The Man, Gordon B. Hinckley


Tonight at 7:45pm, Sarah learned on TV that President Gordon B. Hinckley had passed away. He died at 7pm due to age related issues. I have been watching the news since and have enjoyed the many kind things people have said. It has been a good evening to remember his life. Religious or not, Mormon or not, this man lived a life that we could all learn from. The world would be a better place if it had more Gordon B. Hinckley's in it. The country, state, county, city, neighborhood, and home all stand to benefit if we each tried in some way to emulate the principles he lived by. He truly loved all he came in contact with. He will be missed.

He will be missed. I am so happy for him. Can you imagine the joy on his and Sis. Hinckley's face when they saw each other? Such wonderful people.

A great piece. It made my lower lip quiver a bit.

For some reason, it cuts out the last part.

the URL above is almost complete. Add /5127/ to the end.

This quote is on my office wall this month.

"Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye, a smile on your face, but with great purpose in your heart."

Gordon B. Hinckley

Sounds just like him, doesn't it?
