I had no idea she was a musician. ---

What surprised me was 1. Priscilla is still alive, and 2. Lisa Marie is my age. I always feel weird when people my age die. ---

I remember reading her interview in _ **Playboy** _ back in the '90s. I got the impression she was … one of a kind. RIP. Fifty-four is a rotten age to die nowadays. ☹ ---

Her two youngest daughters are still teenagers. Very sad for them. ---

At least she didn’t die on the toilet. That was a sad way for The King to go. Lisa Marie led a very troubled life. Living in Elvis shadow had to be difficult. ---

> [@GuanoLad](#): > > Lisa Marie is my age. I always feel weird when people my age die. Me too. I didn’t follow her career but am in the same age group and it feels really weird. Now I’m like, hmm, maybe I should make an appointment with my regular doctor, selfishly, but it’s scary that heart attack/impending heart attack symptoms can be so vague and then you just keel over. So sorry for what her mom and children must be experiencing. ---

At first, I was thinking that Priscilla outlived her only child, but then remembered that she had another child, a son, many years later. ---
