A truly great religious leader has passed away this evening. President Gordon B. Hinckley lived to the ripe old age of 97. He will be greatly missed by so many. There are over 12 million members of our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who will be mourning his passing. He was not only the prophet who taught us and lead us, but he was also a man of exemplary faith and wisdom with a wonderful sense of humor.

He will be missed! He lived such a long full life and he was ready to move on to the next stage of life.
