What an incredible example of one who followed the teachings of Joseph Smith, Jr. and Brigham Young. I'm so glad I was baptized soon after he became the Prophet. I'v never known another for these twelve wonderful years. Thank you so very much GBH.

Gordon B Hinckley was the first prophet I knew when I learned this was the True Church on the earth. I learned the Book of Mormon is true, Joseph Smith is the Prophet of the Restoration, Jesus is the Christ and that President Hinckley was the living prophet. He will always hold a special place in my heart.

I am so grateful for this family's example of living the real life, enjoying humor, admitting to being less-than-perfect, basically being transparent and setting that standard of honesty and openness. It has helped me to relax about my imperfections as well as those of others, and laugh at myself a little more. And the work ethic is layered in there with emphasis. Thanks.

I am so thankful that President Gordon B Hinckley was prophet during my conversion to the gospel, his humor and wise words has strengthen me in my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that he will forever be remembered and will be sadly missed by all, we have reaped the blessings that our dear prophet has sowed for us.

President Hinckley is a part of my life. Two years of my life was spent testifying that he was a true prophet.
