he was a kind,humble man.he taught us that love and service to all mankind was
better than preaching without practise or doctrine without doing. we love you.

God bless Gordon B. Hinckley. He was the prophet during many of the significant
events of my life and is a great example to me.
I met President Hinckley in the Salt Lake Temple just before I left on a 2 year mission. It was a great faith building experience that I will remember all of my life.
He will be missed but I'm sure he's hard at work on the other side (Alma 34:34).

As a rank and file member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who
was only in President Hinckley's presence a couple of times, I would just
like to say (borrowing from Brigham Young), "I feel like shouting
Hallelujah every time I think that I had the privilege of knowing Gordon B.
Hinckley, the Prophet."

i didn't meet the prophet but i always make sure i attend every conference
so i could listen to his voice. When i have the chance to meet him in the spirit
world i would personally thank him for what he did to me and to the whole
world.My family has been blessed becuase of him. He may be thousands of miles
away from me but his exmaple has penetrated into my heart. I love Pres.
Hinckley and glad that he already met Sis. Hincley

I will feel lack of the teachings of pre. hinckley, but I know that it this in
the perpetual dwelling. I know that it lives. Mor�ni 8:3

President Hinckley would be the first to admit that he taught nothing new or
profound or revolutionary. Everything he taught he got from Jesus, who is the
real head of the Church. Although President Hinckley was a great administrator
of a physical organization, let's please not forget who we worship and why
-- lest our enemies find fault with our misplaced "hero-worship" and
we give them evidence for the accusation.
Palomares family | 4:04 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
Dear president Hinckle, thank you for your years of service, for your love and
good example. We are going to miss you so much. We�ll
always love you.

Life is for the living and President Hinckley lived his a fully as one can. He
touched many in ways that have changed them forever. He is already missed but
the Lord has prepared a strong leader to step into his place.

President Hinkley was such agood prophet. He was the person who encouraged me to
read the book of mormon and I thank him for that. Thank You presedent Hinkley
for your service. Your family is in my prayers.
In memory | 9:17 p.m. Jan. 31, 2008
Gordon B.Hinkley was born on this earth to live
His special mission, to love and to give.
He was raised in the LDS throng,
His work through so he couldn't stay long.
Don't cry for our prophet, put a smile on your face
He's up in heaven in Christ's loving embrace.
If you listen real closely then maybe you'll hear it,
The prophets loving voice being bourn by the spirit.
Keep the commandments and stay free from sin,
I love you so much, AND WE WILL MEET AGAIN.

God bless President Hinkley. I would love to have been there on the other side
when you met those waiting for you. I must be a fantastic reunion!

I was about ready to write that I never knew President Hinckley personally.
However, anyone who had ever heard him speak or had the wonderful experience of
being in the same building as this great man knew him personally. Such was the
way he affected all with his radiant sense of humor and captivating smile. A
great man, a wonderful prophet, a child of God. The heaven's rejoice, the
earth weeps at his passing. Yet we know that we will meet again. That is the
message he left with us all. Eternity awaits all who are faithful. Our
prayer's are with the Hinckley family. Our prayer's also are with
President Monson, his is a mission that needs our sustaining vote, and our
continued support. God bless you all.

We love you President Hinckley. You were a wonderful man who served many. How I,

Pres. Hinckley, you�ll be deeply loved and missed! Words
cannot express the gratitude we felt for all your accomplishments in bringing
millions of members unto Christ. Your wit, optimism, and sense of humor and the
examples you've shown will always be an inspiration to many. Your legacy
will always instill in our hearts. Our tears of sadness also means joy of
knowing you are reuniting with your wife and will have a great reception. To

When my uncle called and said the news, I cryed all night. Gordon B. Hinkley has
been the prophet all of all of my life. I will miss him dearly. What a sweet
guy. I remeber my first confrence. He walked in and the crowed hushed. He waved
his cane at us and walked to his seat. He was such a good guy and I only hope
that I will love President Monson as much as I love President Hinckley. I feel
bad for his family and I hope that they will be okay.

Thank you for leading the church. And thanks for your prophetic advice: the

uncertain. We miss your optimistic and positive outlook.
