“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.”
( Conference Report, Apr. 1995, 95.)
President Hinckley was the fifteenth president of the church and holds the record for dedicating the most LDS Church temples and has dedicated more than half of the current LDS Church temples. He was the oldest person to preside over the LDS Church in its history.
President Hinckley was truly a great example. I can't believe he's gone. As a child, I remember many of the prophets before their passing. I don't recall any being so vibrant and brilliant up until their passing like President Hinckley. This is a sad day. President Hinckley, you will be truly missed. Thank you for sharing your light with us.

May we all stand a little taller in memory of him.

President Hinckley has done so much for so many. I honor him as a prophet, and friend. He specially loved the youth of the church. He has been a super optimistic in the face of some of the most troubling times this world has ever faced.
I found a site honoring him, where anyone can go to and leave a message in tribute to his memory.
The site is:
