Posted by Merlyn Hunt on Wednesday, June 12, 2024

    Mother's Day will never be the same, nor the easiest holiday, for Priscilla Presley and her family.

    It has been just over a year since the former wife of Elvis Presley mourned the loss of their daughter Lisa Marie Presley, who passed away on January 12, 2023 after suffering from cardiac arrest, later revealed to have been caused by complications from a previous gastric bypass surgery.

    The author has since then continuously honored her late daughter's legacy, and in honor of Mother's Day, her granddaughter Finley Lockwood followed suit with her own tribute.

    Before her untimely passing aged 54, Lisa Marie welcomed four children; she shared daughter Riley Keough, 34, with Danny Keough, as well as Benjamin Keough  – who died from suicide aged 27 in 2020 – plus twins Finley and Harper, 15, with Michael Lockwood.

    On Sunday, Riley took to her Instagram Stories and reposted a Story shared by her younger half sister Finley, a tribute to their mom.

    For her own tribute, Priscilla shared a photo featuring Lisa Marie as well as her son Navarone Garibaldi, 37, who she shares with her former partner of 20 years, music producer Marco Garibaldi. The photo is from 2011, when the three attended a fundraising event for the Nevada Ballet Theatre in Las Vegas.

    "There was nothing like a Mother's Day with both my son and daughter," Priscilla wrote in her caption, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post with their supportive messages.

    Priscilla recently reunited with much of her family for Easter Sunday this past April, and shared a photo from the celebrations featuring her son Navarone, Harper and Finley with their dad Michael, plus Jerry Schilling, a talent manager and lifelong friend to Elvis, among other family friends.

    Though Riley – who moved with her husband Ben Smith Petersen and their daughter Tupelo closer to the twins following their mother's death, and has publicly reunited with her grandmother following their legal battle – did not appear to be in attendance, she gave the pic a subtle stamp of approval by liking it on Instagram.
