We'll miss President Hinckley, an extraordinary man, but I'm pretty
sure he's where Heavenly Father wants him to be.

My words can't express what a great man man I think he was. He will be
missed but his example and legacy will be remembered. I'm grateful that I
was able to learn from this prophet of God. I'm glad he can be with his
wife again. See you again someday!

Very mixed emotions. Happy for Pres. Hinckley and is wife. Happy that he was
what we was until the end. Happy that I have been able to partake of his spirit,
direction, and leadership for so long. At the same time, I already miss him, but
no doubt the work will move forward.

A man of God and a godly man whose life work will be a foundation on which
others will build their lives. He will be remembered.

What a beloved dear prophet he was. I will forever revere and love him. How
grateful I am for his unending devotion and love shown to everyone in the world.
He was truly the "world's" prophet. Can you imagine the great
reunion that is taking place with President Hinckley, his dear sweet wife, and
all other prophets who have preceded him? He inspired me to be better, to do
better, to love more, to show more compassion. I will forever love him.
Rebeka webb | 9:26 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

Thank you, President Hinkley for your influence in our lives and in leading the
LDS Church out of obscurity. Our boys gasped tonight when we shared this news
of Pres. Hinkley's passing. They loved him. I am sure they will have good
dreams this night, as they think upon his great example and life. Thank you.

I have lived to know quit a few Leaders of the Church but I am sure that as many
of you do, we will miss him like no other. President Hinkley has done more for
the members of this church and blessed more lives world wide then and one in the
modern-day history of this church save it be the Prophet Joseph Smith.
We are truly thankful for President Hinkley.

Words can't describe how much we will miss this great man. On the other
hand, what a great blessing it is for him to be reunited with his wife and loved
ones who have passed on before him.
Thanks for the kind comments from those outside the church.

President Hinckley, I love you. God rest your soul! God be with you till we
meet again. Thank you for all you did for all of us. I cannot imagine how
happy you are right now to be with your sweetheart. That thought alone comforts
me!! I pray your loved ones will be comforted.
Non-Mormon Praise | 9:28 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
As a native, non-Mormon, who has had the opportunity to watch President
Hinckley's evolution, I can honestly say that I admired his work ethic, his
enthusiasm, and his intelligence. He was a great leader for the Church, and an
inspiration to many people, regardless of their religious affiliation. He will
be missed by everyone of our generation who was fortuate enough to watch him
work.
John Moss | 9:28 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
President Hinckley was a great man with a great spirit and a wonderful sense of
humor. He provided inspiration to the Church and to our family for many
years.
Now he can be with his beloved Marjorie.

place among the great prophets of the past.
Todd | 9:28 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
Truly a great man has left. May his family be comforted at this time. I'll

Rick Tucker - El Paso | 9:28 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
President Hinckley was a prophet of God and a man of great vision - just like
those of the Old and New Testament. His work has inspired me to not only learn
more about Jesus Christ - but has placed in my heart a greater desire to follow
Jesus Christ. I am forever grateful.
Johnny Allred | 9:28 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008

The Anderson's (Kennewick) | 9:29 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
Put simply, President Hinckley accomplished more in his lifetime than I will in
a thousand lifetimes. This man loved the Lord and gave this life to the work.
We truly thank thee, O God, for a prophet, our Brother Gordon!
Daniel Wilhelm in AZ | 9:29 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
I loved and respected the Prophet more and more each time I heard him speak or
read his words. He was the Prophet of my return to the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints --after a foolish bout of stubborn pride in my youth. I hold
his teachings dear to my heart and I know that even though we never met in this
live, he loved me unconditionally. I miss him already....
Ron Hair Family - Las Vegas | 9:29 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
To a beloved Prophet of God....We love and will miss you, but by the very gift
of the living Christ who unites us, we shall meet again and rejoice through the
eternities! Well done thou good and faithful servant!

President Hnckley will be missed. While President Hinckley was in service, 4
million people were saved.This is a great loss to our church, but not enough to
stop us. Our prayers are with his family
Guerra Family from Lima, Peru | 9:30 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
President Hinckley has been such a great example of hard work and faithful
service (among so many other outstanding personal traits) that he'll be
greatly missed. We want to send our deepest sympathy to President
Hinckley's family. We feel so sorry to hear such sad news and we mourn his
loss. Nevertheless, we're happy to know that he'll reunite again with
his sweet and wonderful wife.
We're extremely grateful for his remarkable, touching, and thoughtful teachings he gave us in every General Conference of the Church or in the Liahona.
May God bless the Hinckley's fmaily.

Now that he is out of that body, he must be playing catch-up and doing much
more, and at a much faster pace. The man who never rested, is now free to
continue on with the great work he was so passionately involved in. Not dead,
simply passed on into the next realm of souls, and what a joyous renunion he
must be having with all those whose lives he touched, inspired, and loved. Well
done thou good and faithful servent. His new mansion is bigger than any in
existence on prospecter point!
Christian & Jan Mickelsen | 9:29 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
It was an extraordinary experience meeting President Hinckley when we attended
his ward one Sunday a few years ago. We will forever treasure that experience.
He was so much in touch with the ordinary person and his testimony inspired us
to do a little better and be a little kinder. We will miss you, our kind and
loving friend, President Hinckley...
Bonnie Howell | 9:30 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
President Hinckley was a wonderful man, Prophet, Seer & Revelator. I have
been in constant amazement at his vigor & stamina over the years. He was a
true Servant and has earned a well-deserved rest.
