I am so grateful to belong to a loving, grateful people, led by meek and noble prophets, including this very special prophet with whom we have to part for a time. Let's honor him by living "after the manner of happiness," more and more every day (2 Nephi 5). Thank you for sharing these beautiful experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

I honor him as a prophet, and friend. He specially loved the youth of the church. He has been a super optimistic in the face of some of the most troubling times this world has ever faced. I found a site honoring him, where anyone can go to and leave a message in tribute to his memory.

We all miss him, but we're all glad for him. It sort of makes life feel shorter when people we love die. It's hard to imagine life without them, so I sort of gap between the rest of life to imagine when I'll be with them in heaven, and it makes the wait seem shorter. Amen, Emily.

This is the first prophet to die with the internet really in full swing, and this is really the first opportunity we all have to reach out to each other in an entirely new way. I remember after President Kimball died, I spent an entire day on the phone with all my friends -- doing largely the same thing that's happening in the blog world today -- sharing memories and feelings. It's been really wonderful to do. Emily, I’ve felt that need, too, and have been trolling the bloggernacle and crying for two hours.

I have felt the need to... connect with people today, to read and listen to others' memories of President Hinckley. It strengthens me to read of others who feel the same way I do about him.

That smile, those sparkling eyes, the unfailing testimony of our Savior. When he spoke, I could feel the love of the Lord coming through. I'm so glad he can be with his sweet wife again.

However, today I must. First, Sharlee what your neighbor did & said made me cry. THAT is the spirit of what President Hinckley has been trying to teach us all. Tolerance and kindness. Second, I too have felt the stirrings of the Spirit testify to me that this man truly was the mouthpiece for The Lord. My husband tells a story of seeing him in the underground parking lot of the Joesph Smith Building in SLC and President Hinckley zipping by in his little golf cart... stopping.. going backwards to say to Jefe "how do you like my new car?" Then laughing and zipping off again. His sense of humor was evident in the sparkle in his eye. He will be missed, but what a sweet reunion, I'll bet, took place last night!

"I wanted to call and tell you how sorry I am to hear about the loss of your president," she said. "And I was wondering if it would be okay if I brought dinner over tonight." I haven't been so touched in a very long time.
