Gordon B. Hinckley

JANUARY 27th 2008, SUNDAY
The prophet Gordon B. Hinckley 1910- 2008


Prophetic Passing

I imagine he's running to Marjorie now,

Yes, running, not waving his cane.

I see him embracing his father and mother

While they keep repeating his name.

I see him now meeting his forebears,

Brother Brigham and Joseph are there.

Sweet reunion of prophets, united by service

That only such noble men share.

I see him embraced by the Savior

While Father says, "Good and well done.

So faithful in stalwart endurance, I welcome

My noble, most excellent son."

I then hear the ripples of laughter

As he says the reception's just fine,

But he hopes that he'll get an assignment or two

Since there's no need to waste any time.

I can hear his clear voice in the stillness

At the close of this sweet Sabbath day,

Have faith and move forward — there's work to be done.

President Hinckley would want it that way.

Anna M. Molgard

Gordon and Marjorie sharing a few good laughs together

Together Forever!
What a great smile!





Gordon B. Hinckley passed away January 27th 2008 on a Sunday at 7pm in his home with his family who were gathered close around him. This man was no ordinary man he was a true prophet of God who lead by remarkable strength and revealing revelation.

Dustin received an e-mail yesterday from our bishop announcing the death of the prophet and once I received the news, a feeling of peace and joy came over me. It was all so bitter sweet because All I could envision was him and his wife embracing with excitement and eagerness to be re-united together again for time and all eternity. What a a beautiful moment that must have been. I unfortunately was unable to be in the presence of such a great prophet but just to have been living in the same time he was alive and leading gives me such great honor. He will be greatly missed by many people in the world..
