As we gathered as a family last night for dinner, none of us were expecting the phone call that would change the face of our Church today. At about 8:00 pm we received word that our dearly loved Prophet had passed away about an hour before. We were, needless to say, a little stunned. This amazing, gentle, yet powerful man has lead the Church for the past 12 years, and at the age of 97 was finally called home. He was a truly remarkable man. I can only imagine the tender reunion that awaited him, not only with his beloved wife, Marjorie, that he has missed so much, but with our Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ. I can almost hear the words, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Well done." Of all men who walk the earth today, he was most sincerely, the closest to heaven of all I've ever known. We will miss you, President Hinkley, but we're so grateful to know exactly where you are. God be with you until we meet again.
