Default Someone on Cougarboard said President Hinckley passed away.....

Anyone hear this? I would guess it would be all over the media right now but no word anywhere.

On KSL right now. He lived a good, long life and is back with his wife. President Monson will do well.

Very sad. Just tonight someone was telling me they recently heard him say "I"m the last leaf on the tree and the wind is blowing." I will miss his humor.

I will truly miss him. If we are allowed to have favorites. I always thought President McKay would always be mine. However, President Hinckley was just so great.

He will be missed, and long and fondly remembered.

Having been born in '64, I don't remember McKay, so I'd have to put Hinkley or Kimball as my favorite.

He had a way of making you think that knew him and that he cared about you. In other words, his warmth made the church a smaller place.

However, a new era is at hand now, and Br. Hinckley has entered his new work.
