You so easily and simply wrote the words that I feel but have had such a hard time expressing. Very beautiful.

I love this picture of him. He was such a gentle man and the soft smile on his face is one that I will always remember. It's a sad loss, but I know he is so happy to finally be reunited with the love of his life and eternal companion.

Thank you for sharing.

I still haven't told my kids yet... it's sad that they are so young and they will probably remember a different Prophet from their childhood. Also, they were just finally getting the right pronunciation. I also have comfort in the knowledge that he will be reunited with Sis. Hinkley.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have loved reading everyone's words, but I've been so selfish keeping mine to myself. Who knew I could be so private?
