"She’s still a part of my heart," Linda wrote alongside the beautiful pictures, in a lengthy caption published to her social media on Wednesday (March 29).
The American actress, who went on to marry superstar producer David Foster after her love affair with Elvis Presley, said she was doing some spring cleaning when she came across an album of polaroid photos of Lisa Marie Presley.
"Time stood still for a few moments as I looked through these precious photos," she wrote. "Little 'Yisa Marisa' as I remember her so lovingly."

Linda explained that Lisa Marie was just six-year-old in the unearthed photos, and had asked Thompson to take some photos of her.
"She was a precious little girl! Shown here she was six years old and had just lost her two front teeth," Linda wrote.
"She wanted me to take some pictures of her in my dressing area at the Monovale house. We had such a wonderful relationship for so many years. She’s still a part of my heart."
Linda then went on to highlight the similarities between Lisa Marie and her daughter Riley Keough, who is currently starring in the wildly successful TV series, Daisy Jones & The Six.
