On Sunday morning’s memorial service for Lisa Marie Presley at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, the actress’s husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, gave a tribute on behalf of his wife, who was seated in the front row.
“I wish I could love my daughter the way you loved me, my brother, and my sisters. I’m grateful to you for giving me my heart, courage, humor, manners, temper, wildness, and stubbornness. Your heart gave birth to me, my sisters, my brother, my parents, and my grandparents,” Smith-Petersen said as he read his wife’s comments about his mother-in-law.
