We are at my mom and dads for my sister Julie's birthday. We received a call from my brother Tom, who is at BYU, and said that President Gordon B. Hinckley died tonight. He was 97 years old and died from issues related to his age. He was our 15th prophet and has served since March 12, 1995. He became our prophet the week after I returned home from my mission in Oregon. He was the oldest prophet, surpassing David O. McKay. President Hinckley will be remembered for building more than 74 temples worldwide. He was so sweet and I'll always remember his smile. He was the first prophet my kids knew, so it will be neat to see them get to know a new one and sustain him. They will have to learn a new verse to their prophet song. He will be greatly missed, we love him. Now he can be with his dear wife.
