Crazy how fast news travels of the passing of President Hinckley. What a wonderful prophet President Gordon B. Hinckley was. I love President Hinckley and sure will miss him. I cried when I found out but my next thought was how happy he must be-- more like elated to finally see his eternal companion he has missed her so much what an awesome reunion that must be!! Think how happy he is now he lived a beautiful, productive, honest, fulfilling long life. I'll miss his stories, and all the wonderful talks he gave I always looked forward to hearing him speak, always felt of the love he had for everybody and the ability to make us all laugh and to make us feel like we were in some small way all on the same level. Besides all the wonderful things he accomplished in his lifetime with temples and the family proclamation, and about a million other things http://www.lds.org/. He was awesome. He did so much! He's probably relieved to pass on the title too though don't you think.
But what an awesome example of how we all should live our lives. How much closer would we be to our Heavenly Father if we all followed his council more everyday. How grateful I am to be member of this church, I know this church is true!!!

It's hard to believe he's gone. When my brother-in-law called tonight to let us know, I was sure he was mistaken! It just seemed like he would be around forever. He will definitely be missed.
Amen Christal. What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man. Thank you for sharing it.
I just want to shout "The church is So true!"
You say it so well. I too will miss him but what a wonderful life and how happy he must be. I couldn't have said it better. Thanks for the words.
I love your way with words. When I ran to my blog last night for comfort, the words did not come. What an amazing man, I am so thankful for his time as prophet in my life. It was a time I needed such a man to stand up and say it like it was, and yet, make us feel loved at the same time. A quality I feel our Heavenly Father has...it's no wonder President Hinckley was such...he knew our Father in Heaven, so of course he was like him. Something I want to work on more and more.
Christal, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful thoughts with us. You do have a great way wiht words! President Hinckley was truely amazing! We're so blessed for having him for such a long time! 97 years, hoe-la!
I promise I'm not copying you, twice now I've posted something, then checked out your blog after--twinkies in thought we are! And like you said, just a touch on the crazy side=)
He definately was an amazing prophet. They all are for certain reasons. He will truly be missed. My first reaction was happiness for him, the thought that he'll be with his sweetheart now. That's the first thing my hubby said too! I'm sure his funeral will be watched by millions!
