Lisa Marie Presley's daughter, Riley Keough, shared the last photo she had with her late matriarch.
The Presley family received outpouring love and support from fans, especially during the memorial service for the singer-songwriter at the Graceland mansion. They heard how Presley impacted people's lives as their guests spoke about the memories they had with her at the event.
However, Presley's daughter was not able to speak at her mom's funeral, memorial ceremony. Instead, her husband Ben Smith-Petersen read the poem "A Letter to My Mama" she wrote after the crooner's passing.
After keeping her words in her, Keough took to Instagram and shared the final photo she had with her mother.
The snap was taken at a Jan. 8 event at the Formosa Café, where people celebrated Elvis Presley's birthday. The mother and daughter were smiling as they posed for the camera.
"I feel blessed to have a photo of the last time I saw my beautiful mama. Grateful @georgieflores georgieflores for taking this," Keough wrote.
The caption resonated with what she wrote in the poem her husband read for her. For what it's worth, Keough expressed how eternally grateful she is to have the opportunity to spend 33 years of her life with her mother.
Lisa Marie is survived by her daughters, Keough; twins Finley and Harper; and her mother, Priscilla.
She was laid to rest in the famous backyard fountain area of Graceland where the remains of Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll's parents Gladys and Vernon, and his grandmother, Minnie Mae, can be found.
Lisa Marie was placed beside her late son, Benjamin, and across her father.
Riley Keough Was Always Inspired by Her Mother
Before Lisa Marie's untimely passing, she sat for an interview with People and opened up about her show "Daisy Jones & The Six." At that time, she said that her mother reminded her of her character.
According to Keough, her mother was a "very strong, smart woman" who raised her while doing her own thing and not caring about what other people thought. With that, she ultimately saw her as her greatest inspiration.
Lisa Marie's daughter, amid the heartbreak, delivered good news through the speech Smith-Petersen read at the memorial. The couple revealed that they had welcomed their baby.
Keough said she hopes she can love her daughter the way Lisa Marie loved her.
Representatives for Keough later confirmed that she indeed had given birth to her daughter.
