June 18 - Another Return of the Pelvis

On June 17th. and June 18th. family and friends remembered the late Dominick Joseph Fontana, or D.J. Fontana in Nashville. Below the poem by Joey Beighley.

Fill not your heart with pain and sorrow, 
but remember me in every tomorrow. 
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles, 
I've only gone to rest a little while. 

Although my leaving causes pain and grief, 
my going has eased my hurt and given me relief. 
So dry your eyes and remember me 
not as I am now, but as I use to be. 

Because I will remember you all and look on with a smile, 
Understand, in your hearts, I've only gone to rest a little while. 
As long as I have the love of each of you, 
I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.

Elvis Auctions


A previous auction house says Elvis designed the interior that has gold-tone woodwork, red velvet seats and red shag carpet. But the red 1962 Lockheed Jetstar has no engine and needs a restoration of its cockpit. 

Lindsay Goldstein, a spokeswoman for IronPlanet, said the jet is still grounded in Roswell and the current owner “has not made any changes to this piece of history.”
