Between school, a job at a fast-food restaurant and shoveling snow for elderly people in his neighborhood, Bryce said he's become "really, really busy just like President Hinckley, and I'm tired just like him, too."

Both Bryce and his sister, Kelsi, dressed in their Sunday best for school on Monday after getting the word via text, e-mail and phone message.

Personal tributes from family members were available for public viewing as those who passed the casket left the hall and exited into the auditorium of the Conference Center, the building in which President Hinckley's funeral will take place at 11 a.m. Saturday.

Among the floral tributes, a huge bouquet of multi-colored roses bore a card from his great grandchildren, reflecting the impact he had on the lives of young church members everywhere with his book, "Way to Be!"

"Dear Grandpa: We will always be grateful, be smart, be clean, be true, be humble, be prayerful because we love you."
