Last night President Gordon B. Hinckley passed away. I was with my brother, Dave, when I heard, and as I watched the news report on the T.V, I was so sad to lose such an incredible man. He was the prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for the majority of my life. But as I began to really think about him and the gospel that I love so much, I realized that I shouldn't be sad! I thought about the kind of reunion President Hinckley is having, and I was so happy! I know he is with people he loves, and his sweet wife who he absolutely adores! And it was comforting to know that it truly was his time to leave us, and that there is going to be another prophet, another amazing, inspired man who will have his own contributions to our church. I will truly miss Gordon B. Hinckley, but I feel so blessed to have seen all the things that he has done, the way he loves all people, and his great sense of humor.

President Hinckley was(and is) a very special man. He was my hero.I looked to his life to show me how to be a good husband,father, priesthood leader, and son of God. He never let me down. I will miss him in so many ways, but I feel so blessed to have had him be my prophet these past 18 years. I'm thrilled that Jen Bug has expressed these same feelings. It makes a father proud. Dad
I too will miss President Hinckley. I am so thankful our children and grandchildren are blessed to share this wonderful family heritage . . .
