That’s really what struck me today during the funeral services was when several people described his real sorrow and grief when Sis. Hinckley died. He was SO relate able! I’d been thinking since he died that I shouldn’t feel sad, yet I did. I wondered if I just needed more faith, but then knowing that even President Hinckley grieved the loss of someone he loved taught me that it’s not about a lack of faith, for surely his faith never wavered. In fact, in faith he got up and “put his shoes on and went to work”. It is simply the way we, as mortals, feel…sad to be parted from those we admire and love and from those who bless our lives. But, like this wonderful prophet did for 97 years, I, too must put my “shoes” on each day and “go to work”.

Apparently I need my own post about this!

Oh how I truly love the prophet. What a beautiful service. I wonder how long it will be before our RS lesson manual will be from his teachings. The JS is so thick now can you only imagine what GBH’s book will be like. quote…”Life is to be enjoyed not just endured…” I’ve been hanging on to GBH’s thought for a while now. We’re all a better person because of him.

Isn't it funny? That is what I loved most about him too. He was so human, and approachable, and you could tell that he loved Heavenly Father.

I loved how much he loved his wife, and it gives me such joy to know that they are together again.
