to his wife. we will remember him as a good man and a great prophet of God...

That must have been some reunion--his wife Marjorie and the Savior. I'm
sure he heard the words "Well done, thou good and faithful servant".

He was truly a man of God. What an example of love and service, he lives in our

must have been. Thank you President Hinckley. We love you and will miss you
until we see you again.

When I heard the news I cried. My husband and I sang the hymn "We thank
Thee O God for a Prophet". I am so grateful to have listened to his
counsel. I love him so dearly- we will miss him. He is a man of virtue and
service. He lived his life to serve.

this beloved man with his precious Marjorie. The whole world has been blessed

The world is lessened by his passing, his example will always be before us. He
is loved by us and will be sorely missed, but he has gone to be with his wife as
it should be.
The Long Family | 9:32 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
As recent converts President Hinkley was an inspiration and a deciding factor in
our conversion to the Gospel. His dedication to the family was like a beacon to
family that was lost and oour lives have changed so significantly in the two
years we have been actively participating in developing a family that will last
for all eternity. We will miss him deeply and share in the joy of eternity that
his family has to look forward to.

miss him but we are also happy that he is with his beloved companion.
"Well done thou good and faithful servant!"
Bynum Family/California | 9:32 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
It was with great sorrow & shock to hear of the death of our beloved
prophet, President Hinkley. That sorrow is only diminished by knowing of his
happiness at the long anticipated reunion with his dear wife Majorie and to be
greeted by the Savior himself. If we could all be as faithful and diligent with
our given time upon the earth. What an outstanding example of Christlike
service and compassion. The loss will be felt, but the legacy will continue on.
Thank you President Hinckley we love and miss you.

We have been so...blessed with the years of service by President Gordon B.
Hinckley. When I was a teenager we only had 16 temples throughout the world.
Since President Hinckley starting serving in the First Presidency there have
been an explosion of Temples built and dedicated. That is a legacy that I will
always associate with him. He is truly a Prophet of God! This world is simply
a better place because of his service to the Lord. He never gave up, he
couldn�t give up! I am thankful for the knowledge that we
have. I know that he is with those of whom have passed before. I know that he
was welcomed as a man of faith and love. He will never be forgotten! His love
for all mankind continues to live in all of us who seek to serve with diligence
and love. He would want us to continue to serve and to love one another as he
as loved us!

What a man, what a Prophet. His leadership, counsel and love for everyone will
forever stand out to the world. This beloved man brought the church out into
the world, spiritually, politically and socially. May his family be blessed at
this sad time but oh the joyful reunion with his sweet wife and to see his
mother, oh my, I cannot imagine his joy. Our prayers are with the current
leaders and apostles as well as his family. Forever grateful for him. My
grandson said, "How could you look at the man and not know He is a Prophet
of God."

He was such a gentle soul yet a profoundly powerful leader. His powerful
influence was felt throughout the Church and the world. He has done so much
good in both 'arenas'. Rest in peace, President Hinckley. You are so
loved here but so much more loved in the glorious place you are now privileged
to occupy along with your beloved wife. Love and condolences to the Hinckley
family he left behind. I will miss him as will millions of Church members who
tenderly revered him as our Dear Prophet. Goodbye Dear President Hinckley. We
love you.

grandpa died."

dedicated to d church! let us continue to follow his examoles & his
teachings!god bless his family. .

President Hinckley once mused that he and Sister Hinckley were in reasonably
good health; however, they no longer bought green bananas. Long life is a gift
but usefulness to such a degree over such a long life is a rare legacy for the
ages. What a wonderful example of what a life can be, if we all are but willing
to do what is right and let the consequence follow each and every day.
DAY-GOMES in MEXICO | 9:35 p.m. Jan. 27, 2008
What a wonderful man. He leaves a legacy that touch many lives. We love him and
happy because he will meet his beloved Marjorie.

The world all over morns both the loss of a great prophet as well as a great
man!! My condolences to the Hinkley family, and prayers to all of us that we can
continue to carry on the things that President Hinkley strived to teach us all.
Things that he lived and emulated so very well...
