How we love and miss our dear prophet, President Gordon B. Hinckley. Funeral services were so very beautiful today and we are so thankful for his lifelong example of love and service. He is a man who may be followed by all people of any religious orientation as a true disciple and follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and as a peaceable example of kind and serviceable living. May his life be studied and may we all be edified by his example and teachings.
When he passed this previous Sunday, one week ago, it was indeed a tragedy to have lost such an important part of our lives. My wife shed torrents of tears as this dear prophet moved beyond the veil of this mortality as he is the prophet of her baptism. He was the prophet and president of the Church when she and my daughter were baptized back in 1997.
It is a sad occasion, however there is great reason to rejoice for him as well. Now he is with his beloved wife Marjorie Hinckley and with all of the other family members as well as the great and noble spirits who have gone on before. I am certain that he is engaged in the great missionary efforts that are being pursued under the direction of our Savior Jesus Christ in the spirit world at this moment.
May we, who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ, remember him and recall a basic admonition from him:
“The time has come for us to stand a little taller, to lift our eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension and understanding of the grand millennial mission of this, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”

I'm a father of five with the spirit of a genuine explorer. Having these curious tendencies
has alwasy led me down the entrepreneurial road in order to seek better situations for my family,
my loved ones and my human family. Currently I am owner and president of a few companies,
including a very exciting new startup that could be "the next big thing."
