Gordon B. Hinkley
1910 - 2008

Today the prophet was laid to rest.

I really did love this man. How could you not? He was such an incredible person. His conviction inspired me and every time I heard him speak I was able to retain a part of his enormous faith and keep it as my own. A gift that he gave to many, I would suppose. He inspired millions and truly led by his unwaivering example. It makes me happy to know that he has been reunited with his wife and that he is joyous! Despite all of this, I find myself filled with emotion over this loss. I feel sadness when I think of how we wont hear him speak again and the loss of such an amazing man.

Thank you President Hinkley for living such a beautiful life and for inspiring me to be a better person. I am filled with deep appreciation and gratitude for your service and your dedication to this church. I will miss you.



God be with you till we meet again,
By His counsels guide, uphold you,
With His sheep securely fold you,
God be with you till we meet again.

Till we meet, till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus’ feet;
Till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again,
Neath His wings securely hide you,
Daily manna still provide you,
God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again,
When life’s perils thick confound you,
Put His arms unfailing round you,
God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again,
Keep love’s banner floating o’er you,
Smite death’s threat’ning wave before you,
God be with you till we meet again.
