My Tribute to Gordon B. Hinkley


I was sitting here with my daughter thinking about strong, powerful, and amazing people. One man came to mind-Gordon B. Hinkley. I truly think he was a very special man. A very nice man. A very caring man. A man who not only dedicated so much of himself to the people in the church he presided over but to the people all over the world.

When I looked at Gordon B. Hinkley, I got a feeling a comfort and I had a great amount of respect for him.

Neal and I had the greatest privilege of seeing President Hinkley when he visited SC (I think it was Greenville, not sure). I went because I new it was going to be a once in a life time chance to see him. And I loved him so much, I just had to go. I remember seeing him and his wife and they just looked so sweet and kind. Gordon B. Hinkley was a true to character individual. What he said, he lived by. He was not a judgemental man. I can't imagine one ugly, mean, or hurtful word ever coming out of his mouth. He truly lived, as best as he could, humble in the image of Christ. What a wonderful man and example he was and still is to me. There will always be one special place saved in my heart just for him.
