The phrase “on cloud 9,000” captures the dizzying leap from being an anonymous fan to addressing an idol directly. I wonder whether Elvis ever read this letter—or whether its real afterlife is the way one concert-goer’s exhilaration still feels immediate decades later.
Kind of a scary letter. But a bit less so when you read this. https://obituaries.claremoreprogress.com/obituary/marjorie-fossa-1034465506
Such a lovely letter, thank you for posting. It’s nice to read something real and true and loving.
Is a sentence or two missing or did she write it that way? I gather she was fired from the crummy construction company?

Lit a "candle" for her on this page. The dead are with us as long as we keep speaking their names. <3 https://www.mmsfuneralhomes.com/obituaries/marjorie-fossa
I wonder what Elvis thought. Was he flattered or was he rather freaked out? Personally, I'd be feeling the latter!
