Whiting Family Blog: January 2008

It is unbelievable. I have experienced so many firsts in my life, especially with the church. But this is the first time in my life where I have ever experienced the death of a Prophet (when I remember and comprehend it). I am deeply saddened by the loss of this great man, Gordon B. Hinckley. Although I never got the opportunity to meet him, you couldn't help but learn to love this cute old man. I will miss him and hearing his wonderful talks during conferences. The one thing that brings me solace is to know that he is now with Marjorie and they are dancing and running around and enjoying being together once again. I LOVE YOU GORDON B. HINCKLEY! GOD BE WITH YOU UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
