What a remarkable life you have led! We will miss you greatly but rejoice in the knowledge that you are with your sweet wife and our Heavenly Father once again! You will be with us always in our hearts and in the spirit of our home!
~WE LOVE YOU PRESIDENT HINCKLEY~
We had the wonderful opportunity of attending the viewing of President Hinckley! What an amazing and spiritual experience it was. I was so proud of the kids. We waited in line a total of five and 1/2 hours for our chance to say goodbye to a beloved leader! It was worth every second! He looked wonderful! So peaceful! We all blew him a kiss. As I was holding Tate, he blew his kiss and said "I love you". That was a moment I will never forget! I hope that the beautiful spirit that we felt in that room will be something that our children will never forget as well. What a wonderful Friday night out as a family! We are so truly blessed!
Waiting in line outside of the Conference Center.
(I didn't realize that I'd caught a goofy picture of Mitchell...
this was after about an hour in line.... maybe he was getting a little freeze brain!)
The line wrapped all the way around to the north side of the Conference Center. The total outside wait time was about 3 hours. There was reported to be approximately 65,000 people who attended the two day viewing. What a remarkable tribute!
Once inside the Conference Center we waited about an hour and 1/2 in the auditorium. They showed wonderful video footage of President Hinckley's life. Again... I'm not kidding you... the kids were amazing!
When it was our sections turn to go.. it was only about an hour of walking through a line
up to the Hall of Prophets!

The kids were so reverent when we arrived... and the spirit in that room was so strong it was almost tangible! What an amazing experience!
Back outside afterwards...My little troopers are still smiling!
The kids loved see the temple all lit up.
They are always so excited to be near the temple!
This picture is worth a thousand words!
