so you'll most likely understand that i was sad to hear tonight that he has passed away at the ripe old age of 97. i'll save my emotions and extended thoughts on him and this occurrence for my journal, but i want to say that i am so grateful for his life and everything he accomplished for the church in the past almost-13 years he has been prophet.
one of the things i love most about this church is its order...president hinckley is gone but president monson will fall right into place as his successor and we will move on...and i will never forget the impact he had on my life.

He has been the prophet for the majority of my life. I can't believe he's gone now. I know he's in a better place with his wife...and probably so happy to see her. I bet he had quite the welcome home!
I knew you would come through and pay tribute. When I heard the news about our beloved Prophet, my thoughts turned to you. I am sad of his passing...and I cried to hear the news. But I knew you had a special (almost stalkerish) love for our Prophet. Did you ever get to shake his hand?
