"Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant"

I will miss President Hinckley! He was such an amazing man. He always had a smile. He was a wise man and a holy man, but he still had a great sense of humor. You could see the twinkle in his eye. He taught us simple truths to help us have better lives:


"Stand a little taller"

"Forget yourself and go to work!"

"The best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother"

...and so many other words of wisdom!


He said these words at a BYU devotional in September 2007:


"Now, my brothers and sisters, there it is. I am now in my 98th year. I have been around a very long time. I have seen much of life, its triumphs and its failures. I am convinced that there are more triumphs than failures."


His life was a triumph. He was an amazing example. Well done President Hinckley - enjoy your rest and reward!
