In loving memory

We want to express our deep love and gratitude for the amazing life of our dear prophet, President Gordon B. Hinckley. We feel fortunate for the countless times we have heard his voice, expressing love and counsel, for the times we have seen his kind smile, and even for those precious opportunities when we were right there in the same room with him and could feel the power of his faith. His life has touched millions of people, within and outside of our church, and we will always be grateful for his selfless service. How joyful he must be to be reunited with his sweet wife again, but we will miss him dearly.

It's hard to quite know what to say about this. You said it well. I remember when President Hinckley came to D.C. and spoke in our stake center. It was a wonderful experience to be able to watch the impact that one man had. The place was packed and they had to have people at the front door to make sure that only the people "invited" were getting let in. It was an amazing experience. We'll definitely miss President Hinckley.
