President Gordon B. Hinckley

I am sure that most of you have heard that our amazing Prophet, President Hinckley joined his beloved wife last night. I recieved this email a while back and wanted to share it with everyone. This is in rememberance of our wonderful Prophet.

No one shines brighter on this earth than our own President Gordon B. Hinckley!

President Hinckley always uses his cane, just not much for walking. Accra, Ghana

See what I mean. He was told to carry a cane and that's what he does - he carries it. Elder Russell M. Nelson is at far right. Accra, Ghana


Not all of us have such a fancy pointing stick as President Hinckley. Kirtland Temple


We marveled at the contrast of Joseph Smith's visit to the White House to meet with President Van Buren and President Hinckley's visit to the White House to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor given a United States citizen. The White House, Washington, D.C.

President Hinckley said that "Sister Hinckley would have loved this event." The White House, Washington, D.C.

You just can't help breaking into a smile when you are around Gordon B. Hinckley. Kirtland Temple

President Hinckley is patient with all the photographers who are constantly taking his picture. He did say to us one time, in a quiet tone , that "if all the cameras in the world were thrown into the ocean, there would be a great flood." Kirtland Temple


Who can resist President Gordon B. Hinckley's warmth? Kirtland Temple.


President and Sister Hinckley were just the trademark of happiness in Ghana. No one could keep their eyes off of them. Their warmth was infectious. Their kind waves of the hand always made everyone feel loved. Accra, Ghana


These two are love birds, no less. Kirtland, Ohio

I'll never forget when President Hinckley invited his precious wife to the stand in Moscow and introduced her to the 2,000 present as his "Babushka." It brought the house down - they loved it. Moscow, Russia

When we first published it, one woman wrote to us and said, "If people don't believe Mormons are Christians, just have them look at this picture of Sister Marjorie Hinckley." I so agree. Nauvoo, Illinois

How blessed we are to live during the administration and ministry of President Gordon B. Hinckley. Nauvoo, Illinois

Thanks for posting this, I believe I received a shortened version of it some time ago. He was a great man, and will be missed.
