God be with You 'til we meet again...



President Monson said this when Sister Hinckley passed away, "Today there's a place vacant in our hearts.  We morn her passing, yet . . .  all we loved and knew about Marjorie continues.  Her spirit has simply gone home to God."  Is it not the same for us to think of President Hinckley this way.  Not only is he home with is sweet eternal companion but he is also standing in the presence of our Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ whom he had spent his whole life serving others on their behalf.  What a wonderful man we have lost but what a great work he did while on this earth and that is the work we will all remember him for as each of us strive to be a little better and continue doing the work that he so much enjoyed.  How lucky are we to have been alive when President Hinckley was our Prophet.  I know I will miss his sense of humor and he sweet smile as well as his words of encouragement and love.  Until we meet again our beloved prophet...

You said it Janett! What an amazing man he was! He truly set the example of how we should be....I picture him meeting with the Savior, Joseph Smith, his parents, sweet wife (who i think is amazing herself!)...and can only feel joy.
