God be with you 'til we meet again...

Gordon B. Hinckley 1910-2008

I just wanted to give a little tribute to President Hinckley. Last night when I found out I was in shock, and I still don't think it has fully hit me yet. What a wonderful man he was! We owe so much to him. He truly is an example of kindness and love. I am so grateful that I was able to live on this earth during his time as president of the church. I know that the heavens are rejoicing to have him back in their presence! I just smile when I think of he and his sweetheart, Marjorie, holding hands again. You will be missed! We know that God will be with you until we meet again!
