President Faust's was a great leader and and his teachings were marvoulous.He was a great example to the world.He is with our Heavenly Father.

I to add my profound and humble gratitude for this humble servant of God...indeed an emmisary for the Lord Jesus Christ over a life time of righteous work. As he took his seat along side President Hinckley I have watched him add his unique gifts and leadership in his role as a counsellor. I hugered to read his addresses and c ouncil which akways was when I needed it the most, I observed his mobility had lessened but he never shirked his assignments. There was a beautifufl simple testimony which went deep into my soul, and many a time tears would unashamedly course down my face...Another healing was taking place in my heart.

How I love this great man and his untiring efforts to be the servant at all times...To his beloved wife Ruth and their children and families, my husband and I and our families say farewell. and with gratirude express our love for him who has made our lives richer.

I've always remembered President Hinckley counselors by connecting their first letters President Monson and President Faust with the first letter in mother and father. I don't know what I will do now. We have lost a great "father" in the leadership of our church with the passing of President Faust. I will miss his counsel, his voice, his face, and the spirit he brought to General Conference. May my family and myself continue to read and follow the guidance that he blessed us with during his life. May the Lord bless Sister Faust and his family at this time. We will all miss him.

President Fausts Love was felt stongly in every conference talk and message in the ensign. My family has been touched and life enriched by the example and clear directions given. We will miss him and look forward to meeting him again.
Kia kaha (Be strong)Love the Hall Family

My heart is saddened by the loss of a great and noble servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. President Faust served faithfully and left a legacy for all from which to learn and to emulate in our individual lives. I too thought his conference talk on forgiveness was a true masterpiece, and I will never forget it. I reflect often on his message and try to implement that kind of Charity in my life daily. The members of the church have lost a cherished friend in our Beloved President Faust. I pray that the family of President Faust will be comforted by the out pouring of so much love

My prayers are with President Faust's family. I know that each one will miss him in there own way,but just think of all the wonderful things that he did while he was here on this earth and think of the wonderful things he is still doing. I have always enjoyed listening to his talks. Again my prayers are with the family and also with President Hinkley at this time.

He will be greatly missed. His wisdom and love will be remembered always. He was a man that when you heard him speak, or just saw his presence you felt the spirit telling you this Gospel is True. My heart goes out to the family that are left here as it is not easy having a loved one leave us. God Bless

Several years ago I wrote the following on the front page of a little homemade book and gave it away to about 100 people, I have continued using mine trying to do a good deed everyday,doing so has definitely brought me closer to the Saviour Jesus Christ, and as I do I think of President Faust and the awesome, loving man that he was and the inspiration he gave us all. He will be missed and remembered with a great outpouring of love....

During the 2004 Christmas Devotional,
James E. Faust gave a very memorable
talk on the story of a young man who
left home to go to school. He lived a
very impoverish life there and knew
there was no help from his family who
also were living in difficult times.
The only gift the son could give his
father for Christmas, that year
was a little, Scout diary, which had
a space in the corner to mark off a
good deed he had done every day.
This was the gift he gave his father,
a humble, little book, where for 365
days he recorded the good deed he
had preformed every day. When the
father opened the gift he was moved
to tears as he realized his son was
living his life in the way he had tried
to teach him. �Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you� He was
truly living the Golden Rule! I pray
that you will be touched by this little
story and follow the example of this
young man and record a good deed
every day for the New Year.
Love,
Sandra

My family & I offer our deepest sympathies to Sister Faust & her famil. Their comfort is in knowing the love for his Savior & his heavenly father that Pres. Faust had. It is very appropriate that the August Ensign would carry a final message from him. We greatly appreciated Pres. Fausts comments during the last general conference regarding forgiveness in times of tragedy or painful surroundings. God Bless the immediate & extended family of Pres. Faust

To the entire Faust family, we love you and pray for you. The passing of Elder James E. Faust has been felt deeply by so many--an evidence of the great love he had for all of God's children. We were blessed in 1979 to go to mainland China to represent the LDS Church and BYU through a special music tour as the BYU Young Ambassadors. Elder Faust and his sweet wife Ruth accompanied us on that tour. It was truly a blessing to have them there. Ruth, we grew to love you and Elder Faust in a very short time. We prayed together, recieved spiritual guidance and worked hard to hopefully make a difference through the Spirit. I will never forget that wonderful experience. Yes, we mourn the loss of our brother and special witness of Jesus Christ. We take comfort in how he blessed our lives and inspired so many to be like Jesus Christ. May our Heavenly Father's choicest blessings be with you and the family to give you comfort and peace. We love you and pray for you.
