We will miss him sooo much, he will always be one of my favorite Presidents, what a great example to the world he's been.
What a wonderful reunion it must have been back with his sweet wife.

I don't know why...but I have been so saddened by this all day. I KNOW he is SO happy and it's hard to be sad for a man who is SO happy to have graduated from this life...with honors...but he is the only prophet I've known and I just will miss his sweet spirit! Thanks for the post...I actually posted a very similar post on my blog as well!
I was sad at first by this of course for our loss but then I thought of his reunion with his wife and what a happy day it was for both of them. He was my favorite prophet also and I will miss his presence greatly.
Where is your getting to know you list? I wasn't finished reading it. I loved it. Did you take it off?
