Gladys Presley
There's one thing that bugs me about these headstones is that Gladys' is so plain. Hers just says she was a great mom, great wife, loved by all, will be missed. If you read the other ones, I mean, such prose... Gladys drew the short stick. Read them, you'll see.

Famous photo
I don't think I had ever noticed that little Elvis' left cheek is puffed out in this photo. Our tour guide said his Mom, Gladys, gave him a peanut to put in his cheek so he would hold still for the photo.

Gladys' bathroom
They told us this bathroom, right off of the purple bedroom, was specifically decorated for Gladys. The wallpaper is a poodle playing with a ball. She loved pink!

Gladys' bathroom room
Elvis' Mom's room. It could have been his prent's room but the tour guide told us it was his Mom's room. Also, you'll see the bathroom was done specifically for his Mom and only his Mom's clothes are in the closet. That could be for show but, I'm unsure, it could be just for tour purposes.
