The most important man in the world died today. We are so thankful for the life
that Gordon B. Hinckley lived. He was funny, thoughtful and a great leader. I am
so thankful for the knowledge we all have...we know he has many others waiting
for him on the other side, but he will be greatly missed here.
The Murrays of Woodland | 8:54 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
I was baptized 6 short years ago. President Hinckley has been the only prophet
I've known. I never knew before that someone could be so full of love, or
that I could so love someone I had never met. I know he is glad to be with his
wife, but I, and we, sure will miss him. I would have loved to shake his hand
just once...
Cindi in Virginia | 8:54 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
What a precious, precious man. Truly a prophet of God who lived his life as an
example for us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. I am
confident that he is happy in every way!

Thank you President Hinckley for you inspiring life. We will truly miss your
spirituality and humor. Love you always.
The Woods | 8:53 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
President Hinckley is the only prophet I have ever known. I joined the church in
2000. I got to be in the same room with him at the dedication of the Lubbock,
TX temple. I felt his spirit and have no doubt he is/was a true prophet of God.
This is both sad and happy. At least now he is with his sweet bride. He will
be greatly missed. I loved him so much!!!

condolences are with the Hinckley family.
Brooke Larsen | 8:54 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
I miss you president hinckley. I never personally knew you, but you've
always been a role model to me throughout my whole youth. Since I'm only
14, your really the only prophet I ever knew. I love you so much. I'm glad
you're with your wife again, though. As I write this, tears roll down my
face as I think of how you'll never speak in another general conference
again. I will miss that. but your talks to the youth will always be with me
throughout my life.
I love and miss you
I love and miss you

My young children cried when I shared the news... the only prophet they have
known... I told them how happy I am that President Hinckley is reunited with his
wife... I wish my wife were here.
Sam Heller | 8:56 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
I was so sad to hear. He was such a great and inspired man. I know that he is
happy as he is reunited with his loving wife. It is even sadder to think of how
many people haven't had the opportunity to know him and hear his beautiful
and divine teachings.
We will miss President Hinckley.
We will miss President Hinckley.
Braden | 8:56 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
All my life, I took President Hinkley's being there for granted. I knew he
was there, respected him, but I never really realized the impact of him leaving,
I'm terribly sorry for this loss
Joyce P. | 8:57 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
Pesident Hinkely, in his earthly life, was an example to all and contributed so
much to humanity. One's words cannot adequately express his life
accomplishments; an exceptional and remarkable Prophet. We love you and hope to
be worthy to meet with you in the hereafter. Sincere thanks to President
Hinkley's family for sharing him with the world. God bless you!
Thorne Family | 8:56 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
The Lord has called home a great man and prophet. He was blessed by the Lord to
guide his church during the most difficult time so far upon the earth. He
fulfilled that calling with great humility and love for the whole human family.
May he continue that work on the other side of the veil and may his family be
blessed during this time of loss. We love him and will miss him, but look
forward to see him again.
St. Jo Mo Boy | 8:57 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
What a sad thing. We will miss him here in Missouri
Ely Family | 8:57 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
Presidently Hinckley was a man of integrity. Truly an example to follow. His
sense of humor and humility will be missed. One shining part of his passing is
that he is able to be reunited with his wonderful sweetheart, and live in
God's presence.
Jeannette | 8:57 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
You were a great example of faith and dedication.I loved your sense of humor.
You were like a dear friend.I am so happy you are now able to be with your wife
and be with Heavenly Father and Jesus again.

After a long life devoted to service, never faltering even in the wake of his
wife's passing, he has most certainly earned his rest. He will be be sorely
missed.

President Hinckley was sustained on April 1, 1985. I was baptized into this
church the same day. I loved this man from the first time a saw and heard him.
I will miss his words, humor, and wisdom. But we must remember he is now with
his bride. Thank you Brother Hinckley.
An LDS Teen | 9:00 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
Wow. This feels very strange, but President Hinckley is probably a little
relieved right now, and he gets to be with his wife. Good for him, but
I'll miss him.
McCampbell Fanily | 9:00 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
We will truly miss you! you were a wonderful leader and man. Now you can be
with your sweet wife. You have been blessed with a wonderful life.

rejoice in his passing into the arms of the Savior, the heavens will surely be
singing hyms of happiness.

For most of our lives President Hinckley has been the prophet. He is the
prophet that we had while we made the most important decisions of our lives. We
appreciate all he has done and all the great revelation he gave and teachings.
It is sad to see him go, yet a happy time for him to be re-united with his sweet
wife. We love you President Hinckley and know that you are just entering
another phase of our eternal progression.
