God be with you 'til we meet again

last night President Gordon B. Hinkley, the prophet of my church, passed away. he was 97 years old. i don't really think death is sad when you have lived 97 extraordinary years. i hope at then end of my life, i can say i've followed President Hinkley's example, tirelessly serving right up to the end. i feel so blessed to be part of a church with a living prophet of God on the Earth, and comforted to know that though this beloved prophet is no longer with us, we have a living Christ directing and guiding us. i look forward to hearing who our next prophet will be.

President Hinkley, i hope i can always follow your counsel to be: grateful, smart, clean, true, humble, and prayerful. thank you for your dedication and service.

Britain...

thank you so much for this beautiful post. I admire your words and time to put this here.

He was an amazing man...we will miss all the times he brought smiles our faces...

When he spoke at BYU the spirit in the building as he entered was undeniable...I will never forget it...
