Thanks, Joe, for saying what we are all feeling. Your columns make me proud to say you and I are distant cousins. Grandpa Henson would be proud of you, too.

Thank you Joe for caring and loving at such a young age. Yes, we are all going to miss President Hinckley. Tears cloud my eyes as I type this. He was magic with his sense of humor, his testimony and love for the Lord. We have always felt we were better after listening to him speak. He was a dear man and now he is in the arms of the love of his life Marjorie. President Monson needs out prayers and support at this time especially losing a best friend and brother. Our prayers are with all the apostles and the leaders of our church everywhere.

I too remember the shock and surprise of President McKay's death and your article has really hit home. Thank you for the wonderful lesson and sentiment you have shared with us. Some of us are veterans of this kind of event but for millions President Hinckley is the only prophet they have known. Your article will help. I will miss President Hinckley but we will move on with the next Prophet called by the Lord.

I saw the Prophet at the Sydney entertainment Center,When he spoke you could hear a pin drop, After he spoke there was not a dry eye in the place,I had goose bumps, We sang we thank thee O God for a Prophet,And God Be with you till we meet again. A wish I held deep in my heart that he would again visit Auz and I woul get to meet him, He did but I never got to see him. I guess I thought he would be around for ever,I never realy thought that one day he would be called home. It is a sad,sad day here in Auz I look at his picture in my hall and the tears sting my eyes and wonder how will I get threw this day. I dont dare ring my Sisters because I know that they are feeling the same as me. Persident Hinkley will be surely missed. I pray for his family and send love from the land down under.
