Gordon B Hinckley, the prophet of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, passed away on Sunday evening. President Hinckley was 97-years-old and was our prophet for almost 13 years. His death is very sad for all of us here on this earth, but what a happy reunion for him and his wife. His darling wife, Marjorie Pay Hinckley, passed away about 4 years ago. They were the cutest couple and I am sure they are so happy to be together again.
We are so blessed to have had such a wonderful man serve as our prophet. He was so selfless and served the church endlessly. President Hinckley was so witty and had such a fun sense of humor. I always loved watching him on Larry King Live or in interviews with Mike Wallace. I will always remember his sweet smile and his many words of wisdom including his "B's" - "Be grateful, be smart, be clean, be true, be humble and be prayerful". Such a simple statement, but yet if we all lived by it we could be a bit more like this beloved man.
