son, she shared with ex Danny Keough, Benjamin Keough took his own life in 2020 at the age of 27.She began: "The old soul, I had no idea how to put my mother into words.Truth is there are too many."Lisa Marie Presley was an icon, a role model, a superhero to so many people all over the world.But mama was my icon, my role model, my superhero in much more ways than one."Even now I can't get across everything there is to be understood or known about her.

But she always said 'I'll do my best'."Priscilla then paused for a moment to get her composure as she struggled to keep in her tears as she read out a poem.She continued: "The old soul, in 1968 she entered our world born tired, fragile yet strong."She was delicate but was filled with life.She always knew she wouldn't be here too long."Childhood passes by with a glimpse of her green eyes.She then grew a family of her own."Then came her second child, leaving her with suspicion.
