Hundreds of mourners gathered at Graceland on Sunday morning to pay their respects to singer Lisa Marie Presley in a memorial service at the mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, she inherited from her father, rock legend Elvis Presley.

Presley died on January 12 at the age of 54. Earlier that day, she had been rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital after reportedly suffering cardiac arrest at her home.

“Lisa was the last very, very close piece of Elvis that was left to us and it’s so sad that she is not here with us on this Earth anymore,” said Kimberly Starbuck, a 59-year-old retired baker from Memphis.“From what I’ve seen of her, she looked like a very humble person, a very good, good person. And she, you know, she, she held the torch good for her dad,” said John Nolan, a 56-year-old contractor from Ireland.

Two days before her death, she had appeared with her mother, Priscilla Presley, at the Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, California, where actor Austin Butler won the best actor award for portraying her father in the film “Elvis.” Butler paid tribute to both women in his acceptance speech.
