In Memory of President Gordon B. Hinckley

I found out about the passing of President Hinckley Monday morning. My heart was filled with many emotions as I realized what it meant. The only prophet I had ever really known and had come to love was gone. At the same moment I was so glad that he was reunited with his sweet wife whom he loved so much. He was an amazing man and had a way of reaching out to people's hearts and touching them in a way they could never forget. I had been looking forward to having the prophet in our midst for the upcoming Rexburg temple dedication. While I know there still will be a prophet here, it just doesn't feel the same. I never met this man personally but my love and admiration for him is strong. We will truly miss you President Hinckley.

He was a perfect example of optimism and love. What a man. What a life he led. We're lucky to have had the ride with him....
