Okay, I know it's been coming for a while but I was surprised when I heard that President Gordon B. Hinckley passed away last night. I remember Presidents Benson and Hunter but for me, President Hinckley was the first President of the Church that made an impression. He helped my testimony grow when I was old enough to listen. I thought to myself, Heavenly Father must be rejoicing today to have this faithful servant by his side again. He was so kind and witty. I admire the relationship he had with his wife. I'll miss his light spirit and his energy but look forward to President Monson. I'm overjoyed to be in a church that knows exactly what the next step is. Even if the President of the Church dies, the work goes forward without missing a beat. Most of all, President Hinckley has made me want to be more generous, more kind, a better example to my kids, more forgiving and more understanding. Loves to everyone today!

All I can say to that is "Amen."
Thanks Jamie! Ditto to what you said. I love that these transitions happen so smoothly. This church truly is directed and lead by the Savior.
