TO THE FANS AND FRIENDS OF
ELVIS PRESLEY IN JACKSON AND
SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES:
Last Thursday afternoon a very attractive lady
walked into my shop. She introduced herself as Mrs.
Pickett, a personal friend of Elvis Presley and his
family. She is a former resident of Jackson, and since
the family was aware of this, they asked her to
express to the friends in Jackson the sincere
appreciation for the floral offering sent to Elvis’
funeral.
There were over 3100 offerings sent and of course
it would be impossible for the family to send thank
you notes for so many. Our guitar design was the
second largest piece sent to the funeral and was
placed close to the casket for the service. It was six
feet tall and was made of blue and white flowers,
incidently, two of Elvis’ favorite colors. She said we
should feel very special because the family made
such an effort to let us know of their deep
appreciation for the kindness we had shown them.
I also wish to say as a participant in the tribute to
Elvis that I think all who contributed would like to
thank Mr. Don Earnhart and Radio Station WJGA for
giving us the idea and the chance to coordinate such a
gesture. It proves they are aware of the interest of
many, many citizens who listen to them each day.
Yours very truly,
Mrs. Pat Polk
