Very sad. I actually got choked up when I told my wife. He was an amazing man.

Monson will be hard pressed to match Hinckley's abilities as a public relations genius. Monson has his strengths, however, and might lead us into an era of greater pronouncements from the mantle he now assumes.

My sentiments are the same as everyone else's.
It is a sad day for the Church he left behind, but it is a very happy reunion for he and his wife, as well as his predecessors both in the church and in his family. It is truly the end of an era. |

A bittersweet day for certain. I am 32 years old and he has almost always seemed like the face of the church to me, and one of the best faces of the church. I will miss him immensely.
RIP President Hinckley |

I hope it brings longevity, but he has been very sick of late. Monson is struggling with diabetes, and he has been in the hospital several times with debilitating sickness in the past few years.
I last saw him a few months back, and he looked much better. I think he can offer a lot as prophet, and I hope his health holds up. |

Maybe that is the real him. I don't know. Does anyone have a sense of this?
