President Hinckley is loved, and will be missed, but his legacy will always be with us.

I am deeply touched by this great man, my prophet, my friend.

What a wonderful man! I loved him so much, I will miss him so much! I know I am not the only one who feels like they are saying goodbye to a dear friend today. Every time he spoke it was as if he was speaking directly to me, for my needs only. Thank You Pres. Hinckley! Until we meet again!

I loved President Hinckley. I never met him, however, I felt I knew him all of my life. He was our prophet and our friend. He was an inspiration to us all. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for him. Testimony meeting is always special but tomorrow will be a little more special. God be with you til we meet again!

He was an example for all of mankind,as a father, husband teacher and leader. Truly a man of God. The world has need of more men like him. He will be missed but remembered with great love and we shall all have wonderful memories of our beloved Prophet and leader.

Mike Wallace called President Hinckley "the real deal." He demosntrated for us what it meant to love and respect one another, regardless of differing philosophies or beliefs. He was a great person, and he will be truly missed.

I loves Pres. Monson's story about the cane 'cause he's like, ''YOU TELL HIM!''
to President Hinckley's doctor 'cause of how he used it for waving it instead of using it for walking! God be with you 'till we meet again my best friend!
