A Great Man Has Died


As I awoke this morning and clicked on my internet connection - I had the feeling that I needed to look at the church website (www.lds.com) to catch up on the news. Although the news was not truly a surprise because somehow -- I feel I had been prepared to read that a man I have come to love and admire had died -- Gordon B Hinckley -- a prophet of the Lord had died. I shed a tear or two and then a sweet feeling of peace and joy overtook the sadness. This wonderful man, again, is going to see his Lord and Savior. He will be with his beautiful and loving companion - Sister Hinckley. He was a faithful servant and his service could not be matched by many. His example was a beacon and a comfort for me -- I will truly miss him.
