I love President Hinckley! He's been a prophet for a majority of my teenage/adult life, the one I have remembered the most. He is and will be such a positive influence in my life. He will be greatly missed, but I know what he is having the best time in Heaven being with his wife and family again.

I'm so sad that we won't get to partake of his wonderful sense of humor at general conference anymore, but I'm so happy he gets to be with his "Sweet Marjorie." He will be missed immensely!
I'm sad too since he was president of the church for so long and was such a sweet man and did so much for the growth of the church... BUT, I love to think of him being with his wife again!
Sweet tribute Michelle. I'm so glad your dad is home! Love, Cam
Thanks for posting that. I love Pres. Hinckley. I'm having a hard time imagining anyone else as the prophet!
