Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley
We will miss one of our Church's most successful, cutest, dedicated, funny, sweet, energetic prophets of the Lord. He was such a great example to me and will never be forgotten.
"He passed away at his home about 7 o'clock this evening (Jan. 27, 2008) with his family at his side. President Hinckley was 97 years old. He was the 15th president of the Church.
Since becoming Church President on Mar. 12, 1995, he has directed the most intense temple building program in the history of the Church in an effort to extend temple blessings to more members.
He has exhibited vitality and energy as he has traveled about the world meeting and speaking to members of the Church.
Through television interviews and national press publications, he has increased media attention and improved the public image of the Church. He has counseled Church members to fellowship new converts, befriend members of other faiths, live exemplary lives, and avoid the evils of the world." (-news article)

I am so grateful for the example he was and for his long hard work with the church and dedication in building so many temples all over the world. I am glad that he is now reunited with his sweet wife in heaven and will praying for the Hinckley family.

It's really so weird that he's gone. But I too am so happy for him and his cute little wife--so happy!
I was really surprised that upon hearing about his death, I felt peace intsead of shock and grief. My first thoughts were gratitude that he was our beloved Prophet for so many years and that he is now with his sweet wife again. I will truly miss him though.
