We are saddened by the death of Pres. Hinckley. For the most part of my life and KC's Pres Hinckley has been our prophet. He has become loved by so many people. It's amazing how youth and adults want to watch conference just to hear him speak. He has done great things through out his life with going on 20/20 and Larry King Live a few times and helping get so many temples built. We have all been blessed by his life but are glad he's back with his wife whom he loves so much.
I read the statement from President Bush about the death of our prophet and I thought it was sweet so I wanted to post it:
"Laura and I are deeply saddened by the death of our friend, Gordon B. Hinckley. While serving for over seven decades in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gordon demonstrated the heart of a servant and the wisdom of a leader. He was a tireless worker and a talented communicator who was respected in his community and beloved by his congregation. As President of his church, he traveled to more than 60 countries to spread a message of love and optimism to the millions of people around the world who shared his faith.
A Mayflower descendant and the grandson of Mormon pioneers, Gordon was a deeply patriotic man. His leadership and service strengthened the Board of Trustees of Brigham Young University, the Boy Scouts of America, and the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. In 2004, I was honored to present him with the Medal of Freedom, our Nation's highest civil award, in recognition of his lifelong public service.
Laura and I will miss Gordon's friendship and wisdom. Our thoughts and prayers are with his five children and the rest of the Hinckley family"
